Cordillera del Paine’s cuisine celebrates Patagonian flavors, featuring roasted lamb (cordero al palo), fresh trout, king crab, and hearty stews. Local hotels such as Hotel Las Torres, Explora Patagonia, and Tierra Patagonia offer upscale, romantic dining with stunning views, gourmet Chilean wines, and creative tasting menus.
Private lodge experiences often include fine dining options with customized menus for dietary needs. Reservations are recommended, as public eateries are limited within the park. Vegetarians and those with allergies should notify accommodations in advance due to the remote location and seasonal supply constraints.
Tipping is customary at around 10%, usually added to the bill in hotels and restaurants. Enhance your evenings with cocktails or locally inspired drinks near a fireside lounge after a day of exploring the park.
