We were recommended to the restaurant by our neighbor, who recently visited this town. It didn't disappoint us! An excellent French restaurant where the menu includes veggie food. It's a beautiful presentation and tastes delicious, too. One of us had stewed Guanaco which was quite tender and delicious. The wine is good too.

Was recommended to us by a local and we were really impressed. Every dish was great! We had onion soup and king crab as starter, lamb shank and see bass as main courses and the creme brulée trilogy for dessert. The two different pisco sour were delicous as well!

Seriously good food. We shared the hare terrine for starters then had lamb shank and sea bass for mains. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious. The house red was pretty decent. Special shout out to the waitress who was the model of professionalism and efficiency, dealing with a full lunchtime restaurant on her own with a minimum of fuss.

Incredible! Dining here feels like experiencing the mastery of a French chef combined with fresh Chilean ingredients. From the first bite of the bread to the last spoonful of dessert, everything not only looked amazing but tasted even better! We went for dinner and started with the “Salteado de Ostiones”, which were tender, flavorful, and perfectly paired with fresh vegetables. We also had the “Centolla al Natural”, featuring generous chunks of crab. Both dishes were beautifully prepared and elegantly plated. We paired these with a white wine (unfortunately, the name escapes us!) that turned out to be an excellent choice. For the main course, we ordered the “Merluza Austral” and the “Mero”. Both dishes were flavorful, cooked to perfection, and presented with impeccable attention to detail. To finish, we indulged in the “Trilogía de Crème Brulée” and the “Volcán de Chocolate”. Every element was clearly handcrafted by the chef with care and precision. Just perfect. Kudos to Eric (the chef)! After this dinner, we continued our journey to Torres del Paine, but we couldn’t stop raving about this restaurant to everyone we met. We’re pretty sure we convinced at least six people to dis

It’s a five out of five for both food and drinks! Everything is DELICIOUS - the two of us ordered three starters and two main courses since we wanted to try a bit of everything. Onion Soup: rich flavor, the aroma from the cheese being a little burnt was phenomenal; Grilled scallops: fresh, tender, full of flavor; king crab salad: fresh, fresh, fresh, sweet and juicy, the chef put the lemon and mayonnaise by the side so you can find your own favorite balance. Duck confit: different from other times we’ve tried the dish, this one has crispy skin and with perfect sides; conger fish: my favorite in Chile! Only downside is that it is a small restaurant with capacity for ~30ppl, come early or make a reservation!
