Frommer’s Review of Latitude 42° Restaurant
We’re always pleased when others, especially experienced and widely traveled others, find our services worthy of excellent reviews. Immediately below is a review from
Frommer’s Travel Guide for Chile and Argentina with additional commentary available within in their web site, which is linked on the first page of this web site.
Frommer’s says:
“This is the finest restaurant in Southern Chile, located right on the lake overlooking the volcano and offering an unrivaled dining experience in the Lake
region. The décor is perfect. Marble and brass chandeliers, fireplaces made of volcanic rock, orangey leather chairs, picture windows overlooking the water, a basement “cave” for wine
tasting, and a cigar bar that sells ‘Havana’s’. Service is superb. And only the highest quality produce, mostly local and organic, create the most tantalizing dishes. The
smoked salmon is smoked in-house using the finest cognac. The meat is aged on the premises so the filets served are as tender as can be. Fish is brought daily from Puerto Varas, usually sea
bass and conger eel. Specials change daily and the entire menu changes weekly. The cellar houses outstanding wines, and impressive collection from over 50 vineyards. Pastries and deserts
are also terrific, even the heavenly chestnut ice cream is homemade.”

Just a few steps down from the main entry is our bar. Passing by the mermaid in the fountain, you enter into a warm and comfortable atmosphere replete with old
world charm. It’s a great place to start and end the day. |

The fireplace is incrusted with volcanic stone from Volcano Osorno. Its warmth and rustic charm create what has become a favorite hangout
of our guests, both before and after dinner. |

This two meter long stone fly may be seen from the dining room front window of the restaurant. While we have some great fish, we have yet to have one jump from the lake and rise
to this bait. |
