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.
