Tucked behind the crafts market, this collection of stalls – run by grandmotherly types who dish up curanto and cazuela, pound out milcao (potato bread) and dole out Chilote sweets – is Dalcalhue's don't-miss. Locals prefer No 8 (Camila – Donde Lula), as her cazuela with beef and luche (algae) is outstanding – but go with your gut.
