A humble, quaint cafe tucked away in the Providencia neighborhood if Santiago…read more Rendebú was one of the first places I visited when I arrived in Santiago. It was a rainy day and nothing sounded better than a nice hot cup of tea and a rich pastry. This cafe has an awesome selection of different pastries including one of Chiles specialties, Torta de Manjar. Aka a cake layered with dulce de leche, nuts and thin puff pastry bits. A real sweet bite, but perfect for those cold winter afternoons. I've also tried their chocolate ganache cake with raspberry sauce and really enjoyed the richness of it without it being too overwhelming. One of my fondest experiences from Rendebú was the variety of loose leaf tea they offered. When you sit down, servers bring you a tray full of different types of loose leaf teas in little jars for you to smell and decide between. I got the looseleaf Bombay Chai with steamed soy milk and reused the tea leaves a few times after, and to my surprise they held their flavor, even after the 3rd refill! Of course, the cafe wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable if it weren't for the adorable decor. A mix of 1950s memorabilia and paisley walls paper make it a charming and cozy setting to enjoy your afternoon tea! During my stay in Santiago I returned once more to Cafe Rendebú, and if I ever revisit the amazing country of Chile I will surely be back! -Parisa

The panini's were delicious, the perfect combination of greens, salami and goat cheese. On our way out I was hit by the overwhelming smell of chocolate coming from the kitchen, next time I'll have whatever they were making.

El café es fabuloso en todas sus versiones y, si son mañosos como yo, hacen la versión como uno lo quiera, aunque no esté en la carta. Tienen una variedad exquisitas de té y hierbas aromáticas naturales, y hacen la infusión como se debe. Para el desayuno, recomiendo los huevos revueltos con queso que son una delicia con tostadas. Tienen, además, un menú para el almuerzo muy balanceado y rico, que incluye entrada, fondo, postre, pan y jugo natural (de verdad y no embotellado). Si a todo esto le incluimos wifi gratis y terraza para fumadores, este café es un tesoro en la ciudad de Santiasco :)
