Super cool place serving hearty traditional food in a genuine, effortless, vibey bar in Valparaiso. We were treated to an unforgettable blend of traditional Chilean cuisine and exceptional drinks. Hearty, authentic Chilean dishes that complement the bar’s vibrant atmosphere perfectly. Amazing pisco sours and a great selection of wine, all crafted with care and passion. The sangria also looks really good! The atmosphere is cozy yet lively, with a warm ambiance that invites you to linger. Super reasonable prices and great quality and quantity of food and drinks, making it a must-visit spot a must-visit for anyone seeking a genuine ‘Valpo’ dining experience in Valparaiso.

A lovely place to try some of the staples in Chilean foods - the chorillana (chips, eggs, onions and a choice of different meats from beef to horse). The vibe is very hippie, loads of stickers on the walls and matching well what Valparaiso is like. Very affordable prices too.

What an atmospheric place! I had just arrived in the city and climbed down 12 flights of stairs on the chance of the reviews. I had my first chorrillano, the seafood one. It was excellent. The server was very friendly even though I have Yorkshire accented Spanish. The lemonade was first class too.

Very friendly and warm service. Chorillana tasted amazing. They managed to make this simple dish absolutely delicious. Rustic/dive bar atmosphere with a lot of charm.

This tiny restaurant is where you want to eat in Valparaiso. One of those places that you’d like to keep only for yourself and eventually you end up writing a review about! The atmosphere is super, easygoing. The ladies running the restaurant are smiling, warm. The cerveca de la casa is tasty, fruity and rich in flavor.
