Co-owned by the authors of an award-winning cookbook about Chiloé cuisine, Travesia is a wonderful way to experience Chiloé dishes that are prepared with inventive, modern twists by a young team of chefs. A favorite is the out-of-this-world chancho ahumado (smoked pork), which is served with a delightful sauce made of local murta berries together with potatoes (a star ingredient here---Chiloé hosts 90% of the world's known potato varieties).
A blend of traditional Chiloé and international cuisine, this restaurant serves a tasty take on local food, such as the unique chochoca rellena, which is shellfish in a sort of potato-bread wrapping. The owner and chef is from Chiloé and studied and worked for several years at restaurants in Germany. Located just outside of Castro on the way to the Rilan Peninsula and Dalcahue, it has become a must-stop for locals and visitors alike.
