Chilean Food is Crazy Good. Street Food feast! Completo, Empanada de pino, Mote con huesillo + more
We spent one of our days in Santiago exploring the city to find out what Chilean foods are all about, and to find the best types of foods and street food in Santiago, Chile.
To start things off we headed to Central Market (Mercado Central de Santiago) where we came across a place called Emporio Zunino which is rumoured to have some of the best empanadas in Santiago. The line up was long but quick and we bought an empanada de queso (cheese) and empanada de pino (with meat).
Next up we headed out on a hunt for a cookie we’d heard a lot about but at first we had a difficult time finding one. Finally we found cookie, called alfajores, which is filled with dolce de leche- it was a bit different than we expected as it also had chocolate on top.
After that we again found something we’d been having a hard time finding, a drink called mote con huesillo. It’s a peach drink served with a dried peach that has been cooked in sugar with husked wheat at the bottom. Definitely the strangest thing we tried all day.
Next on our list was a hot dog, referred to as a completo. On the hot dog you’ll find avocado, tomatoes and mayonnaise.
Lastly we made our way to a rooftop bar (at the Singular Hotel) with incredible views, where we wanted to try a Chilean Pisco Sour. We’d had one previously in Lima.
ABOUT CHILEAN FOOD
Chilean gastronomy stems mainly from the combination of traditional Spanish cuisine, Chilean Indigenous Mapuche culture and local ingredients, with later important influences from other European cuisines, particularly from Germany, Italy and France. The food tradition and recipes in Chile are notable for the variety of flavours and ingredients, with the country’s diverse geography and climate hosting a wide range of agricultural produce, fruits and vegetables. The long coastline and the peoples' relationship with the Pacific Ocean add an immense array of seafood products to Chilean cuisine, with the country's waters home to unique species of fish, molluscs, crustaceans and algae, thanks to the oxygen-rich water carried in by the Humboldt Current. Chile is also one of the world’s largest producers of wine and many Chilean recipes are enhanced and accompanied by local wines.

The BEST Traditional Chilean Food in Santiago, Chile at Peumayen Restaurant
One of our biggest passions while traveling is trying local food! This is hard in Chile, where our inquiries about the best local foods were often met with “wouldn’t you prefer sushi?” or “maybe try going to Peru, they have amazing food there.”
Luckily, there’s an incredible restaurant that lets visitors try traditional Chilean food and local Chilean ingredients! Peumayen is deeply rooted in indigenous Chilean traditions, while still being willing to play, experiment, and be creative. We LOVE this restaurant!
If you’re interested in trying other traditional Chilean foods, we really recommend finding sopaipillas (fried flatbread traditionally made with pumpkin, but now sometimes made with orange dye instead) and mote con huesillos (a popular drink containing soaked wheat and a whole peach). There aren’t many Chilean street foods, at least not compared to places like Thailand and India, but you can find both sopaipillas and mote con huesillos sold by street vendors!
Check out Peumayen here:
Let us know in the comments if you want to see a list of all the bites we tried at Peumayen! We also always want to hear about your suggestions for local foods!

The BEST of SANTIAGO ???????? Real Neighborhoods, Street Art, Parks & Food. Things to do in the city.
In this week’s video we pick up again in Santiago, Chile. This time around we decided to explore some of the trendier neighbourhoods of Santiago to find some fun things to in Santiago.
We start things off in the neighbourhood of Barrio Yungay. Yungay feels like a relatively quiet neighbourhood in Santiago full of amazing street art. If you’re a fan of street art and graffiti this is a must visit while in Santiago. We didn’t encounter too many other tourists and seemed to be mainly locals and families around. We visited a couple of parks including the Plaza Yungay as well as Parque Quinta Normal which happens to be one of the oldest parks in the city and contains a lake with old retro paddle boats. After exploring the park we found a little food truck park (Plaza de Bolsillo) where we had some chicken arepas.
After this we made our way to another part of the city called Lastarria. Lastarria is definitely more touristy but is also quite bohemian and trendy. We first came across a beautiful park called Santa Lucia Park that also had some beautiful fountains. Trevor needed a hair cut and we found a barber shop and craft beer called Barra Experimental. After this we walked around the Lastarria area where we came across street performers and vendors.

Tour Santiago, Chile Like a Local: Visit a Popular Restaurant and Bar
The Santiago Like a Local tour included a yummy lunch at Galeon Restaurant in Mercado Central. A delicious cerviche (fish and mussels), a flat and mild fish called Reineta - huge dish of French fries/chips, vegetable, salad, fruit cocktail for dessert and a Pisco Sour, considered Chile's national drink.
If that wasn't enough, a visit to fun La Piejera Bar where a drink called Earthquake was invented. An Earthquake is one of those sweet, easy to drink, drinks similar to a Hurricane at Pat O'Briens in New Orleans. Don't ask how sick I got guzzling two of those. Both places are touristy, both places are enjoyable!
Incredible Wine Tour in Chile ???? This is Maipo Valley ???????? The Best Wine Tour in Chile.
An absolute must do thing while in Santiago, Chile is go on a wine tour! Just outside of Santiago, you’ll find the Maipo Valley, which is one the major wine producing regions of Chile.
A big thanks to Turistik ( for sending us on a wine tour to Santa Rita Winery that included bike riding through the vineyards, and a wine tasting.

This is Santiago, Chile ???????? Safe? Beautiful? Must Visit? What to do in the city. Travel Guide
We spent a full day checking out some of major sights to try to find the best things to in Santiago de Chile.
We started out the day with a run and headed to the beautiful Parque Bicentario where we saw some beautiful views of the city and mountains. We ran around the park for awhile to see what it had to offer and came across some flamingos.
We picked up the video later in the day in the centre of town in the Plaza de Armas, which is the main square in Santiago. From here we picked up our Hop on Hop off tickets from Turistik Chile and immediate hopped on a bus!
To book your Santiago Hop on Hop off ticket visit here (we had the “plus” ticket):
The Hop on Hop off bus took us throughout a large part of the city where we got to see many of the important sites and also listen to an audio guide.
We got off at the tallest building in Latin America called the Costanera Centre (Gran Torre). Here we bought tickets to the observation deck called Sky Costanera. The observatory is this highest in Latin America and offers amazing views of the city and Andes Mountains.
After this we walked to the cable car to make our way up Cerro San Cristobal, a park on a hill in the middle of the city. The tickets to the cable car were included in our Hop on Hop off ticket and also included the funicular down the hill.
Up at the top of Cerro San Cristobal you’ll find beautiful views of the city. You’ll also find a church as well as a statue of the Virgin Mary which you can see from the ground in most of the city.

Visiting Santiago Chile During Protests | Ep. 21
What was supposed to be a quick stop over from Lima to the beginning of our journey south to Patagonia turned into a couple eventful/uneventful days being amidst political protests in Chile. We definitely did not get the common view of Santiago but we did have a picnic at a vineyard!

Traveling is embedded into our relationship as we met on a Spring Break cruise in 2016. Since then, we haven't stopped traveling together in the United States and abroad. We left New York in July 2019 to travel the world and we took work with us, including starting a travel vlog. We have made it our mission to slow travel for 16 months throughout South America and Asia and to create travel videos along the way.
Traveling Atlas was created to capture our moments of taking risk, building connections, and seeing the world. We will be staying in each country we visit for about a month in order to experience cultures to our maximum capacity and to inspire others that they can do the same. We are Brandon and Erin, follow the journey and stay tuned.

“Traveler’s Bean Dip” is what I called our dinner.
1 can of black beans
1 tomato
1 clove of garlic
However much and whatever kind of cheese you’d like
A ton of cilantro because it’s delicious
I drained the beans, chopped the veggies, and mushed it all together in a pan. Topped it off with more cilantro (duh) and avocado. Nate and I dipped Tostitos right in the pan!

20 Things to do in Santiago, Chile City Guide | Top Attractions Travel Guide Travel Video Transcript:
Santa Lucia is an urban park smack dab in the middle of Santiago and it’s a popular hangout in the afternoons and weekends. The hike is a pleasant one with lots to see, including fountains, spiralling staircases, defensive forts, sprawling gardens, and cool lookout points.
Lastarria is a neighbourhood located just east of Santa Lucia hill and it was once the bohemian hub of the city.Today it is very popular with tourists as it offers an outdoors flea market, an international mix of cafes and restaurants, & live music.
For panoramic views of the city, ride the funicular to the top of San Cristobal Hill.
Plaza de Armas is the heart of Santiago’s historic centre. There are lots of benches under the cover of palm trees, and the place is buzzing with activity. The Metropolitan Cathedral is located in the historic centre of Santiago overlooking the square. The construction you see today dates back to the year 1800, since previous cathedrals were destroyed in earthquakes.
Santiago’s Central Market is the place to come for the freshest food. You'll find rows of restaurants serving up everything from grilled fish to ceviche. We really like our ceviche, so we found a place serving exactly that.
Parque Forestal is a park that forms a long stretch of greenery along the Mapocho River. It’s a nice green escape in the middle of the city.
Palacio de la Moneda is the seat of the President of the Republic of Chile. This is where you can come to watch the changing of the guard. Just underneath Palacio de La Moneda, you’ll find Centro Cultural Palacio La Moneda, which is a cultural centre featuring exhibitions, design shops, and a small selection of cafes.
Bellavista is a cultural hub with lots of theatres, cinemas, cafes, museums, and restaurants. The most famed home in the neighbourhood is La Chascona, the home of the famed Chilean poet Pablo Neruda.
And that's a wrap for the Chilean capital! We hope you enjoyed this Santiago travel guide and that it gave you a few ideas of things to do, places to visit, and Chilean dishes to try in the city.

Travel Santiago, Chile - Mercado Central (Seafood Restaurant)
See where the locals go for fresh seafood.
Right now we are at Mercado Central, or Central Market. Which is the best place to get seafood. We are only 3 blocks away from Plaza De Armas in the heart of downtown. Look at the fancy iron work. This building is over 100 years old. But the seafood, no more than a day. Chile is famous for its seafood and there is much more than Chilian sea bass.
See that big fish? That's a Chilian sea bass and the fish is actually coming out of his mouth. Here we have giant squid. Or in Spanish Jibia. You can find machas also. Shell fish. You do not believe it is fresh? Look it still has its last dinner in its mouth. What we have here is Picalocos. It is a type of shell fish and it is still alive. You can find it in the Finda Marina which is a Chlian type of soup, that has all the seafood you could imagine.
Here we have king crab or in Spanish, centoya. Very expensive and hard to find. This is adjeso. You can find this prepared here in Chile with lemon, onion and some herbs or they can make a souffle out of it. When they come to the market they are still alive and they have these interesting spines on them. This is what we call locos. You can find it here at the market. Usually it is supposed to be boiled with some mayonnaise. And it is delicious. Here we have beute, it is really high on iodine and it is a vitamin rush. On the sides of the market, next to the seafood stands, you can find some cheaper restaurants.
Be warned, tons of waiters and salesmen will try get you too eat in their restaurants. Just say, No gratias. Fish is not the only thing they sell here. You can also find vegetables, meat and natural herbs. The local tradition is to come here after a party. There is nothing like raw seafood to restore your energy after a night of partying. I am Helia Goodman, showing you Santiago.
Chorrillana: Typical Chilean Snack in Santiago, Chile
One of the classic Chilean snack food dishes worth trying when visiting Santiago is something called Chorrillana. This dish, which is worth sharing with a friend of two, is basically a mountain of french fries with sliced beef, fried egg and fried onion on top. We've now had it enough times to realize no two restaurants make it the same. We've seen fried egg versus scrambled egg, tenderloin versus sliced sausage and several different ways of preparing the onion. At the restaurant we filmed this video (Galindo) they prepared it with tenderloin, scrambled egg and caramelized onions. We've also heard of chorizo, tomatoes and even bananas being thrown on top of the fries! It's the kind of dish, much like poutine in Canada, where you can play around with it to suit any kind of taste. Regardless, be sure to bring your appetite (and possibly a friend or two) because portions tend to be huge and we struggled to finish ours. You can pick one up in a typical Chilean restaurant or Chilean pub.

Chorrillana: Typical Chilean Snack in Santiago, Chile Travel Video:
So it is time for a little afternoon snack in Santiago. Today we're at a restaurant called Galindo and we're going to be trying a dish that is called Chorrillana. And this is a lot like a Canadian poutine. Now if you're not too familiar with Canadian poutine that is kind of like when you get some French Fries with gravy and cheese and other ingredients over top. So this is going to be similar but with a Chilean twist so we're waiting for the food to arrive now.
Well as you can see the food has arrived and the funny part is this is listed as an appetizer or a starter for one person. If you have a look at that, that is enough to feed two grown people. I think Sam and I are going to struggle with this. It is our main. It is our main. Definitely.
Alright Sam, so it is time to give us the tour of the plate. Yes, so before I tuck into this tasty little treat I'm going to explain what we've got here. So we have tenderloin, onion and scrambled egg on top of those french fries. It is actually a little bit different from the first time we tried Chorrillana because they put a fried egg on top and also sausage. Yes. But this has a lot more meat. This is a very generous portion.
So dig right in hungry boy. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yeah. Enjoying that meat? Oh, yeah. Wow, those are like really tasty onions. You can tell they've been marinated in something. I think they're caramelized. Yeah, caramelized onions I think. And the french fries are a golden perfection. It is just going to be an awesome filling carb loaded delicious little treat.
So we've had this dish a few times since we've arrived in Santiago and no two Chorrillanas are the same. This one is different, I mean it has no sausage or hot dogs and that was our first experience trying Chorrillanas. And also this one has scrambled eggs instead of fried egg on top. So it is kind of nice that you can always find a bit of variety when you go to a different restaurant. And I think I am ready for my first bite. Got a little bit of everything in there.
Mmmm.
Wow. That meat is tender isn't it? It is tender. It is tenderloin, so it should be tender. It should be tender. Wow. That is nice. In a way it is kind of nice that they only have the beef and there is no sausage because like this is a really good cut of meat. It is very juicy so the flavors really come through. You don't have too many competing tastes. Yeah, you don't need a whole lot of ingredients with this dish. Not when it is done well.
Alright, but now it is time for the big question. Which do you prefer - Canadian poutine or Chilean Chorrillana?
Well, this is really good but you know what nothing compares to Canadian poutine. That is like in a league of its own. But this is really tasty. And if you want come and try it at this restaurant it is going to be just under 8000 Chilean Pesos which currently is about 10 US dollars. So it is not bad value. Bring a friend or two to help you out. That is my tip.
This is part of our Travel in Chile series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Chilean culture, Chilean arts, Chilean foods, Chilean religion, Chilean cuisine and Chilean people.
