Was one of the best pastle de choclo i have ever eaten on their rooftop bar/restaurant. It was really cosy and nice looking.

Great spot we stumbled upon visiting Santiago’s downtown area. This small, family run restaurant is welcoming and makes you feel at home. Restaurant has been open for 70 years. Last 30 years at this same location. Food was great! Ambiance and service very good as well. Drinks are some of the best I’ve had. Their Pisco Sours are a must. Looking forward to going back before returning home.

This place you definitely won't find by accident and that made the experience actually interesting. The atmosphere and interior is really cool and you won't find any tourists. However, food was not really good. Maybe I made a poor choice of ordering. I had chicken with cognac and fries, but basically the cold chicken was just warmed up in a thin sauce, and inside it was still cold. Fries were normal, not really special. However, staff was friendly.

Beautiful cave in nice scenery not much people (if you lucky in India) so you can have time to meditate by yourself ;)

Lovely food, great welcoming staff. A true hidden treasure - full of locals which is always a good sign. Good 'typical' food - Seafood and steaks simply great. Plus a good value lunch menu for those on a budget.
