Restaurants in Pucón

  1. La Maga

    There is a parrilla for every budget on Fresia between Gerónimo de Alderete and the plaza, but this Uruguayan steakhouse stands out for its bife de chorizo and house-cut fries. It’s not the cheapest, but there’s a consensus it’s the best with bang-on service to boot.

    Trawen

    Like everywhere else in town, there’s an outfitter element to this innovative and wonderfully casual deli that churns out some of Pucón’s most interesting flavor combinations: ravioli with Roquefort and roasted apples, Antarctic krill empanadas. It’s kind of a writer hangout, too.

  3. Cassís

    This sleek café is swamped for breakfast and onces (afternoon tea), but it also does multigrain sandwiches, chocolate fondue, pizza, an endless array of coffees and an entirely too tempting cornucopia of deserts (it’s also a chocolatería). If you don’t eat here, stop by for the decadent Crepe Cassìs, a milk caramel crepe buried under scoops of chocolate and dulce de leche ice cream and a caramel brownie.

  4. Viva Perú

    Start with the yuquitos (fried mandioca) and move on to the falling-off-the-bone, cilantro-heavy lamb stew at this smart Peruvian that serves slushy pisco sours made with Peruvian pisco. Chilenos can’t handle the aji rocoto salsa served here, but it should satiate your spice-neglected taste buds.

    Chef Pato

    A tasty spin on standard Chilean food, plus it has decent pizzas and pastas. Chef Pato's is a reliable, affordable choice and is open later than other restaurants. The chicken in mushroom sauce is worth a try and the dense homemade bread and salsas are memorable.

  6. Latitude 39°

    The California transplant owners here are filling a gringo niche – juicy American-style burgers, fat breakfast burritos, veggie tacos, BLTs, chili – that should stay your gastronomic homesickness for another day.

    Arabian Café

    It’s not Jerusalem but considering the distance, you’ll be surprised at the job they do here with falafel and hummus at this legit Arab restaurant that considers lomo a lo pobre an ‘alternative dish.’

    La Marmita de Pericles

    For a little alpine flavor stop in and feast on fondues, crepes and the usual assortment of steak and seafood. It is all well prepared and served in an upbeat, informal environment.

  9. Pizza Cala

    The best pizza in town is spit from a massive 1300-brick oven by an Argentine-American pizzamaker who grows his own fresh basil. In winter, it’s the only warm restaurant in town.

    Copakabana

    With standard fare and low prices, Copakabana is a solid pick for sandwiches, hamburgers and drinks.

    il Baretto

    Hands down the best pizza in Pucón. The thin crusts and delectable toppings may convince you to order a second pizza. It also has a pleasant patio and a full bar that can make it a decent social scene.
