Fogón de Cotelé
Reviews are mixed as to whether it’s still the best steak in town, but the experience at this intimate quincho-designed steakhouse with just seven tables surrounding an open hearth is priceless. Watching the owner methodically slow-cook your chosen weight of bife chorizo evokes Picasso in his prime. Just down the road in Pelluco, it can easily be reached by colectivo or buses from the terminal marked Chamiza (CH$300). Reservations are a good idea, especially Thursday through Sunday.

Tablón del Ancla
This soccer-fueled, caricature-walled bar-restaurant on prime Plaza de Armas real estate has a great bunless hamburger de lo pobre (hold the eggs), but insanity surrounds the parilla mixta, a mountain of mixed grilled meats served in a flame-contained bucket that feeds you, four friends and your unborn child for CH$18,500. They throw in pisco sours, too, just in case you need something to wash it all down.

El Balcón
This stylish, all-wood urban café is a little too hip for Muerto Montt. Chilax tunes stream overhead as contemporary spins on classic dishes like humitas del mar (corn cooked in tusks with king crab and shrimp) and revolutionary sopaipillas (fried batter bread) with spicy ají and eggless mayonnaise delight the palettes of the artistic and culturally inclined crowd that gathers here.

Hole-in-the-Wall Lunch Counters
Heading to Angelmó's plethora of hole-in-the-wall lunch counters is as much of a cultural experience as a culinary one - though it can be pretty touristy in high season. Anything with seafood is your best bet, including curanto (meat, potato and seafood stew). Chilotito Marino stands out from the crowd and Caleta Angelmó is another recommended spot.

Balzac
Touch up provincial Chilean cuisine with some French culinary accents and you have Balzac. Order from the expansive (and expensive) wine list and sample congrio in a cream sauce, Caesar salads, baked scallops in parmesan, grilled salmon and beef bourguignon. Appropriate for a place named Balzac, it attracts a swanky crowd.

Di Piazza
For some reason it can be a bit more difficult to find pasta places in Puerto Montt than in other towns. Di Piazza is considered the best pizzeria around (that doesn't say much) and also serves plenty of mix-and-match pasta and sauces. The pastas are filling, but relatively devoid of flavor.

Kalabaza
Stylish in an edge-of-the-civilized-world Puerto Montt type way, Kalabaza is more attractive than most other cafés in town, with sandwiches, Kuntsmann and fixed-price lunches (with lots of vegetarian options). The lunches and cruditos are more than filling.

Fogón del Leñador
The menu at this best steak in town states that all meat takes a minimum of 40 minutes to cook. That says it all, really, and they aren’t exaggerating. Sopaipillas are served with four house-made sauces, all of which are just as tasty on the superior filet.

Kalabaza
A burger-and-pitcher kind of place, but with a touch more style than the ubiquitous trash found up and down Antonio Vargas. They serve the kind of burger that’s great when you’re drunk at 2am, but not necessarily the one you’d want for lunch at noon.

Chilotito Marino
Chilotito Marino is one of Angelmó's hole-in-the-wall lunch counters and stands out from the crowd with such temptations as picorocos (giant barnacles) in herb sauce, served in a small cozy corner overlooking the port.

Patagonia Deli
This spot packs ’em in at lunch, when its set menu featuring an appetizer, main, a drink and an espresso is a steal at CH$3600. There are also sandwiches, pasta and a few veggie choices.

Café Central
This café is a smart choice for drinks, snacks and cakes. You can easily feeds two to three people on grilled meats from the parrilla and there are specials for kids.
