At the entrance of Lastarria, and half a block from metro La Católica, Cantábrico can easily be…read moreoverlooked amongst the hustle and bustle of Alameda. However, once I was introduced to Cantábrico by some friends, this has become one of my go-to bars to watch any Chilean game or to share a pitcher with friends after our Friday soccer games in San Borja park. This simple traditional Chilean"sandwicheria" is a classic on Alameda and its loyal clientele (a mix of students, older men and football fanatics) make it known, as on any given evening their booths are filled. Although there is nothing particularly special about this pub, you can always count on having a great sandwich and fries (they have vegetarian options) and a cold national beer to wash it down. The servers are friendly and the food and drinks come out fast. My favorite part of Cantábrico is knowing that whenever there is a good game on, the pub will be filled to the brim (many people just stand) with local fans cheering (this is a good way to learn many of the Chilean cheers for "la roja").

Perfecto! If you are visiting Chile, or have one in your local area. This is a must have.read more

Very disappointing sushi. Rolls are made with more rice than the main stuff. In my case salmon…read moreshrimp and avocado... Most of the rolls seem to have cream cheese. Maybe it's a chile thing but it kills the rolls. Variety and selection of rolls poor. I ordered the Japanese dumplings and they were equally disappointing. Cold and soft... assumed it's precooked earlier in the day. If you notice in my pic the salmon is thin as a sheet of paper and the rolls are boring. To top it off the sake taste like a fruit juice. Maybe as I said it's a Chilean thing. But I have eaten sushi in every city I travelled and this was the worst. Even in remote china I have eaten better sushi.

Acogedor local con una comida distribución de mesas. Personal amable y atento…read more Sobre el sushi, muy bueno .... Pero MUY lento en la preparación. Éramos un grupo de 6 y pedimos varios rolls tanto de los tradicionales, tempura y fusión... Todos bien preparados y presentados pero con una espera de aproximadamente 40 minutos desde que solicitamos hasta que llegaron (y eso que es domingo por la tarde y el local estaba bastante desocupado). Aparte de la demora, nada mas negativo. Recomiendo si vas con paciencia.
