I'm neither Latin American nor an arepa expert, but I really like this place. They have like 40…read moredifferent options for fillings, so surely you can find something that fits your taste. My favorite is the Mostacarne. I like that the arepa actually stays together instead of falling apart into a mess. Also the sauces are good. I brought a Venezuelan friend here to see what he thought, and he gave it his stamp of approval (although apparently it's just not possible to get that true Venezuelan taste in Chile because of the availability of some ingredients). Also, the price is great so it makes for a good lunch for me (and conveniently is close to my apartment!). You can also order on delivery apps like PedidosYa, but it's cheaper to get it in the actual restaurant.

La Mar in Santiago is outstanding. The food is excellent, with an impressive selection of very…read morefresh fish and beautifully prepared seafood. While the menu is mostly focused on seafood, there are also sashimi options and subtle Japanese influences that add nice variety without taking away from La Mar's core identity. Everything we tried was flavorful and well executed, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. I also ordered a pisco sour, which was perfectly balanced and one of the better ones I've had. If you enjoy high-quality seafood and fresh fish, La Mar is absolutely worth a visit.

This was our first restaurant we tried in Santiago and wow it blew us away! We asked the server his…read morerecommendations, and he hand picked out dishes, starting with two ceviches, scallops, a fish and risotto dish, and dessert. Everything was phenomenal and the flavors and freshness of the fish really blew us away. And, the restaurant itself had a great vibe and wasn't too loud. Really loved our experience.

A hole-in-the-wall that delivers very tasty late-night treats. We found it on a rainy Sunday…read moreevening at 10:30pm, saw the place completely empty, and passed it right by. After walking around for a bit, at 11pm, we walked past again and this time the tiny place was full - there were six people in there. So we decided to chance it & see what there was. What we found was a short menu of nice after-hours food: arepas, hamburgers, and a club sandwich that looked pretty irresistible, so we ordered two. The sandwiches were prepared quickly, and we were pleasantly surprised when they came out. Very tasty & complete, with a fired egg and everything - reminiscent of a Mexican torta: filling and delicious! The only problem was that as we ate our club sandwiches, we saw a couple of other people order arepas, and when they came out, they looked so good that we had to buckle down and order one to split between us despite having just finished these generous club sandwiches. The effort was worth it. The corn-flour arepas were warm and fresh, and the filling traditional and delicious. Also, prices are pretty modest, so if you get a craving for a substantial late-night snack on the way home from the bar, you can't go wrong here.

We loved this quirky hipster Chilean restaurant so much from the kitchy arcade to the amazing…read morecocktails and seafood. The octopus appetizer was particularly spectacular. Note that the portions are not particularly large, the prices are not particularly low, and the decor not at all new if that kind of thing is important to you - but it is truly charming, quirky, fun and delicious. It was one of our favorite nights out coming here, and we even played a game at the arcade after supper, although it closed very shortly after that, so come early if you really want to spend time at the arcade. IMPORTANT NOTE: ONLY OPEN ON WEEKENDS. (We tried to go during the week and failed, but we came back and were so glad we did!)

We started out with the Caramelized Goat Cheese Salad. We can not recommend this enough! Delicious and fresh and light. We ordered the Filet Sautéed in Gnocchi and the Filet Sheet.
