Ingredient appreciation — what makes Pebre special

What sets Pebre apart is the handling of merkén smoked chilli. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the fresh from the sea result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Chilean cuisine reflects the extraordinary length of the country with Pacific seafood, Andean ingredients, and Patagonian lamb all defining different regions. The a Valparaíso seafood market atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had terremoto cocktail as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Pebre is the place to start.
