La Jardinera

Puerto Varas


La Jardinera's eclectic menu is overseen by a friendly Chilean couple and was developed after a five-year London culinary stint. But the restaurant's evolution has started to favor homegrown takes rather than overseas recipes, now including a vibrant local fusion: crab croquettes with merkén mayo, pistachio-crusted salmon, lamb confit.

It's a great spot touting innovative recipes, fine views and more sophisticated service than most. Reserve ahead in summer.
