6 Best Restaurants in El Norte Grande, Chile

This hip eatery creatively combines Peruvian, Japanese, and Chilean flavors in dishes served straight on the waterfront. You can expect Chilean classics like ceviche and empanadas as well as Peruvian and Nikkea staples of lomo saltado and rich seafood broth. The cocktails are also a highlight, and often use local fruit and herb mixers.

While you may not have come to San Pedro to eat pizza, this busy joint serves respectable thin-crust pies. The restaurant itself is not classy, but if you’re looking for a bit of home comfort or takeout for your hotel patio, Charrua is the place. Note that they don't have an alcohol license, but service is speedy and friendly.

Owner Carmen has managed to attract locals and tourists alike with her immensely popular restaurant that serves affordable, typically Chilean home-style dishes, ranging from soups and stews to roast meats and fish. Warm bread is served with a killer pebre (spicy salsa), and the lunch specials are the best value in San Pedro.

Locals love this seafood restaurant, and for good reason. The corvina con salsa margarita (sea bass in a seafood-based sauce) is a winner, as is the paila marina, a hearty soup stocked with all manner of fish. The dreary fluorescent lights and faux-wood paneling give this restaurant on the second story of a concrete-block building an undeserved down-at-the-heels air.
