  • 1. Mercato

    $$$$

    With its extensive Italian menu and lively atmosphere, this is a place not to be missed when in Temuco. The pizza and pasta are spectacular, but do try their desserts as well (churro with manjar and nutella is heavenly). Reserve ahead on weekends to beat the crowds as their excellent food has locals coming back for more repeatedly.

  • 2. Confitería Central

    $$ | Coffee

    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.

  • 3. Imperio Del Inca

    $$$$

    Serving excellent Peruvian food, this restaurant founded by the Valerio family has become so popular that they've opened five locations in Temuco. Try the pisco sour with a ceviche or lomo saltado como Dios manda ("stir-fried beef as God intended").

  • 4. La Pampa

    $$$$

    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.

The kitchen puts its own tasty spin on traditional Chilean dishes like guatitas a la española, a stew of cow’s stomach, bacon, sausage, and tomato cooked in wine. The interior is simple, clean, and basic; it's all about the food here.

  • 7. Mercado Municipal

    $
    Closed Permanently

    In the central market around the produce stalls are small stands offering such typical Chilean meals as cazuela and pastel de choclo. Many have actually taken on the trappings of sit-down restaurants, and a few even have air-conditioning. The complex closes at 8 in summer and 6 the rest of the year, so late-night dining is not an option.
