The gastronomy of Chili It is one of the most important in South America, due to the wide variety of flavors, dishes and recipes that we can find; and that are typical of each city or province. It is a product between the English tradition and the Spanish contribution, so there is a unique combination of flavors. A few weeks ago, a renowned tourism organization determined which is the best city in our country to eat in and it is neither Valparaíso nor Santiago.
Both Santiago and Valparaíso are characterized by being an attraction for tourists, not only for their landscape, but also for their gastronomy and we can find award-winning restaurants that offer unique and typical dishes from each place. However, they are not the best cities to eat, and this is not something we say as a media, but rather it is stated by a prominent tourism organization.
The city in Chile that has the best food and it is not Valparaíso or Santiago
The World Gastronomic Tourism Association, which is the main gastronomy authority in the world, created a ranking of the best places to eat in various countries, and there is a city of Chili that was the chosen one that is neither Valparaíso nor Santiago. On November 1, Puerto Natales, belonging to the Patagonia Region, was chosen as the Culinary Capital.
What characterizes Puerto Natales is that it has a wide variety of gastronomic options, among which are bars, restaurants and shops that receive thousands of tourists per year and who are delighted by the dishes. Among the typical preparations of this citythere are those that are made with fresh local products such as guanaco, Patagonian lamb, fish, crabs and shellfish.
On the other hand, this culinary organization granted the city of Puerto Natales a recognition for having high quality standards in the gastronomic offer and that for 20 years, this iconic place in Patagonia has been strengthened in the field. So now you know, if you want to eat well, you should not go to Valparaíso or Santiago.
