The Merlin Restaurant [**] is a German family
owned establishment that is a must stop for anyone on a
culinary safari of Chile.
The town of
Puerto Varas was started by German settlers way back. The Merlin
Restaurant family arrived more recently. There is more on the
family's history in the many newspaper and magazine story clippings on
display in the downstairs hallway.
In addition to a very fine restaurant this is also a small and comfortable
hotel [$]. We advise booking a night here and following the Perfect
Itinerary on the right.
At the Merlin you pick your wine by pointing
to the bottles on display in one of the dining rooms.
