El Patio de mi casa Restaurant

One of the places that you can not miss in Puerto Varas is this tiny restaurant, but with an excellent cuisine.

The history is very peculiar, Claudio, the owner, used to sale seafood in the streets, then, started to prepare sealed meals for some companies around his house, meals which himself delivered. One good day his brother said to him,—- we should open a restaurant!!! —- Because this situation of delivering meals is going to “kill “us, why don’t we open a place and “force” our customers to come to us, instead of being delivering every meal ourselves.

Money was, of course, the main issue, but they could figure it out, and suddenly, they were constructing the restaurant at the same time they were repairing their house. Where? You might be asking. No Money for renting a place in downtown Puerto Varas, no money to buy another property—-then the answer is more than obvious, why don’t we open the doors of our own house?— Could be—- Why don’t we take advantage of the space in our house backyard? — That sounds great—- But, how the customers are going to see us, here?—Our customers will follow our food said Claudio.

That was exactly what happened, many people, know them already and follow their food, because is a balance of excellent quality with excellent value. For instance, for lunch this restaurant offers set menus, for around 5 dollars, so if your budget is not generous but you still want a treat, it is an excellent choice, they are open for dinner as well;  but with  ”a la carte” menu . Come to the “Backyard of my house “(El patio de mi Casa) Restaurant, actually, is still located in Claudio’s house backyard, which gives this restaurant a cosy environment in a very historical area of Puerto Varas.

Happy Hour bar in Puerto Varas

Last night we went to taste a new place for “happy hour”…our curiosity took us to the recently inaugurated “Cumbres Patagonicas Hotel” in Puerto Varas, we are not the kind of people who likes hotels for this kind of distraction , even though, we decided to give it a try.

First of all, the view is simply impressive, facing the biggest lake in Chile “Llanquihue Lake” gives the Aracauria Bar a special touch, we tasted the “Cumbre Sour “which is a pisco sour but with honey produced near the ulmo trees which has a unique taste, plus a cinnamon touch and due to we are not the kind of people who drinks without a snack, we asked for a “Tapa Regional” with smoked cheeses, hams, local shellfish and comfits.

Let me tell you everything was simply great , the best of all the price was pretty much the average price of most of the bars even cheaper in Puerto Varas , for $ 3.750 Chilean Pesos ( around 7 dollars)  you can have two drinks included in the “Happy Hour” Menu such as:

Cumbres Sour

Amaretto Sour

Whisky Sour

Kir Royal

Mimosa

Caipirinha

Pisco Vodka

Rum

And one kind of beer “Cristal”

If you include a snack, for example, the “Tapa Regional” $3.600 Chilean Pesos, you can enjoy an excellent moment for around 20 dollars. Of course, dollars and credit cards are accepted. Happy Hour special prices are from Monday to Sunday  from 5:00pm to 09:00 pm

The address is: Imperial 0561, Puerto Varas
