Restaurants in Coyhaique

  1. A

    Café Ricer

    Best described as a gringo zoo, this high-priced café occupies soft sheepskin seats and a choice spot on the Plaza de Armas. Offerings are many, from a selection of ice creams to cakes and pies or salmon on a bed of greens. Vegetarians have OK ­options here.

    Lito's

    Lito's might not look like much, but the service is excellent and the traditional Chilean dishes are consistently well prepared. The fixed-price meal, including a platter full of salad and a good portion of fish or meat, is quite a bargain.

  3. La Casona

    Considered the best restaurant in town, with an intimate family atmosphere and a dose of white-linen formality. The menu features grilled lamb, seafood options and steaks. Palta Victoria, an avocado stuffed with crab, makes a great start.

  4. C

    Casino de Bomberos

    Call it a cultural experience, this classic but windowless eatery packs with locals downing seafood plates or steak and eggs. The one thing they’re short of is fresh air, with empanadas and French fries sizzling up the griddle.

  5. Café Confluencia

    The town’s best new find, this chic eatery serves heaping bowls of greens and themed dinner nights that bring fresh tacos way south. Mint pisco sours are standouts but teapots and fresh juices are good daytime fixes.

    Caféteria Alemana
