Perfect for a hot summer visit in December or January! The food was terrific, I enjoyed a delicately flavored Coronation Chicken starter followed by a tender, tasty entre of beef with green lentils and delicious warm beetroot. The home made lemonade is worth ordering as well. Spanish and English language menus available for the lingusitically challenged (like me)! We were given a wonderfully warm reception by Cecile Latham-Koenig. You won't regret eating here, you'll be talking about how much you enjoyed the experience.

A good tapas bar in Santiago is hard to find, but look no further than De la Ostia! If you have an…read moreentire Sunday to spend with friends, drinking pitchers and pitchers of delicious sangria, you will not be disappointed. This spot is on a busy restaurant row and on the weekends, every table on the boulevard is taken (hint: arrive early--13:30, stay late-17:00). The staff is very nice and accommodating. My recommendations are the mushroom croquettes (just go ahead and order two), the sangria, and the Spanish tortilla. If you like calamari rings, those are also nice. The most unusual option is the flamenquines, which are sort of a tapas version of a Scotch egg with pork, pepper, and an egg in the center with a nice fried crust. Check it out! Depending on the time of year, the sun can be harsh, so wear SPF or bring a hat, because the umbrellas are few. Need to hit the loo? No problem--they have a well-kept unisex bathroom, too.

Lol The staff were extremely friendly and very accommodating. I ordered a cup of tea (pronounced te) and a muffin to go. I hung around and took care of my internet biz first. The staff offered me a tiny complimentary chocolate cake and I loved the place even more since chocolate is my bff. I conversed with the staff a bit with them teaching me a few Spanish words and me teaching them English. The cafe was very clean, quaint and very cozy. You can definitely enjoy breakfast and unwind before you start your day. If I lived in the area, this would be a local go to spot.

They serve their coffee strong and with a delicious small bar of dark chocolate (73% cacao) and absolutely delicious! This quaint cafe is perfect for a number of different cafe-type activities including, but not limited to, breakfast on a weekend outside in their nice patio, a work meeting or working solo with your computer. One of the many good things about this cafe is its super cute, picturesque cafe style. Everyone who passes by, lingers for a second outside of the large windows before continuing on their way. The service is good and quick and their internet is fast! The ambiance is relaxed, warm and has the perfect amount of white noise and alternative music to be conducive to working. They also have a variety of tasty pastries (I recommend their galletas surtidas) as well as lunch and dinner options. For breakfast, I hands down recommend their granola and yogurt. It is a perfect weekend breakfast treat, accompanied by one of their delicious cafe-lattes. yum! Tip: Despite the delicious looking cake sign, I do not recommend their carrot cake. They have so many other great pastries I wouldn't opt for this one. If it is warm, sit outside with a nice juice or coffee or pick up something to go and walk through the park (it is a block away).

Somehow we managed to order what we wanted (a lot of pointing to the menu). Here are my ratings for each dish we had: (1) Chilean Razor Clams: 3 stars. I thought the cheese on top of the clams were too much. It over powers the flavor of the clams (2) Arrollado Palton (rolled pork): 5 stars. This was delicious. My favorite dish of this meal. (3) Pastel de Choclo (Corn pie): 4 stars. It was good. This is a combination of sweet and savory. It has corn filling with chicken and hard boiled eggs. (4) Filet Mar y Tierra al Ajillo (beef filet and shrimp): 4 stars. Good flavor. Overall I give this place 4 stars. We had an enjoyable meal in spite of the language barrier.
