Superb restaurant in Valparaiso. We enjoyed dining at La Concepcion so much that we returned the…read morenext 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!

We felt so bad, but appreciated his patience! We ordered to local on draft beers and the ceviche. Let me just say this...I DO NOT EAT RAW FISH! When they brought the ceviche to the table I was caught off guard by the mounds of raw fish on the plate. My husband started eating and said it was out of this world delicious. He talked it up so much I actually tried it. And I'm so glad I did! It was amazing! It comes with chopped purple onions, cilantro, roasted corn kernels all in this wonderful lemony sauce. The flavors all combined were perfection! This place is very quaint and has a great outdoor patio with a view over the city. The hike up is strenuous, but there's tons of beautiful street art to distract you!

It had a reduction sauce poured over it to die for. My colleague had marinated steak bites over french fries and rice, with grilled onions and bell peppers with the same reduction sauce, like a thick beef base (no cream). Italian is widely available in Chile and overused in descriptions, I would call this Italian fusion at best; my colleague is from Chile and suggested Peruvian this is where we went, so this Italian title is not 100% accurate, more like 25% since one special out of 4 was pasta based.

It has a homey, rustic decor. It's open from lunch on all day which is good if you are looking for a late lunch early dinner. We had the fried fish and ceviche - they have a much better selection of the latter than anywhere else we've been. Good selection of fresh juices - I had the blueberry without sugar which was great. Not a place for sea views like many other places in this area - the two windows in front look out on the buildings across the narrow street - but the food is definitely worth trying.

It's located in/next to Fauna hotel next to one of the funiculars/ascensors, so it's easy to find. Half the restaurant is indoor (with glass windows) and the rest out on a patio with a gorgeous view. We ordered the shrimp, sauteed vegetables, fish of the day with risotto, and a smoked salmon sandwich. The portions were extremely generous for the mains and everything was delicious. We were absolutely stuffed between 2 people and probably could've ordered 1 fewer dish. Only minor complaint was that the fish was a tad salty. While we didn't have any cocktails, the bartenders looked skilled and the mixed drinks looked beautiful. Highly recommend for a delicious scenic meal in Valpo!

Luckily, the food and service add even more to the experience. We started with the tuna ceviche, which was absolutely gorgeous, fresh, bright, and perfectly balanced. Easily the highlight of the meal. For the main course, the catch of the day was swordfish. While the flavor was good, the fish itself was a bit tough, so I wouldn't strongly recommend it. However, the sides it came with were exceptional: the potatoes were comforting and well seasoned, and the mushroom risotto was rich, creamy, and incredibly satisfying. Easily one of the best things on the plate. The service was great, friendly and attentive without being intrusive, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed yet stylish. If you're in Valparaíso and want a meal with a view, Restaurant Fauna is a wonderful choice, especially for the ceviche and that unforgettable risotto.

The inside of the restaurant is very nice but I would highly recommend you request a table on the patio with a spectacular view of the harbor and the surrounding 19th century architecture. I had the "los locos" which is a Chilean dish of tenderized abalone served with sauce and mayo. You won't find anything like it back home in los estados unidos, so order some and feel cultured. I also suggest the razor clams, which are clams baked with an alarming amount of parmesan cheese on top. Pair your food with a coffee or an obnoxiously affordable white wine from the Casablanca region of Chile and your seaside culinary adventure is complete.

The server made some amazing recommendations and I had an eggplant pasta with an amazing cream sauce. The bread served before the meal were also unique and delicious.

We had a busy day exploring Valpo and Vina del Mar, and we simply wanted to spend our last hour in Chile drinking pisco sour. Stumbling upon SaborColor was such a wonderful coincidence. The restaurant is located a little bit up the hill in Cerro Concepcion in beautifully renovated house. The ambiance is warm and woody, the walls decorated with quite impressive paintings for sale, jazz music playing in the background. The most important thing, they make pisco sours, all kind of them. Our cocktails were the best we had in Chile. I started with the classical one and switched to the ginger version, both were so well balanced and subtle. I wish I could stay longer and have more versions of it. Certainly a place to stop by for a drink and more! Salud!
