El Chiringuito.

Perched on a rocky bluff overlooking a small, active cove, El Chiringuito offers a front-row seat to the daily rhythms of the Pacific. The restaurant shares a wall with a local seafood market, ensuring a direct line from the fishermen’s boats to the kitchen. While the menu leans into Chilean classics, it is distinguished by a particular focus on shellfish, serving signature dishes like machas al pil pil and rich king crab casseroles that change with the day's catch. Inside, the space feels more like an extension of the coastline than a formal dining room; the floor is composed of crushed seashells and the hand-carved chairs are shaped like sea creatures. It is an unpretentious, lively outpost that manages to feel authentic and grounded, even as the surrounding area grows increasingly modern. Keep an eye on the water for passing sea otters between courses.
