While Chile’s cuisine is not internationally renowned, the proliferation of cheap and fresh fruits, vegetables, and seafood at Chile’s many open-air markets will keep your interest piqued and your wallet full. Fill up on the catch of the day in the open-air fresh fish market, La Recova, in La Serena, or head south to Dalcahue for decadently delicious oysters. Lobsters cost next to nothing and taste even better among the hustle and bustle of the chaotic caleta in Coquimbo. Indulge in mackerel at every restaurant in Mejillones, spiced up with dreamy sauces. Gorging on a hearty paila marina for a pittance in Antofagasta is a real treat as well. However, if you are looking for an especially hearty and satisfying banquet, head east over the peaks of the Andes to Mendoza, Argentina, and dine on some of the finest cuisine in South America.
