Restaurante Las Buenas Brasas — Restaurant in Puerto Varas

The whole experience was tainted from the start, as when we entered the restaurant, we were met with a distasteful smell, which we discovered later, came from some exposed seafood on the entrance. Then we got the menus and were shocked by absurdly overpriced it was. A simple crepe costs 11900 pesos and the filets was 11900, but was served without any side dishes. We settled on the salmon with potatoes and a scallops and spinach crepe. The fish was unevenly tempered: one side of the fish was ok, but the other completely bland. The potatoes were fine, but didn’t taste like it deserved the price tag of 10900 pesos.

Recommended seafood restaurant by locals - very touristy place. Good ambiance. Have outside seating too which weather permitting would be great. Huge portion sizes, average food and good wine.

They kept forgetting when we ordered so had to remind them to bring out condiments, extra plates, silverware etc. Ordered salmon with vegetables and a vegetable salad. Didn't like the salmon much. Side of salad was just ok. Had a crepe for dessert which was the best thing...
