We just visited this place last March. I had walked past it many times in the past en route to…read moreanother establishment. A friend of ours invited us here for coffee. Such a great place. See I love coffee a great deal. I appreciate the fact that my coffee was served in a homey looking ceramic mug. The whole place has a homey vibe going. Seating is limited but they do their best to accommodate groups. There's a local Street artist that paints dogs and cats freehand and he's responsible for a lot of the artwork in here. The artist is pretty damn amazing and he charges almost nothing for his work. This place also hands you a napkin and colored markers to draw your own piece of art and they'll even let you tape it up on their walls. Very cool coffee and tea spot. Like others stated. They do serve sandwiches and other small meals. Check it out.

This is a tough one. At various points throughout dinner I was undecided between 3 and 5 stars but…read moreultimately settled on 4 because of the dessert. My friend and I stopped in here after 10 PM on a Saturday night (an early dinner time here) and we were the only other table. It may as well have been a private dining experience. The only other table in the joint left shortly after we arrived. This is a very small restaurant located in a boutique hotel with an even smaller menu. Eight tables indoors. Three outdoors. Two appetizers. Three main dishes. Two desserts. That said, this place is not for everyone. If you don't like what they're serving, you're not going to enjoy your experience. I wanted to start with the squid, but they were out so they offered me scallops instead, which came out in a delicious gravy that would pair perfectly with Thanksgiving. My friend got the only other option, the ceviche, and we shared and very much enjoyed both. The ceviche was served in a coconut curry sauce with cilantro and peppers. The fish was rockfish, which was also the same fish they served as the main course and the one he ordered. He said the main course rockfish was the best fish he's ever had in a restaurant. I tend to agree. For context, he owns fishing boats and his family is in the seafood business. Don't take his comments lightly. The risotto they served with the dish with goat cheese was also something out of Thanksgiving dinner. Absolutely delicious. And the mustard sauce served with the fish was not too potent, but also not even necessary. The fish on its own needed no sauce to enjoy the flavor. I foolishly opted for the osso bucco and wished I hadn't after trying his fish. It's not that the meat was bad. But it wasn't very tender and it was served with the same exact sauce as the scallops. I assumed when they ran out of squid and offered me scallops instead, they felt that they needed some sauce for the scallops, so they used the same sauce served with the osso bucco. In fairness, this is a very small restaurant, so I can sympathize with their limits, but perhaps a beurre blanc sauce should have been the choice for the scallops. After all, the chef trained in France and what restaurant doesn't have butter and white wine? Speaking of wine, that's about your only choice here next to a few beers. My friend unsuccessfully tried to order a cocktail with gin. He then suggested they make the same cocktail with vodka. No vodka. So they brought out a bottle of Glenfiddich, as if that was even close, but that's ultimately what he settled on. For dessert, we split the only two options they had: an apple strudel with a delicious praline ice cream, I believe, and the chocolate fondant (which was basically a brownie) with a lemon-ish sorbet. Both sprinkled with the same grains, but both so damn good. We considered ordering another round of desserts but our stomachs told us no. Good coffee, too, even though I think it came out a simple commercially available single serve machine. Outstanding service as well, topped off by the chef coming out of the kitchen to ask how we were enjoying our meals. I love it when that happens. If not for some of the understandable repetition we saw and tasted throughout the meal, or the almost too-limited menu, I think I'd be at 5 stars. But overall, the service, the ambiance and much of the food were just too good to give 3.

Small 8-10 tables restaurants with typical Chilean food refined by a French touch as the chef…read morelived abroad in France for a while. Food was delicately cooked - the abalone dish and ceviche were both tasty and both main dishes (happens to be both a white fish) were pan seared and cooked well. There were 2 choices per course (appetizer /main / dessert) and are priced a la carte ($10-$12 appetizer and $20-$25 for main). I think the quality is great for the price. The decor was minimalist yet contemporary in a small dining room setting. No view, so I would recommend to have dinner here one night and at cafe torrin for the next night.

Best cheesecake I have had in Chile! (It really deserves 5 exclamation points, but I don't want to…read morebe that girl...) They offer two different flavors of cheesecake one with fudge-like chocolate and the other with a berry topping. What makes this cheesecake really stand out from the others is the rich, creamy, filling (only attained by those who use quality ingredients and the right amount of cream cheese). Although I could go on forever about their cheesecake, they also offer both sweet and savory options. The owner and the other bakers use all natural and as many fresh ingredients as possible. The idea is to use the least amount of preservatives as possible. Pasteleria Sinfonia del Sabor boasts rich flavors, fresh ingredients and a unique style. They make all of their pastries and breads in house. Their store, although small, is filled top-to-bottom with different all natural delicacies that won't break the bank. The prices range from 1.450 for a slice of cake to 2.500 for a loaf of bread. I also recommend their carrot cake. It was moist, with spices and fresh carrot slices and manjar - perfect to accompany it with a hot cup of tea. The only down side is that the store, because of how small it is, is made more to pick up treats to-go than to enjoy them there. They only have one table with 2 chairs if you are lucky enough to find them unoccupied. Tip: They offer gluten-free options upon request. Most of their pastries has a vegan option, that is just as delicious (they either use vegetable oil, apple sauce or other natural ingredients to make up for the lack of buttermilk, eggs or milk) They also offer made to order pies, cakes among other things. I know where I will be getting my birthday cake next year!

Your best bet is to come on a weeknight, particularly now (during the troubles causing the social and political unrest throughout the country and particularly this area) and via taxi since the Baquedano metro stop is no longer in existence. A few months ago (before the troubles started), a group of friends and I tried to come here on a Saturday night around 10:30 p.m. Bad idea. There are no reservations and it is first-come, first-served. That was no problem for us because there are so many great restaurants and bars in this neighborhood, but fast-forward to last week when I had a friend from the U.S. visiting for her first time ever. She spent the daytime taking the funicular, touring the zoo, and taking a walking tour. Regrettably, I had not been on the Metro since early October 2019, before all the upheaval began, so I was very late in arriving to meet her thanks to the protests, riot police blocking the streets, and general mayhem just down the street from here. She didn't seem to mind--she found her way to the restaurant and snagged a great table (there really are no bad seats here, but the tables along the railing are the best for taking photos of the cityscape). Once I arrived (badly in need of a drink for all the traumas I just witnessed minutes earlier on my walk), I was absolutely stunned by the beauty, calm, and serenity of this spot. You would have no idea there was a quasi-civil war being fought just down the road. We sat and talked for hours over pisco, wine, and empanadas. I pointed out the various sights around us, including La Chascona, the home of Chilean poet laureate Pablo Neruda, which is named after his mistress-turned-wife, Matilde (hence, the name of the restaurant). Luckily, we came at the perfect time and caught the sunset, which was lovely. If you need to get away from the bustle of the city (or fiery, tear-gas-filled protests), this is the spot for you. It was therapeutic for me that evening and I'll definitely be back (via Uber, not the Metro).

I went here ignoring the rating because I specifically wanted a sunset view (and it did NOT disappoint). We ordered drinks, 2 starters and elected to share a main dish so that we could order 2 desserts. The cerviche was ok. I have only had better cerviche once in Santiago, but I was still disappointed that there wasn't more tang and the fish was a little fishy. The quinoa salad was good. Nicely presented with a delicious tangy dressing. Very fresh. I ordered 2 drinks, the first a piece pomelo tonic which even with the waiter's advice when ordering I still found too sweet. But he brought me an extra shot of lemon juice and I was really surprised how much I ended up loving this drink. Then I tried a Traditional Mojito made with Flor De Caña 4 rum (because I love rum). I ordered this to be much less sweet than the standard, but it still arrived a bit sweet for me. Nicely presented- I love dried citrus as garnish that's all the rage now! Main dish: sesame encrusted barely seared tuna. If I hadn't eaten so much truly fresh tuna,(diluted in front of me) I could have mistaken this for fresh tuna. Quite nice. And then dessert... actually the desert blew me away. I've been to some very "fancy" restaurants in this past 2 weeks in Argentina & Chile but this was my favourite dessert: quinoa tres leches. It was phenomenal! And gluten free! Like the whole rest of the menu you may have noticed. The second dessert I personally didn't care for but found it interesting and different, and my friend that ordered it absolute loved it. Raves about it. It was a cream made of fruit I hadn't heard of and have unfortunately forgotten with meringue and fresh mandarins. There was even a raw vegan option! (Which I didn't try). Very easy to back gate this menu if you're gluten free or dairy free or have other eating difficulties. I highly rate this place, and the view just sets it over the top.did I mention that I loved the desserts and considered ordering more? They didn't look the part, but they really delivered.
