Gate-side burgers and beers in SCL’s T1
Cerveceria Del Norte Burgers&Beers sits in Terminal T1 at Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, handy if you’re flying LATAM or another international carrier out of the main building. It’s post-security, so this is a sit-down option once you’re past passport control and done with the PDI slip check.
The menu leans hard into burgers and draft beer, as the name promises. Expect patties in the CLP $8,000–$12,000 range, with add-ons like bacon, fried egg, and extra cheese pushing things closer to CLP $14,000. Beer runs roughly CLP $3,000–$5,000 per glass depending on local vs import. Portions skew large by airport standards, so one burger and a side usually covers a full meal before a 4–5 hour flight.
Service time in T1 often runs 15–25 minutes from order to burger, so build at least a 45-minute buffer before boarding if you want to sit down, eat, and settle the bill. If your connection at SCL is under 60 minutes, stick to a quick drink or skip it and grab something to go from another stand near your gate instead.
Quality lines up with the 4.5 rating: meat cooked close to what you ask for, buns that survive a 10-minute sit on the table, and fries that arrive hot more often than not. It’s not cheap by Santiago street standards, but for an airside bar in T1 the value lands better than many spots closer to immigration.
Tip: if you want one last Chilean beer before your flight, ask what’s on tap from the north of Chile and pair a local pour with a basic cheeseburger; specials can be slower to come out if the kitchen is handling a rush from two or three nearby T1 departures at once.
