Italian-Chilean cooking in Patagonian style

Marcia Maldonado knows about Patagonian hospitality, because she lives in Puerto Natales sharing her love for gastronomy. She joined La Mesita 19 years ago as a master chef, and today she is the restaurant's head chef.


Marcia leads a team that brings to life recipes that fuse Chilean and Italian cuisine made with local products, such as handmade pizzas prepared by a ‘pizzaiolo’, which are baked in the wood-fired oven in the centre of the restaurant. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are available. Everyone eats family style at the long tables.
