    Govinda

    Though this intimate restaurant owned by a Spanish expatriate suffers from perpetual identity crises (first Italian, this Chilean-Spanish fusion with Indian accents, now changing to straight-up Spanish tapas and downsizing the prices), there remains one constant worth visiting for: the roasted eggplant in a house-made ricotta, tomato and yogurt sauce, an innovative dish that sends your palette dancing after mucho travel in southern Chile. The artisanal homebrew is also excellent.

  2. Imperial 605

    This historic house above the costanera is dressed in sexy reds, saucy blacks and hardwood ceilings, upping the style ante in town. The food follows suit – lentil burgers with curry and grilled goat cheese, pork medallions in red wine reduction with mushroom and fava bean risotto – taking Puerto Varas to new culinary heights without sacrificing flavor for fashion.

    Sirocco

    Divine contemporary Patagonian specialties such as Magellanic lamb and native rabbit are worth forking over the pesos for a special night out at this high-end haute restaurant in a large house accented with local art. The puré rustico are the best mashed potatoes this side of grandma’s house.

    Sushi Varas

    If you don’t like cream cheese, speak up when you order; otherwise the sushi here will fulfill your cravings for raw fish but OD you on the Philadelphia. Your wallet will appreciate the CH$3900 lunch special.

    Donde El Gordito

    From the same family that owns the more famous La Olla, this smaller and cheaper (and some say better) seafood spot in the Mercado Municipal does wonderful things with crab sauce. It’s rich, but excellent.

    Caffé El Barrista

    The smart Italian coffeehouse has the best brew in this chapter. There’s a small selection of sandwiches as well.
