Santolla is widely celebrated in Puerto Natales for its exceptional seafood, with many guests claiming it serves the best king crab and scallops in the area. The restaurant's unique setting inside a shipping container provides a cozy and memorable ambiance, though its small size means it reaches capacity almost immediately after opening.
