Located at the Marriot in the upscale Vitacura neighborhood, Latin Grill’s chef Luis Cruzat cooks up gourmet seafood, steaks and lamb, accompanied by a respectable wine selection. Thanks to their impeccable service, excellent wine pairings, and creative, high-quality dishes, Latin Grill is one of Chile’s choice restaurants, a favorite among tourists and locals alike.

Meztizo

Overlooking the beautiful Bicentenario Park, the best time to visit the Mestizo is during warm spring or summer evenings. Meztizo’s high-quality menu offers a delicious blend of Chilean and Peruvian cuisine with a strong focus on fish dishes.

Peumayen Ancestral Food

Salon 2

Decolonize your palate with a trip to Peumayen Ancestral Food. This elegant, high-end restaurant serves “ancestral food,” or dishes originating from Chile’s indigenous peoples. There are few restaurants that rival Peumayen Ancestral Food’s true originality and outstanding quality.

Osaka

Located in Santiago’s W Hotel, Osaka serves outstanding Asian-Peruvian fusion dishes, including a variety of innovative sushi rolls like the “Ceviche Roll.” Besides serving the best sushi in Santiago, something can be said for Osaka’s elegant and modern ambiance.

Restaurant La Concepcion

The spectacular view from this restaurant isn’t the only thing that makes Restaurant La Concepcion a fantastic dining experience. After walking through its blue doors on Cerro Concepcion, an array of high-end Italian, Mediterranean, Latin and European dishes are just an order away.

Aquí Está Coco

Aquí Está Coco serves up a multitude of spectacular Chilean seafood dishes, from sea bass to king crab to ceviche. Besides offering the best seafood menu in Santiago, Aquí Está Coco’s chic space and imaginative décor give the experience a little something extra. Eating here is an unmissable experience for any lover of great seafood.

Restaurant Alegre

The sophisticated Restaurant Alegre is the perfect place in Valparaíso for contemporary Chilean and international gourmet cuisine. Located in the gorgeous Palacio Astoreca Hotel, Restaurant Alegre offers fine dining in a spare and elegant space on the touristy hill, Cerro Alegre.

El Austriaco

Don’t let the somewhat humble exterior fool you, El Austriaco serves up authentic Austrian fare that will knock your socks off. The owners have been perfecting their recipes since 1986 when the restaurant was located on Llanquihue Lake in southern Chile. Since then, El Austriaco has relocated to Viña del Mar where it remains one of the country’s best restaurants.
