Baltinache
Daily set menus built on local ingredients such as chañar and rica-rica, a small Indigenous fusion spot recommended by Fodor's.
Tucked into the Domingo Atienza alley beside the main street, Baltinache is run by owners with Mapuche and Atacameño Indigenous backgrounds, and it is a Fodor's pick. The fixed menu changes daily as a three-course meat or fish set, and there is also a tasting menu. Ingredients include guanaco, llama, chañar and rica-rica herbs. Desserts include algarrobo mousse and quinoa pudding. The space is small with few tables, so book in advance by phone or WhatsApp. Dinner only; closed Tuesdays. Three-course menus start at around 20,000 CLP.
