Cocineria Tradiciones Morelia

Top choice in Chiloé


This cozy, traditional, fireplace-heated restaurant on Lago Cucao beckons hungry adventurers with an artsy, hardwood-heavy dining room gussied up with wool-draped benches and local textiles.

The daily-changing menu focuses on local produce: think strawberry juice with nalca (giant Chilean rhubarb), sea kelp küchen, cazuela with macha (clams) and luche (red algae) smoked pork stew.
