Fuente Alemana
Santiago, Chile
The read// why locals go
Fuente Alemana has been building sandwiches on the Alameda since 1955, and in Santiago that makes it less a restaurant than a fixed point. The lomito and the churrasco are the reasons — pork or beef piled with avocado, tomato and mayonnaise, assembled at speed behind a counter by people who have done it thousands of times. Around 3,500 CLP, eaten standing or perched, often between other things. Chilean sandwich culture is a genuine cuisine rather than a snack tradition, and this is where the city sends anyone who needs convincing of it. Central, cheap, and busy from the moment it opens.
