Mercado Meals Santiago Food Tour with 12+ Tastings

About this activity

Santiago’s best food isn’t found in restaurants designed for visitors, it’s in its markets. But with hundreds of stalls and regional dishes, it’s not always clear where to start. This tour cuts through that, taking you directly to the vendors and plates beloved by locals.

Over four hours and 12+ tastings, you’ll move through several of the city’s most important food hubs, experiencing the full range of Chilean cooking in one place. From hearty lunchtime staples and seasonal stews to fresh seafood and classic street snacks.

The experience celebrated Chilean's obsession with almuerzo, Chile’s main meal of the day, when markets are at their busiest and most authentic. With a knowledgeable local tastemaker guide, you’ll learn what to order, how dishes are prepared, and how to navigate these spaces with confidence.

This isn’t a fine dining tour, it's an in depth look into the beloved local food of Santiago through the eyes of a tastemaker guide.
