In tiny Putamún (7km outside Castro on the way to the Peninsula de Rilán and Dalcahue) is one of Chiloé's destination restaurants. In a colorful and cozy cabin-like room, scrumptious contemporary Chilean fare – excellent ceviche, merluza (hake) with pesto and dehydrated tomato, free-range escabeche-style chicken – is served by delightful staff in a rustic-refined atmosphere.
Save room for dessert: the suspiro of murta com membrillo (Chilean guava with quince) is both unique and to die for! An Uber from Castro costs CH$4100 to CH$5300).
