21. Club Alemán
$$$$ | |One of the German clubs that dot the Lake District, Alemán serves up ample portions alongside prompt service. This is the perfect spot to try Germanic pork and sauerkraut dishes. Open every day, most regulars opt for one of their four or five rotating prix-fixe menus often featuring steak and salmon with soup, salad, and dessert. Don't forget the küchen cake.

22. Confitería Central
$$ | |Coffee and homemade pastries are the specialties of this café, but old-school (and big) sandwiches, excellent hot dogs, ice cream, and other simple dishes are also available. A classic stop in Temuco since the 1940s, it seems the whole town stops by for a quick lunch during the week, among the clattering of dishes and the army of waitstaff maneuvering their way around the tables.

25. El Patio de Mi Casa
$$$ | |A small wooden sign on the front lawn of a local home invites visitors to the residents' very own terrace and restaurant. Past the modest exterior a world of authentic Chilean culinary delights awaits. A favorite dish is the grilled hake, called merluza in Spanish, which is prepared with a basil sauce and accompanied by a pastel de choclo, a Chilean corn dish. Save room for desserts such as hot brownies with ice cream.

26. Gallardia
$$ | |This place seeks mastery over the art of sandwich-making. Not to be missed is the Abuela Lucy, a juicy hamburger with onions and cilantro, a thick layer of soft cheese, roasted peppers, a grilled egg, and French fries. Another highlight is the El Beto, a tender steak sandwich with blue cheese and mushrooms sautéed in beer. To top it off, there are 70 different beers on tap. A fun time to come is when the soccer matches play on their big-screen TV.

29. La Maga
$$$$ | |Argentina claims to prepare the best parrillada, or grilled beef, but here's evidence that Uruguayans are no second best. Watch the beef cuts turn slowly over the wood fire at the entrance. Wood, rather than charcoal, is the key, says the owner, Emiliano Villanil, a transplant from Punta del Este. The product is a wonderfully smoked, natural taste, accented with a hint of spice in the mild chimichurri (a tangy steak sauce), and portions are big.
Gerónimo de Alderete 276, Pucón, Araucanía, 4920000, Chile45-244–4277Known For
- Traditional parrillada with a Uruguayan flair
- Great chimichurri sauce

30. La Marca
$$$$ | |For quality steaks, this is the top spot in town. Start it all off with a pisco sour and sopaipillas, a sort of sweet fried bread, before moving on to the bife chorizo or lomo vetado—both are tasty cuts of meat. They are now located in a spiffy, bigger space with some outdoor seating. Their service is attentive and the portions just right. The menu has a variety of other dishes, but the main draw is the parrilla-style grilled meats.

The restaurant, located just past Puerto Chico at the beginning of the Camino Ensenada road, is big, with two dining rooms. Still, on weekends, it's almost always full during peak hours, so reserve a table ahead of time.

$$$$ | |Popular with wealthy professionals, this upscale modern steak house is known for its huge, delicious cuts of beef, abundant salads, and the best papas fritas (French fries) in Temuco. Although most Chilean restaurants douse any kind of meat with a creamy sauce, this is one of the few exceptions; the entrées are served without anything but the simplest of seasonings.
