Retro’s Pub
- Ancud, Chile
- Restaurants › Pub
This cozy spot rides the fence between restaurant and pub, serving up the usual suspects plus Tex–Mex, killer burgers and a small veggie menu (though we’re not sure what the chicken Caesar salad is doing there). As far as bars go, this is the town classic for an atmospheric drink, a pretty perfect spot in light of the weather.

Años Luz
For a country that doesn’t exactly bowl foodies over with its culinary arts, this sophisticated refuge built around a centerpiece bar made out of an old fishing boat is an exception. Stylistically and gastronomically, it’s worth all the pesos in your wallet. The salmon ceviche is gorgeous; the filet del pueblo (filet with onions, bacon and a fried egg) is perfectly cooked; the house pisco sour (with honey and a cinnamon rim) is a welcomed twist on a classic; and the ice-cold Kunstmann drafts are served in proper beer mugs. Service isn’t exactly swift, but you’ll soon forget. As long as the naysayers claim it’s ‘not Chilota enough,’ there’ll be more for the rest of us.…

Don Octavio
You can practically dine on top of the fishing boats at this atmospheric palafito restaurant. There’s way too much mayonnaise on the menu, but in addition to the usual suspects, there’s also king crab and octopus. The curious signature dish, featuring your choice of fish, smothered in a sauce of onions, tomatoes, green peppers and sausage, then buried under a bound of thinly cut fried potatoes, is excellent.

Chilo's
This affordable haunt is on the second floor on the corner of Sotomayor and San Martín. The tablecloths may have holes and the service may disappear at times, but it has great local flavor and a menagerie of Castro characters. Get a seat next to the window, watch people strolling along San Martín, have a caldillo de mariscos and chase it with a frosty oversized beer.

Sacho
The languages flying through the air at this well-regarded seafood spot evoke the breakroom at the UN, but the food is all Chilota, served in a semi-refined atmosphere (whimsical tablecloths, linen napkins). The specialty is pulmay, a curanto-like shellfish dish featuring clams and mussels, but a little less meat and potatoes.

Casamar
Like many of the restaurants in town, the view is a greater draw than the food, but Casamar does serve dependable Chilean and international fare. At night it becomes a bar and on weekends they bring in a DJ and open up the dance floor. We can't vouch for the quality of the music, but it can be fun after enough drinks.

La Hormiguita
This delightful little bakery serves massive sandwiches (damn near impossible to eat without looking like a bumbling fool), pies, fruit juices and a few veggie choices. It alternates days serving lunch and dinner, so it’s best to turn up and see where they’re at in the cycle.

El Sacho
This is just a little hole-in-the-wall lunch counter, but it serves up heaping, inexpensive plates of excellent seafood matched only by its loads of local character. If you want to branch out from curanto, the cazuela chilota (seafood stew) deserves a try.

La Tavolata
So you heard all about Chiloé's famous seafood and after a few days of nonstop mussels, fish and crab, all you can think about is some good old-fashioned pizza. La Tavolata has not only a variety of good pizzas and homemade pastas, but a few vegetarian choices too.

Kuranton
This institution has an extensive menu of seafood, but it’s all about the curanto, Chiloé’s gastronomic bombshell. This hearty stew of mussels, clams, chicken, pork and three types of potatoes is a meal fit for hibernation. Don’t miss it.

Brújula del Cuerpo
A godsend for those tired of seafood, this Chilota-style diner does pizza, fajitas, American-style breakfast and other comida rapida. The burger, fries and drink combo meal (CH$1590) is pretty much heaven after days of mussels and clams.

La Pincoya
La Pincoya is a two-story, formal (but not stuffy) affair. The view is the place’s greatest highlight as most of the dishes are local standards. It is, however, a reliable place to sample curanto.

El Arrayán
A small café just before the entrance of Parque Nacional Chiloé and a good choice for basic local fare done well and cheaply. The set breakfasts are a must if you are hitting the park for a full day.
