About El Fogon del Sur NZ

El Fogon del Sur NZ brings Chilean cooking to 16 Brougham Street in Westport, Buller, and holds a 5.0 rating from 74 Google reviews. Chilean restaurants trade in hearty, homely cooking. The empanada de pino, a pastry filled with beef, onion, hard-boiled egg and olives, is the usual test of a good kitchen, while pastel de choclo, a sweet corn pie baked over a savoury filling, and cazuela, a one-bowl stew of meat, potato and pumpkin, are the comfort mains. Meals often begin with bread and pebre, a fresh tomato-and-chilli salsa, and portions tend to be generous, made for sharing. What regulars look for is food that tastes like family cooking rather than restaurant fuss. For a taste of Chile in the heart of Westport, this Brougham Street spot is the place to find it.
