Dining at Portillo is nearly as important as the skiing. Our master chef Rafael Figueroa creates wonderful, hearty and healthy meals using Chile's excellent fish, seafood, fruits, vegetables and wines, as well as Argentina's exquisite beef and lamb. Vegetarian alternatives are excellent and always available. Of course all of this is always accompanied by an impressive wine list.
At Portillo we serve four meals a day, including high tea at 5:00pm. Dinner is served in two seatings: 8:30pm and 9:45pm.
THE MAIN DINING ROOM
The main dining room is a special place . Giant picture windows lend a magnificent view of the lake, and the handsome leather-paneled walls are 50 years old. Our maitre D', Juan Beiza, assigns guests a table their first evening, which they dine at throughout the week. Many guests invite other guests to join them for dinner and good conversation. Breakfast is served from 8am to 10am, lunch from 12:30pm to 2:30pm. Because dinner is served late in Chile, we served tea from 5pm to 6pm. Our North American guests who are accustomed to dining earlier should take advantage of eating something during this hour and then dine later at 8:30pm (popular with families) or 9:45pm (mostly adults).
At Portillo, guests usually wear skiwear at breakfast and lunch, but dress nicely for dinner. Jackets and ties are not required and clean jeans are fine, but South Americans tend to dress more formally, so nice, casual fashion is a good bet. Just ask us if you have any questions.
TÍO BOB'S RESTAURANT
This slopeside restaurant offers stunning views of Lake Inca and the Andes that surround it. For lunch Tío Bob's offers barbecued meats and fish, and a delicious variety of salads. This restaurant is open from 11am to 3pm. Guests who lodge for a full Saturday-to-Saturday ski week at the Hotel Portillo receive one free lunch at Tío Bob's; we’ll deliver the invitation to your room. We sometimes organize special dinners at Tío Bob’s on Friday nights. Tío Bob's can also be rented to host a private nighttime party where guests ride up the chairlift to get there and to come back down. It makes for a truly unforgettable evening.
Note: On Thursdays we invite our guests who do not wish to are cannot ski down the Plateau run, to ride the chairlift to Tío Bob's without skis (1:00 pm to 3:00 pm).
THE BAR
The bar is one of the most popular attractions at Portillo due to its charming atmosphere, with leather-padded chairs and a giant stone fireplace. A bar snack menu is available, including delicious fondue and sushi. Every evening, our guest band plays live music, and guests often convert the bar into a dance floor! The bar can also be rented for private parties.

PRIVATE PARTIES & SPECIAL EVENTS
Groups love to book private parties in one of our spaces, such as cocktails and fondue in the bar, a bash at the La Posada or a party in the disco. Even parties of two can plan something special, such as a romantic dinner at Tío Bob’s. Whichever event suits you or your group best, our staff is ready to organize it at a moment’s notice. If you have any questions about organizing a special event, feel free to contact our Director of Food & Beverage, Ana Montes, at:
