If it is a warm day in Iquique (and it probably will be) then consider enjoying a meal on the patio at Barsovia with a cold beer in hand. With an enormous selection of beers to choose from, deciding what to drink may be the most difficult decision to make. They also serve hearty, delicious pub food like sandwiches, burgers, and other meat dishes.

Santorini lives up to its name and serves delicious Greek food that may possibly be better than whatever restaurant on its namesake island has to offer.

Sit on the patio in the beautiful green garden and lose yourself enjoying colourful, succulent ceviche, shrimp with quinoa, refreshing salads, and special sushi rolls.

Boulevard Pizzeria, referred to simply as ‘Boulevard’, offers comfortable seating right on the main boulevard to enjoy their pizzas. Order a pizza to share or simply go at it solo but come with an appetite because the one thing Boulevard doesn’t do is go light on toppings!

With the extensive food and drink menu at this Peruvian fusion restaurant, customers can come back again and again and never get tired of La Mulata with their endless combinations of appetizers, entrees, deserts, and cocktails. Many traditional options are available, but go crazy and try some of the Mulata fusion dishes like the lomo saltado risotto, tuna tataki, or one of a kind sushi rolls and sauces.

While Otaku might mean a young person obsessed with pop culture, the food here is more traditional than the name suggests and also offers a touch of Peruvian flavor, too. Full of fish plates, salads, ceviche, traditional sushi and some rolls unique to Otaku, they offer a full menu to choose from and a great location with a view of Cavancha beach.

A place that describes itself as a pub might be selling itself a little short when it comes to the menu. They bring a sophisticated touch to a filling, delicious menu featuring pub classics. And with deep flavours in their pastas, ceviche and other fish dishes, as well as an interesting interior decor that is modern with a hint of ancient maritime, The Old Clipper might be the best pub in town.
