After visiting La Sebastiana, time for some lunch and live music!
THE AMBIANCE:
Gente Feliz Cafeteria ("Gente Feliz Cafe") was a gem, slightly hidden among the curved and artistic streets of Valparaiso, Chile. The neighborhood is FULL of amazing art on the concrete walls of buildings and alleyways. I posted some of the artwork so you can get an idea. It was so nice. Gente Feliz Cafe is small and cozy. There is art on the walls and Chilean decorations. You feel like you are at someone's home. On our visit they had live music/dancing by staff members and there was also a man with an amazing voice that played the guitar.
THE FOOD:
We started the meal off with a personal ceviche platter. It was delicious; fresh, sour from the lemon, and it hit the spot. After the ceviche we dined on a Pastel de Papa with ground beef at the bottom. It was really tasty!!
THE TIPS:
I would definitely suggest Gente Feliz Cafe to experience some Chilean cuisine, Chilean music, and walk the beautiful nearby streets of Valparaiso for the art!
