2 Best Restaurants in The Lake District, Chile

Serving excellent Peruvian food, this restaurant founded by the Valerio family has become so popular that they've opened five locations in Temuco. Try the pisco sour with a ceviche or lomo saltado como Dios manda ("stir-fried beef as God intended"). 

As befits the name, Peruvian cuisine reigns supreme at this restaurant with rustic wooden tables. Try the ají de gallina (hen stew with cheese, milk, and peppers), ceviche, or the splendid saltado nikkei, a Japanese-style dish of fish, shrimp, squid, and stir-fried vegetables. You can dine on the porch, a nice option for a pleasant summer night—and take advantage of the two-for-one pisco sours nightly until 9 pm.
