Walk around Santiago’s best historic markets, and enjoy an exclusive gourmet lunch by Tatán, your very own private chef (and guide) for the day! 

Santiago Foodies Tour

You’ll get to explore the corridors of strange, native seafood at the art-nouveau style  Mercado Central, the fish market whose construction mimics a London-esque train station. Afterwards, we’ll guide you through the maze of stalls at La Vega Central. Here, you will be able to shop like a local, experiencing the fast-paced environments, the smells, the colours, and flavours… even the cats! Let yourself take it all in! Tatán will answer whatever questions you may have about all the local products, maybe even give you cooking ideas, and buying some fresh produce for lunch.
Afterwards, you’ll drive through some of Santiago’s main gastronomic neighbourhoods on your way to Tatán’s home. Here you will be treated to a traditional lunch prepared by him using some of the fabulous products you got to see during the morning. After a welcome cocktail, where you will enjoy the unparalleled views of Tatán’s flat, you will sit down to enjoy a 3 course meal prepared especially for you.
Afterwards, you may choose to walk back to your hotel, exploring the area or taking the Metro at the station close by, or we can drive you back to your hotel.

About your host…

A graduate of the corporate world, Cristián “Tatán” Mellado changed paths to run his own restaurant kitchen at Del Cocinero Bistro for 10+ years. During his tenure, Del Cocinero Bistro was constantly rated within Santiagos’s top 20 restaurants. In 2016, Tatán sold his restaurant to embrace the adventure of becoming a private chef. The slower pace and smaller groups allow him more space to experiment and create, constantly coming up with new and creative ways to showcase Chilean produce and cuisine, his specialty.
