The cuisine at Refugia Chiloé is prepared by the Chef and team of culinary artists. They draw on local produce picked from the hotel's gardens, meats of all types delivered from the nearby free-range animal farms, fish caught daily from the sea, or shellfish and sea urchins harvested from the bay and shore.
