El Nuevo Arriero

$$$$ Fodor's choice

Popular with locals, this unassuming restaurant may have simple decor, but the food is excellent. The serving staff bring out endless plates of steaming seafood and barbecue delights. The fettuccini a la mancha is as good as anything you'd get in Italy (perhaps a little spicer though!). Prices are a little steep but fair for Antofagasta, which is a pricey town.

Amares Costafusion

$$$
This trendy bistro is a top spot for fusion food that mixes local seafood with different international cuisines. Try the crab lasagna, grilled octopus, Asian-style tuna, or tempura shrimp. Ceviche is also a staple of the menu, and the young owners always recommend you start your meal with a classic pisco sour.

Don Pollo

This rotisserie restaurant prepares some of the best roasted chicken in Chile—a good thing, because it's the only item on the menu. The thatched-roof terrace is a great place to kick back after a long day of sightseeing. Known for: chicken, fast service.
