4 Best Restaurants in The Lake District, Chile

This is a good place to eat barbecue, steaks, and chicken (and just that, as it's meat-only here). The design intrigues as well, resembling a galpón, which means "barn" in English. There are not a lot of good dining options in Osorno, but this is probably the best.

On the outskirts of town near the lake, this stellar restaurant serves exceptional steaks. The menu has good and generous barbecue plates (including wild boar, goat, and lamb); there is a nice variety of seafood and pasta dishes, too. Desserts like homemade ice cream and tiramisu are worth the extra splurge. Service, which includes the involvement of the owner, is also friendly and prompt.

Get a table with an incredible view of the lake during the day if you can, and prepare to enjoy mouthwatering homemade bread and a delicious pisco sour. Then, go for one of their huge steaks, pork chops, or short ribs, along with the homemade French fries. If possible, and that's a big if, leave room for the spectacular desserts.

If you love a great steak house, and even if you don't (they also have fish and vegetarian options), this is the place to go in Futrono. In addition to the good food, there's a wide, impressive view of the lake and mountains: reserve a table on their terrace to appreciate it even further.
