The restaurant is large which allows for bigger groups but also small intimate gatherings.

It was by far the busiest restaurant on the beach. It's elevated terrace allows you feet an amazing view overlooking the water and the town strip. We saw scuba divers getting ready to leave and kayaks (there's a vendor on the beach where you can do tours or rent gear). My sister is allergic to seafood and they had large chicken portions as an option for her which was great. The pisco sour was delicious as well. The area has good seafood soup so that's what I got and it was a good mix of all the local seafood. The salmon was amazing as well. The service is friendly and kind of funny. They have one large chalk board with the daily menu that changes and drag it over to your table for you to order. They don't speak English here.

First we had an outstanding waiter by the name of George. George gave us his recommendations as my wife and I wanted true Chilean Seafood. First we started with the seasoned garlic with spices shrimp. These were based on butter and chili. This was an excellent appetizer to start. We then ordered the Chilean Sea Bass with a tomato sauce and it did not disappoint. If you are in the area I would highly recommend this restaurant for the service and food!

This review is for the restaurant only. Cap Ducal is a hotel and restaurant from 1936 built to…read moreresemble an ocean liner. It's that cool looking building I've driven by for 40 years and always said, "One of these days, I must go in and check it out" . Yesterday was that day, Thursday 8/15, which is a religious and civic holiday in Chile. We rolled in about 14:30 for lunch. There is a parking lot, which is attended by your typical Chilean street parker who points to a spot, guides you in, offers to wash your car and lives off tips. Outside there is a sign, a bit faded, that shows some of the dishes with pictures. (useful and accurate enough) The receptionist asked if we had a reservation, we did not, informed us there were two tables available, pointed them out, and asked which table we wanted. Old school Chilean waitstaff was fairly prompt, got our drinks out with small tapas (complementary) , took our orders and then brought out the bread. Our food was out pretty quick. I had the Congrio Cap Ducal, which the menu says is griddled conger fish with an erizo sauce with shellfish. The sauce was good. It didn't have overpowering sea urchin. Actually, I would have never guessed it had sea urchin. Fabulous dish. Our threesome had 3 main courses, 2 pisco sours and a cherimoya juice, a half bottle of wine and 1 desert for 97,000 plus tip, so USD 35-40 per person without a starter. On the way out the receptionist was not in front but in the hotel office, so I assume the restaurant does a lunch shift and a dinner shift and closes the restaurant in between. The building is old, perhaps dated but that is the point. If you updated it you ruin it. Lots of old photos and maritime memorabilia, think trans Atlantic steamer of the early 20th century, lots of wood and brass. The posted hotel prices were like USD 110 per night, pretty modest for a seaside hotel. Come for the history, stay for a meal.

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!

There's a steep flight of stairs on the side to get to restaurant on the second floor. Some outdoor seating with heat lamp. There's no English menu like everyone else in the area, but the waiter was very patient to explain the dishes even he doesn't speak English and show me the pictures. I had the seafood tasting platter comes with two empanadas some grilled prawn and I think the other is smock salmon paste with seaweed chips. The empanada is huge but mostly filled with cheese not much shrimp. There are three pieces of prawn really big but they are pre frozen not fresh, the meat falls apart. This is pretty pricy for this amount of food at this quality. A bit disappointing. I give 2 stars for their good service. Don't recommend their food based on the quality.

We had been traveling bus, plane, and car for more than 8 hours and the wife was quite HANGRY since she hadn't eaten for more than 12 hours and the restaurant that we were supposed to have dinner at already closed for the night. Definitely a very delicate situation! Mar de Amores happened to be nearby and we had a very lovely dinner outside in their patio. We shared large seafood platter served on a plancha with octopus, salmon, and mussels. We also had a large hearts of palm salad and an order of the local shellfish broiled with Parmesan cheese. A couple glasses of wine and all was good. The menu was in Spanish but the the waiters spoke good English and we were able to order very easily.

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!

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!).

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.

On a previous visit went with the surface and the steak was great. There is standard bread service that is served with a delicious side of salmon dip. We had several desserts. These were ok but don't recommend any of the ones we had. Had both Chile and Peru style pisco sour. The Peruvian style was a bit better. The service was attentive but kitchen was very slow. Lots of ocean front tables. Great for large groups as well as romantic evening for two.

Absolutely Amazing Seafood & Service - A Must in Viña del Mar!…read moreI had one of the best meals of my trip at Donde Willy. The seafood was out of this world--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The machas a la parmesana were the perfect start, rich and savory with just the right crisp. The sea urchins were incredibly fresh, with a delicate sweetness that melted in the mouth, and the sea bass was cooked perfectly--tender, flaky, full of flavor. What really made the experience even better was the service. Our waiter Denick was absolutely outstanding--attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. He gave great recommendations and made us feel truly welcomed. You could tell he really cares about the guests having a great time. The atmosphere was relaxed and cozy, perfect for enjoying such high-quality food. If you're in Viña del Mar and love seafood, this place is a must. I'll definitely be coming back!
