Taste of Chile Explore the Culinary Regions Beyond Santiago's Restaurants

Patagonia

Patagonia, the southernmost region of Chile, is known for its breathtaking landscapes and hearty cuisine. The local food is heavily influenced by the area's ranching culture, with dishes like asado al palo (spit-roasted lamb) and cordero al palo (spit-roasted lamb) being local favorites. The region's many estancias (ranches) offer visitors the chance to experience traditional Patagonian cooking firsthand. Despite its remote location, Patagonia's culinary scene is thriving, with a number of fine dining restaurants offering modern interpretations of traditional dishes.
