    Ceviche
    Kat R.

    Visiting from the US. The food was excellent, service was welcoming, view was perfect.

    This restaurant is located on the hilly part of Valparaiso city. Easiest to use the Ascensor Funicular. The views are amazing and peaceful. Best to eat outside. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They speak good English. Our server Felipe, he was very kind and helpful - spoke English very well. He explained about the dishes. We were here for lunch time. The bathroom were clean. The outdoor dining has a nice ambience surrounded by flowers, plants and trees.

    Crab Ravioli -10/10

    Superb restaurant in Valparaiso. We enjoyed dining at La Concepcion so much that we returned the next evening. Location: La Concepcion is perched on Cerro Concepcion, one of Valparaiso's signature hills. The outdoor dining area overlooks the Valparaiso's port and the Pacific Ocean. Food: Easily on par with some of the best restaurants in NYC. First off, the complimentary whole-grain bread they serve is delicious. Our first night, I had the squash soup to start which was outstanding, with a really nice depth of flavor. I followed that with the Crab ravioli which certainly lived up to the hype! Each ravioli encases an impressive amount of crab meat and the accompanying cream sauce makes for a truly divine main. My second night, I started with the ceviche and followed with the braised beef with pumpkin gnocchi, which were both very good, although out of everything I ordered, the crab ravioli reigned supreme. Drinks: I had a Manhattan each night, which was well-made. The bottle of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon we ordered to accompany our meal had nice depth of flavor and went well with beef. Service: Top-notch. Waitstaff did a great job making sure our needs were attended to and provided helpful recommendations. Overall: A must when in Valparaiso!

    Based on reviews here and Tripadvisor, I decided to treat myself here on my final night Valparaiso. I ordered the seafood stew and crab ravioli based also based on reviews. The best part of my meal was the bread service with warm bread and herb butter, olive based spread and oil/vinegar. The base of the seafood stew was OK but the shellfish largely tasteless and most likely overcooked. Similarly the crab ravioli really had no crab taste and tasted more like nuts. I'm going to guess that it is out of season (which means it shouldn't be on the menu) or also overcooked. Service was good after I realized that they think you just want to enjoy the view and have to specifically request to pay after you say you are finished and they clear the table. I wouldn't have an issue of price $35 no beverage with builtin 10% service charge if the food was actually good.

    Fantastic View! Worth the colorful uphill walk

    If you are in Valparaiso and do not eat at La Concepcion, dont ever talk to men! The food, the service, the drinks, the desserts, oh and the view, all were the bestest! Do yourself a favor, walk the tiny uphill and create a good memory!

    Good quality but not "unbelievable" as some people claim. Crab ravioli is one of their signature dishes but it's way too rich and crab felt frozen. Seafood soup excellent and ceviche was the best dish by far. Pisco sour good! Nice view of ocean

    First time at this restaurant:, The food was delicious, services was friendly and professional, great wines and music. We love the view, it is spectacular!!! 100% recommended

    Wine and free bread

    Heard that this restaurant was a must-visit in the area and it did not disappoint. Saturday afternoon, still a few tables outside for lunch time. At first we were seated towards the back of the balcony, then a table opened up towards the front which had an excellent view, and they moved us there without even having to ask. To pair with the excellent view, we ordered a bottle of white wine (can't remember which one, there were a lot of options). An excellent local wine to savor with the free bread and flavored butters they hand out to start. For the main course, ordered the Pescado Austral ($10.700pesos) - a filet of hake on top of excellent quinoa and sauteed vegetables. The fish is fattier than most, which makes it very soft. This is complimented by the hardy quinoa swimming in a tangy sauce. Also got to try a salmon dish, which I liked better (the fish in general). Definitely paying for the view here, as well as the fantastic service. Worth the trip.

    Quite possibly the best dinner I've had in the entire country. This restaurant had a reputation that preceded it. It met and exceeded all expectations. Fish was amazing, service was above average considering how busy it was and the view is spectacular. It is pricey for Chile but worth it. If you can only visit one restaurant in Valpo, La Concepcion is a great choice!

    Lunch with a beautiful view! This was hands down my favorite meal in Chile. The food was impeccable and the crisp casas del bosque wine was good. I ordered the crab ravioli and I can't describe how great this meal was. Each ravioli had lots of fresh crab meat and the cream sauce was made to perfection. The service was great along with the views. Our waiter was very attentive and provided us with excellent service. Everyone in our party of 5 loved their dish. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to Valparaiso.

    Overall a great restaurant to enjoy Italian food with ocean produce. The view is unbeatable, even…read moreindoors, and the place got packed with customers, some with very large parties, within 30 mins they opened. So - making a reservation is strongly encouraged, as well as bringing a cover if you plan to seat on the open deck (they provide covers upon request!). As for the food, all the "producto di mare" was absolutely great. For dessert, I recommend their sampler. Great ambience. Delicious food choices. Professional service. There is no way to go wrong with this place. PS: the 4 starts instead of 5 is because of the bad locations of bathrooms for the elderly or people with physical dissections.

    Ah, so nice! I have…read morebeen to this restaurant three times now and find it one of the best in the Valparaiso/Viña Del Mar. Like every lunch I have had here, we open with a Pisco Sour and then some small plates. But here both of these are above the norm. The wall art showing historical Valparaiso, many photographs of famous peoples and other wall art make the atmosphere interesting. Service is excellent but nothing matches the food here. I had the sea bass on my last trip. It was served on a bed of what I will call puréed hominy but could have been anything. It was spectacular. Thank the Lord I cannot tell you how good their desserts are because the food already has me worried about my waistline!
