Fodor's Expert Review Baltinache
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Offering "indigenous fusion" food, Baltinache is a unique option in San Pedro. Its daily menu incorporates native ingredients as well as typically Chilean preparations like curanto (seafood, meat, and veggies prepared in a hole in the ground), merkin (smoked chile peppers), and la patasca (pork stew with corn). They also offer grilled fish and meat (including guanaco and wagyu beef). This intimate restaurant has a lot of charm, with brightly colored paintings on the wall alongside children's drawings, and local music piping out of the open-plan kitchen. A couple blocks out of town on a mud road, it's not the easiest to find, but it's worth the trip.
