We loved this quirky hipster Chilean restaurant so much from the kitchy arcade to the amazing…read morecocktails and seafood. The octopus appetizer was particularly spectacular. Note that the portions are not particularly large, the prices are not particularly low, and the decor not at all new if that kind of thing is important to you - but it is truly charming, quirky, fun and delicious. It was one of our favorite nights out coming here, and we even played a game at the arcade after supper, although it closed very shortly after that, so come early if you really want to spend time at the arcade. IMPORTANT NOTE: ONLY OPEN ON WEEKENDS. (We tried to go during the week and failed, but we came back and were so glad we did!)

A very unique restaurant located in the shadow of a cathedral. When we visited it was a pretty slow…read moreWednesday. I'm sure it gets very busy due to the area and atmosphere. We started out with the Caramelized Goat Cheese Salad. We can not recommend this enough! Delicious and fresh and light. We ordered the Filet Sautéed in Gnocchi and the Filet Sheet. If it wasn't rude to lick our plates clean we would have!

We actually just turned around and left. We approached the waiter (a young guy with a shaved head…read moreand tattoos on his neck and head). He responded with zero eye contact and appeared irritated that I was asking for a table. He simply said "there are no tables outside." Not cool, guys.

A couple months ago, a girlfriend of mine had recommended La Resistencia to me so I filed it away…read moreunder my long list of "cafes to try" and then totally forgot about it - that is until last week when I came here with a friend. We came for breakfast and had an overall great experience with friendly service and good food! La Resistencia offers a little bit of everything, but by far my favorite is their breakfast menu. They have a kickass egg menu that is served with hollandaise sauce *mouth watering-ly good* and toast. You can choose between vegetarian options like the fried onions and tomatoes (English breakfast style) or spinach and cheese to the meat eater bacon, ham or even meatballs! The best part is that their eggs are free-range and hormone-free! Besides their great egg breakfast, they have a good selection of teas as well as quality coffee - a perfect pairing to your breakfast. Although I haven't tried it, I saw they have what look to be delicious hamburgers and sandwiches plus a unique daily soup option. The sandwiches and hamburgers that were being served around us looked very tasty so I will definitely be coming back to take my partner here and confirm if the looks stack up to the taste. Since La Resistencia is located in the popular and very chic Drugstore gallery, we finished our breakfast and decided to "walk it off" by exploring the unique shops with local artesian designs and products.

This is a great, safe bet when choosing a bar. They have good food, delicious drinks and an even…read morebetter happy hour (hint: it lasts all night long). full disclosure: I have bar-tendered here in the past However, because of this, I know all the secrets for example: Do: get anything with french fries Don't: sit inside (unless you are super cold or seriously bothered by the smoke from the smokers) Do: Ask a waiter for a seat. Even if you don't see a free table inside, most likely the administrator will set you up with a table. This family owned bar (both the son and father work here together) is great for relaxed nights out with friends, happy hour with colleagues or the "previa" before going to Subterranneo. My favorite drink is has to be their Daquiris. They are made with real fruit juice, rum and sugar. You can also ask for it to be made without sugar. Tip: The hostess should offer you empanadas on the house and sometimes free pisco sours...if they don't say anything, ask and you shall receive! You can also rent their upstairs/the whole bar for birthday parties or private events. People even rent it out for discos! Just talk to the administrator and he will help you coordinate.

For me, this is a "must eat here" destination in Santiago, Chile. Great central location in the…read morecity, with interior and exterior shaded seating. Perfect for a hot summer visit in December or January! The food was terrific, I enjoyed a delicately flavored Coronation Chicken starter followed by a tender, tasty entre of beef with green lentils and delicious warm beetroot. The home made lemonade is worth ordering as well. Spanish and English language menus available for the lingusitically challenged (like me)! We were given a wonderfully warm reception by Cecile Latham-Koenig. You won't regret eating here, you'll be talking about how much you enjoyed the experience.

There's one pizza that has some spicy peppers on it, which are actually super spicy - probably enough to kill most Chileans (although I appreciated the spice!).
