Everyone who’s anyone in Zapallar makes a point of lunching at El Chiringuito, where terrace tables look out over the rocks and hungry pelicans fishing for their dinner. Seafood is the obvious choice, and the menu here has everything from machas (razor clams) to pastel de centolla (king crab casserole).
