Restaurant Fauna offers one of the most beautiful dining settings in Valparaíso, with fantastic…read morepanoramic views of the bay that are worth the visit on their own. 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.
