1 Restaurants That We Would Recommend

1.1 Los Navegantes Restauant, Piso 10, Hotel Gran Pacifico Urmeneta 719 (at Balmacela), Puerto Monto, fono: 56 65 482-100. We had fish whcih was good. The view, during the day, and the service are marvelous.

1.2 Kiel, Camino Chinquihue km 8, Puerto Montt, fono: (56-65)255-010, cell: 09 639 1226, e-mail. kiel@surnet.cl This restaurant was recommended to us as the best fish restaurant in Puerto Montt. It is outside of town, past Angelmo. We had oysters (CLP$4.200) and sea urchin CLP$5.600 (both fabulous), followed by sharing a plate of mixed vegetables CLP$1.800 (uninspired), a baked centolla pieces (CPP$8.200) okay but the crab was not sweet or particularly tasty. Finally, we ordered “a once-in-a-lifetime local dish” called curanto CP$$4.900, a kuchen CLP$1.400, and a Sauvignon Blanc CLP$4.200. It was too much food for the 2 of us but it was fun to try the different dishes. And the total was CLP$30.300 + tip.

1.3 Pasos, Av. Gal Juan si la Manfredini (esquina Liborio Guerrero s/n) in Balneario Pelluco which is a little bit outside of Puerto Montt, fono: (56-65)253-093, 252-552. The total was CLP$27.900 + tip We ordered one chupe de jabai (which is a rich crab, cream and cheese concoction baked in the oven) and one sopa de mariscos which was very good, 1 arroz, 1 crema de espinaca, 1 Errazuriz Camenere (for CLP$9.000) and 1 flan de leche. It got quite crowded on a weekday.

1.4 Arabesk (de Abudlahad Gergos), Gullermo Gallardo 488, Puerto Montt, fono: (56-65)431-650, e-mail: restoranarabesk@gmail.com The total was CLP$20.850+tip and very good and different.

2 Angelmo: an experience not to be missed

2.1 Restaurant Don Raul, 2do Piso, Loc. 6(?), Angelmo Palafitos. We bought the Pinzas de jaiba (crab claws) at the fish market and the restaurant prepared them for us.

2.2 Restaurant Alejandra, Loc.1, 2do Piso, Angelmó Palafitos. Our favorite oysters: Ostras borde negro (30 pieces) were CLP$5.000 and delicious
