Our go-to fried chicken place in Centro. True to its name, the chicken is crispy (and delicious!)…read more The dipping sauces are also quite tasty, and the service is excellent. A great place for a quick lunch or late-night snack.

The first time I went to a Norky's was when I was in Lima. My partner, who is Peruvian, had said it…read morewas one of his favorite places to get barbecued chicken (peruvian style). During that trip, we must have gone to a Norkys at least 10 times - not only in Lima, but when we went north as well (forget about ceviche on the beach...he wanted Norkey's). 3 years have passed and I am in Santiago shopping for a present for my partner's birthday when I see a familiar sign - it's Norky's and they have come to Chile!! What a perfect present -- his favorite meal prepared by a restaurant he knows from back home. The entrance on San Antonio is fairly tiny (if you're not looking you can miss it as you walk past), but as I made my way down the stairs, to my surprise, there was a large underground restaurant with flat screen TVs and an open kitchen. I ordered him his favorite 1/4 of pollo a la brasa served with french fries and a peruvian salad (prices are similar to Aji Seco) and I sat in a comfy waiting area until my order was promptly ready. The chicken was just as good as it is in Peru. If you have a hankering for bbq chicken I definitely recommend trying Norky's. They also offer delivery and takeout.

Easily best food in downtown Santiago. Cheap and very clean. Staff is nice. Most restaurants…read moreoffer the same menu: hot dogs, horrid roast beef, and everything is served on white bread. Everything at Tarragona is visible to the eye. And portions are great. Prices very cheap. Other places charge $20 for cazuela (a piece of chicken, carrot and potato tossed into boiling water), and other truly boring fare. I'm telling you, this is the spot.

It's your typical McDonald's. Nothing really special but does the job if you're craving something…read moreAmerican and familiar. It's one of the many eateries located at the touristy and popular Patio Bellavista. It's located next to the Starbucks. They offer the usual menu items you'll normally see at McDonalds in the US: Big Macs, cheeseburgers, quarter pounders, McChicken sandwiches (called McPollo), wraps, salads, fries, and McNuggets. I think I came here once or twice because my hostel was super close and I was too lazy to go far and I wanted something relatively cheap and didn't want hot dogs from the carts outside. When I visit McDonalds in other countries, i like to find the special regional items that you can't find in the US. In Chile, they have the McPollo Italiano, which has the chicken plus avocado, tomato, and mayonnaise. It's called Italiano because it had the colors of the Italian flag. You see this avocado/tomato/mayo combo on hot dogs in Chile a lot. The McPollo Italiano was pretty good. McDonalds in Latin America also offer the McNifica, which is pretty much a hamburger with cheese, tomato, onions, and lettuce. The name is fun cuz it sounds like magnífica! The desserts are usually different too - you can get manjar syrup topped ice cream cone - manjar is Chile's dulce de leche, which they love in South America. And sometimes they'll do a McFlurry with a different candy. When I was there, they did a Milka McFlurry but I didn't like it. The chocolate tasted pretty waxy. They also offered a Ritter Sport McFlurry but I didn't try that one.

The decoration makes you feel you are somewhere in Marrakech! The service was great, they didn't have seating inside, so they sat us outside for a while and after a table became available they were very kind in moving us in. The food was so savory and cooked on point. I ordered the steak teriyaki and it was a good portion placed on a hot pan which continue to cook my meal why I was eating it! Don't leave this place without having their traditional tea which I'm sure it had some honey touch and it was a great after having such a good meal!

What an eclectic place! The decor is really interesting and has a great vibe. The music was…read moreperfect and it just felt comfortable, hip and welcoming. Was here with some colleagues and we had a lot of appetizers and cocktails. I filled up on the cocktails, including some delicious hummus, spring rolls and shrimp and I was so full, I couldn't order an entree so I just had some lamb kebabs. Everything was bold and tasty. The menu features things from various parts of the world whether it's the Middle East, Southeast Asia or Africa. Service was great, too. They brought us out some desserts including something that had mango in it and it was delicious. I was disappointed I had to share that. One standout for me was their cocktail menu. They have a lot of interesting drinks, including non-alcoholic mocktails, and my rose martini was spectacular. It not only looked great but it tasted amazing. Too many times things that are rose flavored have an overly artificial rose taste to them, but this was sublime. Definitely a great place.
