Mastodonte
The place is cool. Decorated with busts of prehistoric animals and Jurassic-type vegetation.
Panchito
Another take on the Lomito Italiano at Panchito in Valparaiso.
La Fauna Restaurant
Sweeping views with tasty dishes.
Guria
I was on my way to Empanadas Famosas when Guria caught my eye.
Galindo
Galindo is a laid back and casual spot to try out traditional Chilean food.
Hogs Salchicheria
Salchichas (aka hot dogs) are what’s happening here and you get to choose from a variety of tubes to dress up the way you want to.
Liguria
A Chilean bistro with great ambience and good food. I had the chicken al pil pil which is a hot bowl of chicken with a light broth. Bread and salsa was served to start.
Emporio Zunino in Mercado Central
On my visit to this market my plan was to nosh on some seafood at one of the restaurants lining the exterior of the market.
Mercado Central
El Mercado Central is largely a place to find fresh seafood but meat, cheese, bread and pastry shops can also be found.
Cafe Haiti
I had a cortada doble at Cafe Haiti. This fine establishment is a part of the coffee culture in Santiago known as “coffee with legs” or “cafe con piernas”.
Lomito Italiano at Fuente Alemana
For locals and tourists alike Fuente Alemana is the go-to for a sandwich lunch.
The Library is Open…
…and it’s serving cocktails.
El Farolito
El Farolito is a must each time I visit San Francisco.
Puerto Alegre
When I swing through San Francisco I have to grab a combination plate or the tacos especiales at this classic Mexican restaurant in the center of the Mission district.
Eisenberg’s Sandwich
Grab a seat at the bar to be close to all the action in the kitchen and to take in the original decor dating back to 1929.
