La Calesa
With excellent views out over the water (two tables are outside), this intimate restaurant in a multiroom mansion serves Peruvian staples like garlic-roasted chicken and an excellent lomo saltado. The pisco sours are memorable as is the suspiro, a Peruvian desert made from manjar and meringue and laced with pisco.

La Última Frontera
This bohemian café is the kind of place Valdivia needs more of, hidden away in a restored mansion among a battalion of trees and cutting-edge art. Creative sandwiches, fresh juices and a chill vibe day and night courtesy of the town’s hip artistic front make it a must-stop. If they had rooms, you’d never need to leave.

La Parilla de Thor
A waft of cedar and asado greets diners at this Argentine steakhouse on the Costanera. A porteño might argue, but the bife de chorizo here is shockingly close to what you get in Argentina – the only thing missing is the Malbec.

New Orleans
The seafood gumbo at this speakeasy-style restaurant ain’t winning any Louisiana cook-offs, but it’s a nice change of culinary pace on the otherwise Chilean-international menu. That said, it’s an expensive spot and, worse, an all-smoking restaurant.

Santo Pecado
Funky lounge chairs and banquets and Jetsons-style lights insure the environment in this lounge-restaurant is uber-trendy. The innovative menu features such missing-in-action culinary flavors as curry, pesto and goat cheese.

Café Hausmann
This Valdivia classic is a family-owned hole-in-the-wall serving up the town’s top cruditos (carpaccio served on toast), strudel and küchen. But instant coffee? Here? Jesus.
