Bar de Pisco is a small yet modern bar with a cozy vibe in Cerro Alegre. If you make your way here, I recommend the Apiado, it is the cocktail they are best known for - a meticulously made cocktail with fresh mashed celery, lemon juice, simple syrup, crushed ice and pisco distilled twice. The bartender is the Maradona of Pisco -- he literally knows all there is about Pisco. He can help you chose the perfect cocktail to start your night depending on what you are in the mood for - savory or sweet. The staff is super nice as they joke around all night and are full of interesting conversations and stories to keep your night entertaining. I recommend sitting at the bar because the bartender will give you the good "insider tips" on where to go in Valpo and what to see. You may also want to try the variety of artesian pisco shots. You can setup your own pisco tasting with different types of pisco from all over Chile. Plus, the bartender will patiently explain where each pisco comes from and its different flavors of the pisco you have chosen. If pure shots aren't your style, the menu is filled with all different types of cocktails (all made from pisco -- even some including merkén and miel de palma!) Tip: The menu is always changing based on the season, so what you had last year might not currently be on the menu -- but always ask even if you don't see it! There is very limited seating (the bar can probably sit around 20 people and mostly at the bar) They open at 7:30pm every day, so this is a great place to come with friends after a long day of exploring Valpo.

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!

Fun, colorful neighborhood up a (relatively) easy hill from downtown. The food seemed like a modern blend of Chilean, Italian, Seafood, and Peruvian items. I had a steak on shrimp-sauce rice, and it was delicious. The rice was so flavorful and rich it didn't even need the steak to be a complete dish. Our daughter had salmon, which was very fresh and perfectly cooked. We ate early (by Chilean standards), so I can't testify to what the scene or service are like when it's busier.

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.

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!

Overall the food was good and the flavors while mild did have a nice variety. As a result of being on a tourist street the prices were really high, just about the highest we have seen in Chile. Considering all the other cool hole in the wall restaurants in the area I was really surprised at the price. This also likely explains the lack of people eating here. In terms off the staff and seating everything was great. They have both indoor and outdoor tables. They were playing a mix of Spanish and English music videos from the 80s, which was quite entertaining. Overall, I think the quality of food was good but the value is not at the level that would bring us back.

Personally, I prefer that it remains a hidden gem for as long as possible. It's also located right next to an Ascensor. First off, you walk in and the decor is just amazing. They took their time to integrate historical info. of the space and added their modern touch. The inside has a lot of exposed brick which I can appreciate. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor patio seating. The service here is pretty awesome too. I highly recommend before leaving this place, buying some of the great souvenirs available. From a bottle of freshly brewed beer, beer opener, etched glassware, etc. the beer and food here is equally fantastic. Definetely give this place an A+.
