This is a great restaurant in a fun part of Santiago…read more I have been enjoying pisco cocktails throughout Chile, and the cocktails here were fantastic. Over a couple of visits I was able to try: La Enjundia De Diablo, Cotrabando, Temporada, and Pisco is in the air. Truthfully the first two were preferred, more spicy than sweet. The second two were like smoothies with alcohol-also delicious, just hot differently. They were well presented and fabulous. For meals we had the steak and chimichurri, good if you love a big steak- a little too much for us. The beef and lentils were delicious and perfect for a cold winter evening. The next meals we tried were the cuttlefish croquettes which were very good, like a Japanese octopus ball. Great sauces. Then the fish of the day-Hake- with whipped potatoes(I think) and capers with veggies-outstanding. We also had a very good, filling, fish sandwich. I liked the sweet potatoes, a unique touch. The service was attentive without overdoing it. The first night when we came in everyone said hello, which made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was fun, hipster, and inviting. So glad our hotel was nearby, couldn't have asked for a better restaurant to be near.

For a very reasonable price, you also get a pisco sour, water/soda/wine, an appetizer (fried cauliflower with beets), and coffee. The pisco sour was very refreshing and tart. Food was a good sized portion as well and tasted light and not too heavy. The lunch special isn't listed in the menu so don't forget to ask about it! Ambiance is really cute inside and they have nice outdoor seating as well.

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.

Everything here was delicious, and the portions were very generous in size. I ended up taking half of a sandwich to go.

Service is tip notch...staff makes honest suggestions, they warned me about size of certain dishes. Other suggestions were detailed on food ingredients and flavors. The best thing is the variety of new cuisine dishes along with traditional Peruvian plates with slight Gaston twist. So far have tasted many things on menu and nothing has been short of great. It is not a low price place but not ultra expensive for the quality and portion size you get. I'll continue to visit any chance I get and country I see them!

Parque Arauco Mall SANTIAGO , CHILE…read more Just going over my notes from my last trip to Santiago and discovered my notation that I ate at Madam Tusan in January 2012. I am embarrassed to report that I do not remember what dish I ordered, but I did write in my notes that the food was EXCELLENT ! I do remember the meal because it was delicious, a fusion of Asian and Latin flavors. I plan to return and visit again in January 2015. My flight leaves tomorrow night for Santiago. Next time I will render a better report. I would highly recommend Madam Tusan as a fine place to dine. Siiii, yo recuerdo este restaurante muy bien. No recuerdo lo que yo comí , pero fue muy sabrosa. Una fusión de comidas latina y Asianas. Hace 3 años desde mi última visita ahi. Iré a Chile mañana en la noche y definitivamente iría a regresar al restaurante Madame Tusan. Qué lástima que no escribo bien en el español. Sin embargo , espero que me entienden. ok...I am in Chile now, but in the city of La Serena, north of Santiago. The other day, when I was in Santiago I went to the PARQUE ARAUCO MALL. Then I saw it, the other Madam Tusan. I knew that I ate at Madam Tusan but did not remember where it waslocated. The address above at Av. Andres Bello was not the one I ate at, it was the one in PARQUE ARAUCO. Either way, the food there is excellent.. Of course there is parking in the Mall parking lot, for a small fee.

Every dish that I have tried is wonderful!! I prefer seafood dishes and have never been disappointed. The ceviche is always fresh (get the corvina!!) and tasty. Chicharrón de camarones (calamari) is lightly breaded and savory. And don't miss the machas a la parmesana!! To wash down the food, a glass of pisco sour catedral is a must!!! Olan is a little more expensive than other Peruvian restaurants in Santiago, but is well worth the price. You can taste the quality and attention to every dish you order here. I have never been disappointed with every visit and always look forward to another visit when I return to Chile.

Decided to try this place on my first night in Santiago partly because it was reasonably rated, but…read moremostly because it was close to my hotel and pouring rain outside. That night, it was clear I was the only customer. There were seven or eight guys standing around waiting for something to happen and, when I walked in, began to excitedly approach me like a pack of American used car dealers. I meetly thought of my dad's childhood warning to me-never eat in an empty restaurant. I have a mind to walk back out, but looking at the pouring rain, I decided to plunge forward and take the risk that my first meal in Santiago might be my worst. Surprise upon surprises, I wasn't disappointed. In the least. I ordered a Peruvian fish platter with a delicious side of some sort of savory corn and bean cake. The food was moist, flavorful, and it was clear that these guys took pride in what they were doing. The meal was accompanied by a side of some sort of delicious cilantro tapenade which I quickly slathered all the food with, only increasing the flavor. All in all, a satisfying dinner. I didn't feel taken advantage of in the least, and my used car dealer fears were unsubstantiated. I was in and out of there relatively quickly, which was fine--I had other things to do. The price was about 10,000- US$15- not a budget meal, but not highway robbery either. I wouldn't make a special detour for this place, but if you were looking for a slightly classy Peruvian meal in the neighborhood that won't shock your wallet, Olan might just be the ticket.

My family were visiting awhile back, so I thought I would take them to the tastiest food in Santiago: Peruvian. After some debate, we decided to go to Barandarian in Bella Vista so they could also check out the patio and this cool artsy strip filled with graffiti, nice architecture and one of Pablo Neruda's homes. When we arrived, we were sat promptly and received a lunch menu. Right away the owner, who happened to be there that day, came over to our table and started speaking with us in English. He was super nice (trying to charm my stepmom haha). He made sure our dishes came out perfectly and quickly. He also recommended what we should try based, one plate included goat which was quite good and the other was the tallarín saltado which was delicious (I definitely recommend it)! We had pisco sours to start. They were good, but mine was on the sweeter side so I asked if I could get some extra lemon juice and the waiter was quick to get it (free of charge). After we finished our meal, the owner came back and took a picture with us, he also gave my stepmom a "recuerdo" which was a picture she had commented to him earlier that she liked (very nice on his part). Overall, the food was good, a little on the pricier side, but definitely worth it and the service was great.
