Chilean cuisine is shaped by the Pacific coast, the Andes, and rich local traditions. Must-try dishes include:
- Ceviche – fresh fish marinated in lime, coriander and chili
- Empanadas – especially empanada de pino with beef, onion, egg & olives
- Pastel de choclo – a comforting corn pie with meat and chicken
- Curanto (Chiloé Island) – a traditional earth-oven feast with seafood and meats
Drinks: Chile is famous for its Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, and of course the classic pisco sour.
