¡Para Comer! How to Order Food in Chile Like a Pro

Chilean cuisine is diverse and delicious. Start with “Me gustaría…” (I would like…). Must-try dishes include pastel de choclo (corn pie) and curanto (seafood stew). For seafood freshness, ask “¿Es del día?” (Is it today’s catch?). Don’t miss trying pisco sour, the national cocktail. “Al gusto” means “to taste” for customizable dishes. Tipping 10% is customary. “La cuenta, por favor” gets you the bill. Remember, “once” is a light evening meal, not just a number!
