We found this place on Yelp... with a strong recommendation from the hotel concierge. They have do have menus in English and a QR code menu with English and Spanish with pictures. Everything we had was fantastic and the waiter and chef were very accommodating. Everything was great particularly the traditional menu items. The service was warm and friendly. Everything was very reasonably priced. We enjoyed sitting outside given we had just arrived from the US in early December. The plus here... most of the folks (other than us) seemed like neighborhood locals. When you're traveling, go where the locals go :) In fact we met the owner who was sitting at the table next to us with some German expats, which just added to the warmth and depth of our experience. read more

Very friendly management and staff. Here are my ratings for each dish we had: (1) Pastel de Choclo: 4 stars. This is a corn pie filled with chicken and hard boiled eggs. It taste a bit sweet (from the corn) and also savory. (2) caldillo de congrio: 3 stars. This is a fish stew. It tasted okay; not my favorite. (3) Chupe de Jaiba: 5 stars. This tasted like a hot crab meat dip to me. It was delicious. (4) Locos with mayonnaise: 4 stars. This is a Chilean seafood delicacy served with potatoes (5) Torres starter plate: 3 stars. This platter has cheese, prosciutto, salami, crostini and empanadas. It was our first time having these local food and we enjoyed it. read more

Been twice downtown and twice at this location. My Chilean wife wanted old school Chilean dishes. About 9PM on a Friday we approached with no reservations, restaurant was emptier than most in the area. We ordered Pastel de Choclo and Porotos Granados, which is a plate people used to cook at home but you almost never see on menus. Both were excellent. The restaurant has history back to the late 1800's, and maintains an old school menu, even up this more upscale location. Just once, you owe it to yourself to eat a Barros Luco sandwich at the same place President Barros Luco ate the sandwich, but at the original location. read more

Great Chilean food, friendly staff, reasonable prices. We flew in to Santiago early that morning from Texas after only a few hours sleep, but really wanted the Chilean food experience after walking all over Santiago all day. Waiting until 7 pm was a challenge, but we did it and it was worth the wait. First thing we noticed was that we were the only tourists; two large tables were full of locals celebrating. I had the grandmother's crab cake recipe, OMG, it was so delicious; my wife had Chilean sea bass -- we have had that so many times and it's never been as fresh and perfectly cooked as this time. We also split a salad and a bottle of wine. Friendly and helpful staff, we followed their recommendations and only wish we were in Santiago again for this kind of food celebration. read more

The fish was well prepared and cooked just right. You have to scan the QR code for the menu but they did have some paper menus though the server said the menu on line gave more details. The bread came out piping hot. My husband's conger came with very thin slices of fried potatoes that were quite tasty. read more

I enjoyed every bite of this place. Not a lot of English spoken here and the menu doesn't explain what each dish is. Use their website menu for pics and it's easy enough. I had the pastel de choclo (Chilean shepherd's pie) which is awesome and the empanada's, of which I like the beef better than the cheese. read more

We love this place and my son asked if we could come back again. First off, the empanadas were delicious and I only got to eat 1.5 of them bc my son took them all and put them on his plate! The pizza on focaccia bread was good too. Daughter asked for fries which we kept stealing so all in all, it was good. We will be coming back to try out the rest of the menu. Service was great. When we walked in, a gentleman can see we spoke English and told us to wait for his daughter who could speak English. She was very nice and sat us outside but seeing it was chilly, she asked if we preferred inside. We sat by the cafe which was nice. We started with a glass of champagne and beer. The gentleman's other daughter working the cafe, came over to us to help us out. She was very nice and we had a great time talking to her. She told us about the history of the cafe and I'm so glad we stopped by! It's one of the oldest restaurant in town and I loved that the entire family was working there. Beautiful family and great service. I highly recommend this place as it was so welcoming and the food was delicious! read more

We just went to Confiteria Torres tonight for dinner while we are in Santiago for one day - it was fantastic, if you are in the area and looking for a great dinner, just go here. Some details: - we don't speak any Spanish and they were super kind. Three owners daughter canned over and helped us, recommended two Chilean meals that we could not decide which we liked better - the menus is great, lot of options and pictures for almost everything. Three portion sizes are perfect - not "American large", you could actually get and split some which would bee a great way to try multiple things - options for anybody's taste - pasta, meat, seafood, etc - staff was incredibly nice, setting is great. It is the oldest restaurant in Santiago - we both ate dinners, splitter a dessert, had a bottle of wine, and they were so nice with us as we stumbled through ordering that we doubled the tip and it was still only $60. Don't overthink your dinner choice, just go here. You will love it read more

A must stop when in Santiago not only is it one of the eldest running restaurants (1879) currently run by Family Soto , it's very good Chilean local food on the extensive menu. Ask for Oswald he gave us excellent food suggestions for local food like the choclo pastel and the helado harina tostada! Today is Easter a holiday yet the owner made time to stop at each table to say hello. I really enjoy the background music too! read more

Best meal we had in Chile! Everything was great! The owner introduced himself and sat us. The service was great. And the food was amazing! We were eating light that night and just ordered the crab with cheese entree and prawns app. It was more like a full meal for two. All very good and fresh.

This place was relatively near our hotel and we were looking for something Chilean. Started with ceviche. I had mariscos (mixed seafood) Wife had pato (duck) Son had Lomo a lo Pobre (meat and potato served with fried egg). All were fantastic. We had just come from wine tasting so were avoiding the Pisco Sour, but the Lemonade with mint and ginger was a great accompaniment. read more

We came to the restaurant on the recommendation of our hotel (AC Hotel Marriott). We were told this was the oldest, or one of the oldest, Chilean restaurants. We were greeted at the entrance and given the option to sit inside or outside. My DH and I chose a quaint table inside by the window. The menu is in Spanish and English so ordering was easy. We ordered and appetizer that came with meats, cheeses, nuts, dried fruit, rolls. salmon bruschetta, and more. Our plan was to share the appetizer and order dinner but we were both full. The queso empanadas were fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant when visiting Santiago, Chile is was phenomenal. read more

The Appetizer with all the variety is amazing. A meal by itself. Nice location. Very good service. It was the last appetizer on the list and has sample empanadas along with other items. We sat outside. It was very nice. read more

I agree with all the earlier reviews. The staff was friendly, the place was bustling at lunchtime, and the sandwich I had was excellent. They bake their own bread, apparently, and the bread on my sandwich was fabulous read more

Ask a local about what, besides just the food, makes this place so cool! A famous Chilean regular and his favorite dish!

Sorry but I was not impressed. Could be my mistake but I ordered the Chorillana. A bit greasy and the eggs were disappointing. Beer was very coldand service was good. Hard for me to recommend after that. I have provided a picture of the Chorillana for reference. read more

This place was fantastic. Great atmosphere and great food. My husband recommends the steak sandwich with chilies on it.
