In Chile lunch is the main meal of the day, roughly from 13:00 to 15:00, once (afternoon tea) comes between 17:00 and 19:00 and dinner rarely starts before 20:30, busiest at weekends. At lunchtime many places serve a menú del día (set lunch), the bill shows a suggested 10% tip that is voluntary, and in the cities almost everything can be ordered for delivery through PedidosYa, Uber Eats or Rappi. Picadas and Chilean restaurants serve cazuela (meat and vegetable broth), charquicán, pastel de choclo (corn pie) and porotos granados (bean and corn stew), the last two mostly in summer when fresh corn is in, chorrillana (a loaded plate of chips to share) and mote con huesillo as a cold drink-dessert; lunch is the main meal and many close early in the evening.

A must stop! It's in a pretty "spicy" area of town near the central market. We watched a man climb the wall of the neighboring subway station to retreive some items he had been storing there. But the history is rich, and the terremoto is strong. We weren't sure exactly what to do so we smiled a lot and nodded and took what we were served. The terremoto is a strong drink made with special wine and pineapple sorbet.

First picture is what i tought i ordered, and the second is what i got : plus is that the waiter trying to explane me how these two things are the same, and just left without being bothered 🤣 + fries were way too much salty. For the price you pay, its not worth it.

This is one of the coolest bars Ive ever been to. It’s like walking into a museum of a bygone era and I loved every minute of it. The patina and characters that both drink and eat here as well as those that work here are timeless, overly friendly and are as unique as the place itself. I reckon they specialize in drinks that are mixed with wine that they have on tap. We ordered terremoto which is a blend of cheaper wine, pineapple ice cream with a float of grenadine. If I lived in Santiago I would go here all the time. A very nice man sitting next to us sparked up a conversation and said he has beeming coming here for 62 years and the reason why he is so healthy is the wine they pour.

La Piojera – A Great Surprise! The service was fantastic – very friendly and welcoming. While the neighborhood may not seem the most inviting at first glance, the place has a unique charm both inside and outside. It’s a great experience to eat there and enjoy the local vibe. The food was delicious, portions were big and well presented. I ordered the ribs – they were excellent, and my wife had a roulade – also very tasty. Both dishes looked great and were full of flavor. The waiters were super friendly and even brought us two drinks – one non-alcoholic (Sprite with ice and juice), and one with alcohol. Both were refreshing and surprisingly tasty. It was my first time trying something like that, and I really enjoyed it. Honestly, I couldn’t find anything to complain about. Excellent service, tasty food, and a great atmosphere. Big thumbs up – definitely worth visiting!

The food was really good and the portion was generous! I enjoyed the live music. The only unsettling aspect was that homeless people would wander onto the patio or begin performances of their own, but the staff was always quick to take care of it.
