Located at Manuel Baquedano 699, 6160851 Puerto Natales, Natales, Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena, Cafe Kaiken operates as a Chilean food restaurant in Natales, Magallanes. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

In Chile lunch is the main meal of the day, roughly from 13:00 to 15:00, once (afternoon tea) comes between 17:00 and 19:00 and dinner rarely starts before 20:30, busiest at weekends. At lunchtime many places serve a menú del día (set lunch), the bill shows a suggested 10% tip that is voluntary, and in the cities almost everything can be ordered for delivery through PedidosYa, Uber Eats or Rappi. Picadas and Chilean restaurants serve cazuela (meat and vegetable broth), charquicán, pastel de choclo (corn pie) and porotos granados (bean and corn stew), the last two mostly in summer when fresh corn is in, chorrillana (a loaded plate of chips to share) and mote con huesillo as a cold drink-dessert; lunch is the main meal and many close early in the evening.

Opening hours are published for six days of the week. The most common schedule is 13:00–15:00 and 19:00–22:00. It opens for lunch and again for dinner, with the kitchen closed in between. It is closed on Tuesdays. Hours may change on public holidays, at the Fiestas Patrias in September and over Christmas and New Year. As in most holiday destinations, expect longer hours in the high season and shorter ones, or seasonal closures, the rest of the year. The listed phone number is 9 8295 2036. From abroad dial +56 followed by the number. Calling or sending a WhatsApp message ahead is the norm for bookings and appointments.

Customers rate it 4.8 out of 5 on Google across 792 reviews, placing it among the better-rated Chilean food restaurants and picadas in Natales on this site.

The food was stellar. The staff obviously take great pride in the quality of their work. The atmosphere is quiet and calm and good for conversation with companions. The ceviche was the highlight of the visit, but the house made pastas are also done extremely well. There was a wait for a table, but it is understandable why they are so busy. Would absolutely return again.

Absolutely loved this spot for a delicious dinner before an 8 day trek through Torres del Paine. The ceviche was AMAZING, so full of flavor… still dreaming about it. The restaurant is warm and cozy and we had amazing service that made us feel right at home. Will definitely be back next time we are so lucky to be in Puerto Natales!

Very nice. Tuna was cooked to perfection. Lamb very slightly overcooked but I don’t think “pink” lamb is a thing in Chile/South America. Some good local beers on menu. The apple crumble dessert was very average. Place gets busy so making a reservation might be an idea.

Two things really stood out: the service was absolutely five-star, special thanks to a young and lovely waitress who was friendly, funny, and incredibly welcoming! The food and drinks was also excellent. Having traveled extensively in northern part in Chile and experienced a wide range of quality, I can confidently say that the flavors, presentation, and overall vibe of this place make it well worth a visit. The menu offers a great combination of Italian dishes (such as pasta and risotto) with Chilean and broader South American flavors. If you’re lucky, a local singer might even give a short live performance!

Phenomenal food and service. The space is warm and inviting. Our server Katherine made us feel right at home. Local and delightful drink selection. Don’t miss out on the seafood Alfredo and the salmon ravioli. You won’t be disappointed!
