Itinerary
El Galeon Chef’s Menu
Departing from the hotel you will drive through the city and arrive at El Mercado Central, Santiago’s famous seafood market, where you will witness firsthand the natural bounty of the Chilean seas.
After a brief welcome and introduction from the assistant to the Chef of El Galeón, a restaurant located inside the Mercado Central, you will explore the market and buy many of the fresh ingredients requested by the Chef in order to prepare the day’s lunch menu.
Upon arrival to El Galeón, Chef Jimmy Valdez and his staff will invite you to be a part of the meal preparation. You will have the unique opportunity to witness Chilean cooking and try out several techniques. Afterward, of course, you will enjoy the exquisite culinary delight, which will be paired with some of Chile’s best wines.
Important Note: The Culinary Tour-El Galeón is a great way to experience firsthand an interesting part of Chilean culture. However, please keep in mind that the markets are quite crowded and, at times, hectic with lots of activity happening simultaneously. For this reason, it is very important that you remain vigilant and avoid bringing items of value (expensive cameras, watches, jewelry, etc.) which could make you a target for petty theft.
Also, please notify us in advance of any dietary restrictions.
