Almacen Ramos Generales

Kalma Resto
Creating quite a stir, this tiny chef-owned gem presents Fuegian staples – like crab and octopus – in a giddy new context. Black sea bass, a rich deep-sea dweller, is combined with a tart tomato sauce for contrast, roast lamb stews with earthy pine mushrooms and the summer greens and edible flowers come fresh from the garden. Service is stellar, with young chef Jorge making the rounds of the few black linen tables. For dessert, splurge with a not-too-sweet deconstructed chocolate cake.

Chiko
Popular 2nd-floor restaurant with an odd assemblage of Chilean memorabilia that spells homesickness for the owners from Chiloe, but it’s a clear boon to seafood lovers. King crab, paila marina (shellfish stew) and fish dishes are done so right that you might not mind the slow and sometimes clumsy service.
