Travesía
Restaurant Travesía
Run by Chiloé food researchers, with local cooks working a wood-fired kitchen to serve authentic Chiloé dishes.
Located at Eusebio Lillo 188, the restaurant is run by Lorna Muñoz and colleagues, the author of a book on Chiloé cuisine, and it is a Fodor's pick. Walking in is like entering a Chiloé family kitchen with a wood-fired stove, where local cooks take charge. Ingredients come from the farmers' market across the street, and frozen goods are never used. Signature dishes include smoked pork with murta berry compote, curanto and conger eel soup. Seaweed (cochayuyo) and luche also feature in the cooking. After your meal, try the murta pisco sour. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available, at about 20,000 CLP per person. Some dishes are occasionally unavailable.
Opening hours
Mainly lunch, from about 13:00; Sun 13:00-16:00 (subject to the restaurant's posted hours)
