Casa de Cena (Calle Almirante Simpson 20, Providencia, Santiago) – this is a family-owned bar and restaurant which is a step back in time to the old Chile (as opposed to the new-age “Sanhattan” (Santiago meets Manhattan)-type Yuppie hangout spots). Prices are reasonable (for drinks like Pisco, and home-cooked Chilean meals).
California (Las Urbinas 44/56, Providencia, Santiago) – this is a sports bar, where patrons can have a beer and watch football games (both futbol and American football), as well as other sports (like NBA basketball, NHL hockey, and Major League Baseball/MLB). On occasion, local DJs are booked to throw pop music parties. Food-wise, this bar […]
Blondie (Alameda 2879, Santiago) – this one-time movie house became a gothic 80s revival electronic dance music club. This club is large enough to accommodate large groups of 20 and 30-something years olds, who not only come here to dance to various forms of dance music (from 80s New Wave to Electro House & Trance), […]
Tiramisu (Isidora Goyenechea 3141, Santiago) – this cozy-looking restaurant serves a wide range of pizzas from pepperoni-style chorizo pies, to Argentine-style tomato sauceless fugaze pizzas. That, as well as calzones, focaccias, and piadinas. No doubt, with a name like “tiramisu”, it also carries a variety of desserts – from tiramisu to gelatos.
Tanta (Av. Kennedy 5413, Las Condes, Santiago) – considering the fact that Peru is a northern neighbor of Chile, one would expect at least some eateries from there. Of course, ceviche is a major dish here. Meals from other countries are served here as well (in a brightly-lit cafeteria-style interior).
Raúl Correa & Familia (Av. Las Condes 10480, Vitacura, Santiago) – housed in an old style Chilean house, this is a popular seafood restaurant that is spacious (two separate dining areas – one holding 120 patrons, another 100 – with an additional outdoor garden area, and three additional areas for private parties. The fine dishes […]
De la Ostia (Orrego Luco 65, Providencia, Santiago) – a pesar del nombre italiano, este lugar sirve tapas de estilo español. Los artículos que se sirven allí incluyen endivias con roquefort, pan de ajo, croquetas, tortillas de salchicha (enorme), gambas y tortillas de ajo y profiteroles para el desierto. Aparte de las tapas, los visitantes […]
Liguria (Av. Pedro de Valdivia Norte 47, Providencia, Santiago) – este es otro restaurante que sirve platos chilenos. Uno que se destaca es el Caldillo de Congrio (hecho con trozos de congrio, un pescado blanco parecido a una anguila, papas, pimientos, zanahorias, tomates, cilantro fresco picado y algo de crema). Este plato fue inmortalizado en […]
La Casa Vieja (Av. Vitacura 8411, Santiago): aquí se sirven platos locales (muchos de ellos con pescado y otros artículos de mariscos incluidos) en un ambiente informal. La plateada al horno es una de las opciones más recomendadas aquí.
KM O (Isidora Goyenechea 3000, Hotel W, Santiago): si está buscando la “multitud” de Santiago, este es sin duda el lugar para ellos. El mero hecho de que esté dentro del W Hotel lo dice todo. No es de extrañar que los platos de influencia francesa como el Boeuf Bourguignonne se sirvan aquí.
