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.

Somos brasileiros, passamos 5 dias em Puerto Varas e tivemos a oportunidade de conhecer varios restaurantes como Buenas Brasas,Olla, etc mas de todos o melhor foi sem dúvida El Patio de Micasa. Acolhedor, bem decorado, ótimo preço e comida excelente. Recomendamos a todos. Considerar que o dono (Cláudio) é atecioso e super simpático. Parabéns!
I was on vacation in Pto Varas, may 2009 and I gotta say, that El Patio De Mi Casa, is one of the best restaurants in the beautiful Pto Varas, very cozy place, it makes you feel like family, the “a la carte dinner menu” allowed me to have the one of the best culinary experiences, the service was great, and the quality of the food was nothing less than a five star quality restaurant, without the 5 star price tag.. I’ll highly recomended =)
