We've not eaten out in Chile as much as in other countries, choosing instead to cook for ourselves. Chile is not particularly famous for any type of cuisine but it does have great beef, good coffee shops, decent, cheap wine and plentiful mashed potato, with Peruvian and German influences in many restaurants.
There was a great fish market surrounded by fish restaurants and cafes packed with locals at lunch time. This is a hearty fish broth.
We enjoyed a delicious meal in a Peruvian restaurant in Santiago. The raw baby octupus pictured above was very tender and came with a black olive dip. The drink is a Peruvian pisco sour - pisco spirit and tart lemon with whipped egg white and a blob of angostura bitters on top.
