Puerto Natales Food Guide: Must-Try Eats in Chile's Gateway to Patagon
This tiny Patagonian town punches way above its weight in food scenes! Even at 11 PM, restaurants were packed under the endless summer twilight—total vibe! Here’s my foodie hit list: 1️⃣ Afrigonia ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The ultimate crab feast! 🦀 Crab Trio Appetizer: King crab three ways—luxe, buttery, unmissable. 🍲 Seafood Masala Soup: Order it medium-spicy (trust me, the base is bland otherwise). 🍛 Crab & Shrimp Bistro Rice: Carb-loaded perfection. 👉 Pro Tip: Skip the lamb chops here—save your appetite for the next spot! 2️⃣ El Asador Patagónico 🐑🔥 Meat lovers, assemble! 🥩 Slow-Roasted Lamb Platter: Mixed cuts, best enjoyed as ribs (if you’re picky). 🍹 Pisco Sour: Cheaper here (4,800 CLP vs. 6,000 CLP elsewhere—budget win!). 💔 Wishlist: Needs a dash of Chinese cumin spice for that next-level kick! 3️⃣ La Disqueria Restaurant �💨 Hurry-up comfort food (but skip the weird stuff). 🦐 Shrimp Pil Pil: Garlicky butter shrimp + crusty bread = simple bliss. 🚫 Avoid: Disco Submarino (28,000 CLP beef-seafood mashup—confusing flavors, messy presentation). 4️⃣ Comida China "Antarctica" 🥢🍚 Patagonian Chinese comfort (with massive portions!). 🍜 Seafood Noodles: Hearty, wok-fired goodness. 🍖 Drunken Ribs: Tender but unexpected—boozy, not soy-saucy. 🍅 Tomato & Egg Stir-Fry: Classic homestyle fix. 🌙 Late-Night Savior: Ordered takeout when sick—still hit the spot! Final Notes Portions: Most dishes are HUGE—share if you’re not a Viking. Timing: Book ahead or dine early (post-9 PM = chaos). Sunset Dinners: Eat at 8 PM and still catch golden hour views! Puerto Natales may be small, but its flavors? Patagonian huge. 🏔️✨ #PatagoniaEats #PuertoNatalesFood #ChileTravel #CrabLover #PatagonianLamb #FoodieOnTheRoad
