La Casona

San Pedro de Atacama


A high-ceilinged dining room with dark wood paneling and an adobe fireplace in the middle, classic La Casona serves up sizzling parrilladas (mix of grilled meats) and Chilean staples such as pastel de choclo (maize casserole). There's a long list of Chilean wines and a small patio for alfresco lunches.
