No longer exists. What more needs to be said? The requirement for 85 characters is stupid.

This restaurant operates under a new name, but a comparison of the menus revealed similar items. I'd still give it high ratings. The food and service were excellent, I'm my humble opinion. read more

First, this place is OPEN as of Fall 2022 (early summer in Chile) when I visited (late November 2022). I loved this place. Not only does this wine bar have the most extensive by-the-glass list I found anywhere in Santiago, they are also one of only two wine bars that keeps all of their wines in a temperature controlled area (very important--as most places don't have AC in Chile). All of the food I had was great--but my top favorites were the applewood smoked salmon, the loco plate, and the short ribs. I really enjoyed being able to try new wines from small, boutique producers in Chile (this is something you can only do in a few places in Santiago) and get recommendations from the really knowledgeable owner as well as the fact that they include a little tag on each glass so that you can keep track of what each wine in front of you is, if you do a flight of half glasses of wine like I did. The two best places for wines-by-the-glass and the best selection of wines from smaller producers are Bocanariz and Barrica94. No wine lover should leave Santiago without visiting both of these places. read more

A lovely find in the Bellavista sector of Santiago. I Ubered from my hotel to this great little place. The Uber drive dropped me off in front of an entryway and told me to walk through the doorway and there I would find my restaurant. Once you walk in, you'll find a courtyard with various restaurants and establishments. Barrica 94 is located on the right side, immediately behind the Starbucks. I got there very early - around 4pm - and the place was deserted. Too late for lunch and too early for dinner. I chose a table just outside the glass wall since the weather was temperate, and it afforded me shade. My server was very responsive. A wine flight seemed to be the way to start. I ordered the Ensamblaje Tinto which consisted of 4 full reds: 1. Capricho, Viña La Prometida, a 2016 Merlo from Caucquenes. This was a very light red, but tasty nonetheless. The server put them in order from light to fullest, so it was a good start. 2. Andes Plateau, Cota 500, a 2016 Cab Sav from Maipo. Medium body with a hint of spice. I'd definitely order this again. 3. Undurraga, T.H., a 2015 Carmenere from Chachapoal. Full body red and very delicious. 4. Vik, Mila Cala, a 2013 Cab Sav/Carmenere/Cab Franc/Merlot/Syrah. Rich red with fantastic legs. Definitely the best of the bunch! With the first two wines, I ate grilled octopus (Pulpo Grillado), which was soft and sweet on the inside with just a hint of crunch on the outside. Served with a balsamic drizzle and a herb sauce. Had I ordered it for my main meal with a few sides, I would have been very satisfied. But I needed to try at least one other thing on the menu. I ordered the Tuna steak Tartar (Tartare de Atún) which was perfectly cooked; just slightly seared on the outside. Encrusted with ground pistachios, it has a sweet flavor thanks to the passion fruit and avocado dressing. The portion was very generous. It comes with a side, and I ordered French fries which were homemade and yummy. I'm sure it's a busy place at night considering the great food and the wine selections. Be sure to include Barrica 94 on your tour of Santiago. You won't regret it! read more

Beautiful restaurant in Santiago, the service was top notch. The empeñadas and osso buco were amazing! A great end to our trip.

It is closed :-( (August 2023). Is a new restaurant se llama Los Buenos Muchachos. Came here for the Pastel de Choclo.

Este lugar no ofrecía vuelos de vino, pero el mesero me ayudó a crear uno de su selección. La comida y los servicios eran geniales. read more

Good food, good wine, and service. Barrica 94 offers multiple flights of 4 wines; each around $15. I ordered the Tinto flight and tasted 4 Chilean red wines; all were great, but my favorite was the merlot. I also had the ensalada Color which was a huge salad with grains, beet chips, avocado, chia seeds, artichoke hearts, and avocado lemon dressing. Yum! I rounded it off with a chocolate ice cream cake like dessert called semifreddo. This restaurant is a bit more expensive than my budget for the day, but I enjoyed it. read more

We honestly only came here for the wine but ended up getting some appetizers as well. They suggested we sit downstairs bc upstairs was busy with one server and we would receive quicker service downstairs but our service was still slow. We had to ask about our order a couple times. It was three of us and we each decided to get a flight of four wines, both reds and whites, and shared them. My sister ordered seafood empanadas which were deliciously saucy but a little salty. My cousin ordered French fries which are always good. I ordered fried octopus and fried shrimp. It didn't have much flavor. It tasted like they battered the coating but didn't season it. If you're looking to sample some wines come here and get a flight. read more

Another must-stop wine bar in Bellavista (a seemingly common occurrence). Tuesday night, not too packed inside, so we were able to get nice seats next to the window on the second floor. Dimly lit interior and perfect for conversation. When I see wine flights, I take it. Ordered the "Expresion de Tintos..." ($10.000pesos) - a flight of strong reds from the area with varying flavors. Thankfully we got free bread to start, which allowed some soaking time before receiving our main course. The main meal was the Salmon Cancato ($10.700pesos); a baked filet of salmon with cheese, tomato, and sausage on top. Tasted similar to a casserole with the broth on the bottom allowing for no dryness in the meat. A free side is accompanied with the dish, so ordered the Wheatberry & Mushroom risotto - sauteed well and added a different texture to the salmon. Service here started off well - later on however, they changed waiters and it took a while to get a dessert menu and the bill. If a little overwhelmed by the options in this plaza, this is the best bet from what we've seen. read more

Awesome restaurant in Patio Bellavista! We came here for lunch after wandering around Bellavista. The server spoke English pretty well and recommended me a really good carmenere wine. We ordered razor clams, shrimp pil pil, cognac chicken w/ seafood polenta and a beef dish (that I cann't remember either the English or Spanish name of) w/ mushroom risotto. The razor clams were a little bit of a disappointment. It came in 2 flavors - pesto and parmesan. The pesto flavor was very overwhelming, so I preferred the parmesan ones but not by much. The clams honestly didn't taste the freshest. However, the shrimp pil pil was very good so I would definitely recommend that as an appetizer over the razor clams. The sauce that the shrimp came in was the bombbb and full of garlic (I'm a garlic lover). The cognac chicken was delicious. The chicken was tender and the broth tasted like a saltier/stronger version of a chicken soup. I would not recommend that you drink the broth by itself because it's pretty intense, but it goes great with the chicken. The seafood polenta that we ordered to accompany the chicken dish was also very flavorful. The beef dish was average. The broth that it came in was way too salty, but the beef chunks itself were not bad. I honestly thought the mushroom risotto that I got as a side dish was better than the dish itself. read more

We came here two days in a row for some wine, tapas, and "vacation" fries! The vibes of this restaurant were amazing. It has two floors including awesome interiors with a floor to ceiling wine wall and outdoor patio on both floors overlooking the popular Bella Vista arts district. This place, as well as all the patio restaurant and shops in this district are great for people watching, drinking and wondering around! They have a pretty extensive selection of wines, flights and other alcohol besides wine. The food menu looked fabulous if we hadn't JUST eaten at Bocanariz. I would definitely come back here. I am updating my review because we came back the next day and had good. We had te tartar, papas fritas and the BEST beef, shitaki/cheese empanadas I've EVER had. This was a fabulous place to day drink/snack and people watch. We had Juliana as our waitress and she was amazing! I 100% recommend going here in Barrio BellaVista. read more

Barrica Barrica Barrica! We came to Chile for wine tasting at vineyards but who knew that you could even do them at restaurants as well! We stopped here just for lunch and ended up do a full tasting! There were a few wines I wasn't particularly fond of but that happens when you do tastings. My favorite was a Pinot Grigio, a Cabernet Sauvignon, and a Rose. The Rose was high on my list because it's spring back home. Overall it was a great restaurant. We just stopped for calamari and fries and drank wine! We even forgot the pics of the food read more

Chilean specialties and an impressive selection of wine, in an unpretentious yet elegant ambiance. Located within a shopping center, Barrica occupies two floors and has indoor and outdoor seating on both levels. The menu is varied, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. We sat on the outdoor patio on the second floor and were forced to endure some really horrible live music for about 30 minutes (two ladies doing acoustic covers of 90's hits), but after they left, the ambiance was pleasant. Every day since arriving in Chile, I have enviously watched people enjoying Corn Pies, a traditional dish of baked corn pudding, reminiscent of shepherds pie. They are traditionally made with beef, so I was thrilled to find a fully vegan version here made with mushroom and quinoa. It was everything I hoped for and more-sweet, savory, salty and creamy. Every bite was an explosion of flavor and a truly special treat. My boyfriend and I shared a wine flight, which is a good option if you want to try a variety of Chilean wines without drinking a lot. I also got a side salad, which was huge and very fresh, with plenty of avocado. My boyfriend got ceviche and said it was just okay. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely a solid choice for a casual meal in Santiago. read more

Loved this casual, hip restaurant in Bellavista Patio. I made a meal of three appetizers, all of them first/rate. Oysters were cold and fresh, with a spicy cucumber vinaigrette. Shrimp Pil Pil, one of my new favorite Chilean dishes, was spicy, with sauce begging for bread dipping -- sort of like Soanish escargot. Still hungry, I ordered grilled octopus, which could have been more tender but was nevertheless delicious in a mild green sauce. They have an enormous wine list, with over 30 offerings by the glass. I had Sauvignon Gris with the oysters and shrimp -- perfect -- and Gewurtztraminer with the octopus, also a winner. Since it was my last night in Santiago I sprang for dessert-- dark chocolate semifreddo, rich and delicioso. read more

Found this place on a recent trip to South America and had a fantastic dining experience here! It is primely located in Bella Vista Patio and very nicely decorated. It is perfect for a business dinner or a date night. Though I speak some Spanish, the wait staff is bilingual. Had no trouble finding a table here on a late Thursday night. The other customers were largely American. Ordered the beef empanaditas as a starter (pino de carne, 3) which were amazing! Upon the strong suggestion by my friend, I ordered the chorillana as my entree, not realizing it is the typical fast food/"heart attack" dish of Santiago. It was beef and poached eggs on a platter of fries. Everything tasted great and portion sizes are enough for 2-3 meals. I highly recommend Barrica 94 to all! read more

This place is very much like Bocanariz - my favorite restaurant in Santiago. It is a wine bar with an extensive wine collection and helpful English speaking waiters to explain things to you and help with food pairing suggestions. We ordered a bottle of cab, and they seasoned the decanter, and used a decanter instead of just leaving the bottle, as other restaurants often do. We ordered an appetizer set with empanadas (amazing. three types: one with an almost goat-y tasting gouda, one with a soft brie-type of cheese with nuts, one with mixed veggies. Each comes with a special sauce. The first one was paired with a caramelized onion sauce. absolutely perfect) and montaditos (bites of heaven, amazing tapas). We also ordered the seafood pasta and the lamp lasagna with the mushroom risotto as a side. All of them were just OK to good. The seafood pasta could have more flavor, the lasagna was a bit dry and the cheese was overwhelming, and the risotto was also dry and not creamy. But the appetizer was so good that I didn't even mind. read more

Located in a very cool space in the coolest neighborhood in Santiago! We sat outside, which was very pleasant. They have a lot of options of wine by the glass, I think almost 40, which makes it a great option if you're looking for a good wine tasting, and try different types. Besides that, they have their own wine tasting option, in which they bring 4 of their choosing. We did both, and I gotta say, their tasting is really worth it! We paired it with a cheese & charcuterie platter, which also had some great quality cheese. We didn't get any main dish, only a few appetizers to harmonize with the wine tasting :) Recommended. read more

The empanadas and fried with steak were good but nothing too special. The fried milk was good but was more like a flan. Overall the restaurant was good but I don't understand why the rating was so high. read more

Amazing spot! Tucked into a courtyard with a wonderful vibe, this is the perfect spot for wine and food. The empanadas were AMAZING!

I very rarely review but wanted to chime in on this establishment. In a beautiful and upscale part of Santiago this restaurant stands out. The service is prompt and attentive, a welcome change from most of South America. Generally, I stick with simple fare, steak and potatoes at restaurants, but with the owner as my guide, I branched out. What a great decision! The Pil Pil appetizer was interesting, a clay pot filled with shrimp in boiling pepper oil. The entree was specifically recommended and delivered. 5 giant slow cooked beef ravioli in a rich truffled mushroom sauce. I have a big appetite and was completely satisfied. The wine pairing was appropriate and tasty. The fact that this place stands out among other worthy restaurants in the same complex sets it apart. 5 stars. read more

I had dinner at Barrica 94 in May 2017. I was seated on the outside deck on the upper level, overlooking the Patio Bella Vista mall. I ordered the atún sellado, seared tuna, encrusted with panko crumbs and herbs ($9.900). I received an ample portion, perfectly seared on the outside, rare in the interior, beautifully plated on a bed of mushroom risotto. For dessert, I enjoyed a delicious leche asada, a lemon-cinnamon custard with dulce de leche sauce ($3.900). Including the Coke Zero ($1.700), the meal cost $15.500, or $17.050 (about US$25.35) with the 10% tip. I highly recommend Barrica 94. read more

ok so this place gets 5 stars for its location. located right in the midst of the bellavista scene, you couldn't ask for a better spot to grab dinner. this place gets 4 stars for its wine selection- lots of chilean reds to choose from PLUS a flight (which i did not experience sadly as I didn't even realize it was an option). but the reason it gets 3 stars is for the food. barrica isn't serving up the most delicious fare- in fact, their dishes leave much to be desired. from the ceviche to the salads to the meat dishes, quality doesn't match the price tag. read more

Modern well lit restaurant serving a range of tasty and fresh meat and fish dishes with numerous sides. Service is friendly, prompt and accommodating. On one night they made the shell food pasta dish vegetarian to suit our mood with not a moment of hesitation. They have a good selection of wine as well as some acceptable craft beers in bottles. It's also quiet which is a welcome respite to the loud music that permeates the neighborhood. read more

The best in the mall- great ambiance and servers. Excellent food! Do not miss this place- sit up stairs on he patio or overlooking the mall area. Fish and beef choices so you can suit everyone. We loved the ceviche and crudités plate. We love lamb, octopus, filet Mingon, lamb, osobucco. Douglas treated our family twice- HE IS THE BEST SERVER IN SANTIAGO! Do not miss this during your stay read more

FALSE ADVERTISING! they advertise as wine bar, in which case you should be able to taste some wines with no attachment to dinner... when you go with that intention and let the hostess know all you want is wine tasting, they sit you down and only then do they try to guilt you into getting dinner as well because their "patents are for restaurant" so the wine needs to be attached to food?! What a gimmick! Why advertise as wine bar?! Then try to MAKE the customer also get dinner! I got up and left... good luck. read more

The choice Barrica 94. It was just a few blocks away from Puriwani Hostel (very nice place with very accommodating staff right in the middle of the food and bar scene in Santiago). It turned out to be an excellent choice as it had plenty of my favorite wine. Chilean! I sat outside despite it being quite chilly. They had warmers set by every table and we were in a courtyard surrounded by similar restaurants and their outdoor seating. It almost was like dining at a fancy meeting of food trucks. Very cool and comfortable atmosphere. I ended up ordering the Chilean Vinos tasting (comes with 4 half glasses of different Chilean wines) for 10 mil. Then I started with the empanadas and beef tartar. Both super tasty especially with the good wine. Service was exquisite and all staff spoke good English. Apparently most of the Chileans know enough English to get by if not fluent. I finished with the sweet/savory short ribs and the poor man's fries served with 2 fried eggs and caramelized onions. The meat was fall off the bone and the sauce was just enough sweet balanced with the savory. I think some jalapeños would have been a good addition to the sauce, it was delicious nonetheless. read more

I may be biased, but it was perhaps the best contemporary food I had in Chile. I was with the Duke CCMBA program and we ate here for the beer and wine club. We had a 8 course meal with 12 wines, and I had to say it was amazing!! The vegetarians had their own 8 course menu that blew their minds. I have to say if you want contemporary food in a contemporary country, this place is it!! read more

Nothing blew our minds. But the food was definitely delicious. Worth the money for a local? Maybe not

Sooooooo good!!! I've never been to Santiago, Chile before and I don't know if all seafood in Santiago tastes this good, but WOW! This restaurant is located just a few minutes' walk from the La Astarria neighborhood where we stayed. It's a pretty "happening" and lively area: a good mix of students and working adults. Tucked into a city block of Bella Vista, Barraca 94 is among many places to eat and has a variety of seating: inside and outside with pretty good views of the Summit of San Crisobal. Now onto the service and food! Service was pretty spot on. As is more common in Chile, when you're ready to order or need something, you need to get the attention of the server. Many are familiar with Americans and were occasionally stopping by to ask if we needed anything. We had the razor clams appetizer with 3 parmasan(sp?) cheese clams and 3 pesto. yum! Baked to perfection, the toppings were well seasoned and didn't take away from the tender clams and their taste. The grilled octopus skewers were really good and the mint, green sauce was a perfect balance. Again, hurray for the chefs: the octopus was tender and had a fantastic freshness! The fish ceviche/cebiche was amazing! Fresh cuts of fish, tart lime juice, sharp slices of red onion, and all that was mellowed out with huge kernel Peruvian corn and slices of avocado. I usually don't go for fish ceviche, but THIS was too good!!! As when one is in Chile, you gotta have a Pisco Sour! But be sure to get a bottle of wine - their selection is incredible! read more

Barrica 94 is located in the upscale Patio Bellavista and features a mix of classic Chilean and pan- South American dishes. The food is just average but the leisurely and friendly service lends itself to pairing few small dishes with their wide selection of wines. It was also nice to see a few vegetarian options, including pastel de choclo. I suggest sticking to less expensive dishes and splurging on the wine. read more

This slightly fancier restaurant in Santiago serves delicious contemporary Chilean food! It's located in a wonderful area of the city filled with restaurants.The outdoor seating below and above on the terrace is lovely. And for the quality of the food, which is more high end, the prices are rather reasonable ($20-30 per person). Between my friend and I, we tried the mixed ceviche fresca, grilled octopus, tuna tartare, pumpkin cream soup, chocolate mousse cake, and a few other items. Everything was divine and the passionfruit sauce that came with the tuna tartare was unique and flavorful. The chocolate cake for dessert was exactly on point. Service was much better here than other places in Latin America. English menus available. Would definitely give this restaurant a shot if you are visiting Santiago! read more

From the moment we walked in to the door (we wanted to check out the menu first), the manager was very amiable and helpful in answering any questions. The waitress offered us a seat on the balcony, which was great.

Here's another five-star rating from Santiago. We happened across Barrica 94 while out strolling on our first day in Santiago. The outdoor menu looked enticing, so we asked for a patio table open to the cool fall breezes. We were in for a loooong lunch. We began by ordering a Sauvignon Blanc to complement the seafood appetizers we ordered. The seafood appetizer of raw oysters, grilled octopus, and ceviche was awesome. We sipped our wine and pondered a main course, after taking our time enjoying the weather and the scenery here, I ordered the fish of the day that arrived baked perfectly on top of a corn cake. It was perfectly prepared and a very tasty way to enjoy the light flavor of the fish. My wife had the osso bucco. Her dish was expertly roasted with tender chunks or meat in a tantalizing sauce. Sadly, we were too full for the postres, but we will likely be back. What a great find our first day in town! read more
