A lovely find in the Bellavista sector of Santiago. I Ubered from my hotel to this great little place. The Uber drive dropped me off in front of an entryway and told me to walk through the doorway and there I would find my restaurant. Once you walk in, you'll find a courtyard with various restaurants and establishments. Barrica 94 is located on the right side, immediately behind the Starbucks. I got there very early - around 4pm - and the place was deserted. Too late for lunch and too early for dinner. I chose a table just outside the glass wall since the weather was temperate, and it afforded me shade. My server was very responsive. A wine flight seemed to be the way to start. I ordered the Ensamblaje Tinto which consisted of 4 full reds: 1. Capricho, Viña La Prometida, a 2016 Merlo from Caucquenes. This was a very light red, but tasty nonetheless. The server put them in order from light to fullest, so it was a good start. 2. Andes Plateau, Cota 500, a 2016 Cab Sav from Maipo. Medium body with a hint of spice. I'd definitely order this again. 3. Undurraga, T.H., a 2015 Carmenere from Chachapoal. Full body red and very delicious. 4. Vik, Mila Cala, a 2013 Cab Sav/Carmenere/Cab Franc/Merlot/Syrah. Rich red with fantastic legs. Definitely the best of the bunch! With the first two wines, I ate grilled octopus (Pulpo Grillado), which was soft and sweet on the inside with just a hint of crunch on the outside. Served with a balsamic drizzle and a herb sauce. Had I ordered it for my main meal with a few sides, I would have been very satisfied. But I needed to try at least one other thing on the menu. I ordered the Tuna steak Tartar (Tartare de Atún) which was perfectly cooked; just slightly seared on the outside. Encrusted with ground pistachios, it has a sweet flavor thanks to the passion fruit and avocado dressing. The portion was very generous. It comes with a side, and I ordered French fries which were homemade and yummy. I'm sure it's a busy place at night considering the great food and the wine selections. Be sure to include Barrica 94 on your tour of Santiago. You won't regret it!
Good food, good wine, and service. Barrica 94 offers multiple flights of 4 wines; each around $15. I ordered the Tinto flight and tasted 4 Chilean red wines; all were great, but my favorite was the merlot. I also had the ensalada Color which was a huge salad with grains, beet chips, avocado, chia seeds, artichoke hearts, and avocado lemon dressing. Yum! I rounded it off with a chocolate ice cream cake like dessert called semifreddo. This restaurant is a bit more expensive than my budget for the day, but I enjoyed it.
We honestly only came here for the wine but ended up getting some appetizers as well. They suggested we sit downstairs bc upstairs was busy with one server and we would receive quicker service downstairs but our service was still slow. We had to ask about our order a couple times. It was three of us and we each decided to get a flight of four wines, both reds and whites, and shared them. My sister ordered seafood empanadas which were deliciously saucy but a little salty. My cousin ordered French fries which are always good. I ordered fried octopus and fried shrimp. It didn't have much flavor. It tasted like they battered the coating but didn't season it. If you're looking to sample some wines come here and get a flight.
Another must-stop wine bar in Bellavista (a seemingly common occurrence). Tuesday night, not too packed inside, so we were able to get nice seats next to the window on the second floor. Dimly lit interior and perfect for conversation. When I see wine flights, I take it. Ordered the "Expresion de Tintos..." ($10.000pesos) - a flight of strong reds from the area with varying flavors. Thankfully we got free bread to start, which allowed some soaking time before receiving our main course. The main meal was the Salmon Cancato ($10.700pesos); a baked filet of salmon with cheese, tomato, and sausage on top. Tasted similar to a casserole with the broth on the bottom allowing for no dryness in the meat. A free side is accompanied with the dish, so ordered the Wheatberry & Mushroom risotto - sauteed well and added a different texture to the salmon. Service here started off well - later on however, they changed waiters and it took a while to get a dessert menu and the bill. If a little overwhelmed by the options in this plaza, this is the best bet from what we've seen.
Awesome restaurant in Patio Bellavista! We came here for lunch after wandering around Bellavista. The server spoke English pretty well and recommended me a really good carmenere wine. We ordered razor clams, shrimp pil pil, cognac chicken w/ seafood polenta and a beef dish (that I cann't remember either the English or Spanish name of) w/ mushroom risotto. The razor clams were a little bit of a disappointment. It came in 2 flavors - pesto and parmesan. The pesto flavor was very overwhelming, so I preferred the parmesan ones but not by much. The clams honestly didn't taste the freshest. However, the shrimp pil pil was very good so I would definitely recommend that as an appetizer over the razor clams. The sauce that the shrimp came in was the bombbb and full of garlic (I'm a garlic lover). The cognac chicken was delicious. The chicken was tender and the broth tasted like a saltier/stronger version of a chicken soup. I would not recommend that you drink the broth by itself because it's pretty intense, but it goes great with the chicken. The seafood polenta that we ordered to accompany the chicken dish was also very flavorful. The beef dish was average. The broth that it came in was way too salty, but the beef chunks itself were not bad. I honestly thought the mushroom risotto that I got as a side dish was better than the dish itself.
We came here two days in a row for some wine, tapas, and "vacation" fries! The vibes of this restaurant were amazing. It has two floors including awesome interiors with a floor to ceiling wine wall and outdoor patio on both floors overlooking the popular Bella Vista arts district. This place, as well as all the patio restaurant and shops in this district are great for people watching, drinking and wondering around! They have a pretty extensive selection of wines, flights and other alcohol besides wine. The food menu looked fabulous if we hadn't JUST eaten at Bocanariz. I would definitely come back here. I am updating my review because we came back the next day and had good. We had te tartar, papas fritas and the BEST beef, shitaki/cheese empanadas I've EVER had. This was a fabulous place to day drink/snack and people watch. We had Juliana as our waitress and she was amazing! I 100% recommend going here in Barrio BellaVista.
Excellent wine selection. Try a flight to select the right wine. Mine was the Chilean Red Flight. Tapas are great, as is the main dishes. Outdoor seating is wonderful and service great.
Barrica Barrica Barrica! We came to Chile for wine tasting at vineyards but who knew that you could even do them at restaurants as well! We stopped here just for lunch and ended up do a full tasting! There were a few wines I wasn't particularly fond of but that happens when you do tastings. My favorite was a Pinot Grigio, a Cabernet Sauvignon, and a Rose. The Rose was high on my list because it's spring back home. Overall it was a great restaurant. We just stopped for calamari and fries and drank wine! We even forgot the pics of the food
Chilean specialties and an impressive selection of wine, in an unpretentious yet elegant ambiance. Located within a shopping center, Barrica occupies two floors and has indoor and outdoor seating on both levels. The menu is varied, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. We sat on the outdoor patio on the second floor and were forced to endure some really horrible live music for about 30 minutes (two ladies doing acoustic covers of 90's hits), but after they left, the ambiance was pleasant. Every day since arriving in Chile, I have enviously watched people enjoying Corn Pies, a traditional dish of baked corn pudding, reminiscent of shepherds pie. They are traditionally made with beef, so I was thrilled to find a fully vegan version here made with mushroom and quinoa. It was everything I hoped for and more-sweet, savory, salty and creamy. Every bite was an explosion of flavor and a truly special treat. My boyfriend and I shared a wine flight, which is a good option if you want to try a variety of Chilean wines without drinking a lot. I also got a side salad, which was huge and very fresh, with plenty of avocado. My boyfriend got ceviche and said it was just okay. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely a solid choice for a casual meal in Santiago.
This place is very much like Bocanariz - my favorite restaurant in Santiago. It is a wine bar with an extensive wine collection and helpful English speaking waiters to explain things to you and help with food pairing suggestions. We ordered a bottle of cab, and they seasoned the decanter, and used a decanter instead of just leaving the bottle, as other restaurants often do. We ordered an appetizer set with empanadas (amazing. three types: one with an almost goat-y tasting gouda, one with a soft brie-type of cheese with nuts, one with mixed veggies. Each comes with a special sauce. The first one was paired with a caramelized onion sauce. absolutely perfect) and montaditos (bites of heaven, amazing tapas). We also ordered the seafood pasta and the lamp lasagna with the mushroom risotto as a side. All of them were just OK to good. The seafood pasta could have more flavor, the lasagna was a bit dry and the cheese was overwhelming, and the risotto was also dry and not creamy. But the appetizer was so good that I didn't even mind.
Loved this casual, hip restaurant in Bellavista Patio. I made a meal of three appetizers, all of them first/rate. Oysters were cold and fresh, with a spicy cucumber vinaigrette. Shrimp Pil Pil, one of my new favorite Chilean dishes, was spicy, with sauce begging for bread dipping -- sort of like Soanish escargot. Still hungry, I ordered grilled octopus, which could have been more tender but was nevertheless delicious in a mild green sauce. They have an enormous wine list, with over 30 offerings by the glass. I had Sauvignon Gris with the oysters and shrimp -- perfect -- and Gewurtztraminer with the octopus, also a winner. Since it was my last night in Santiago I sprang for dessert-- dark chocolate semifreddo, rich and delicioso.

This restaurant operates under a new name, but a comparison of the menus revealed similar items. I'd still give it high ratings. The food and service were excellent, I'm my humble opinion. read more

I had dinner at Barrica 94 in May 2017. I was seated on the outside deck on the upper level, overlooking the Patio Bella Vista mall. I ordered the atún sellado, seared tuna, encrusted with panko crumbs and herbs ($9.900). I received an ample portion, perfectly seared on the outside, rare in the interior, beautifully plated on a bed of mushroom risotto. For dessert, I enjoyed a delicious leche asada, a lemon-cinnamon custard with dulce de leche sauce ($3.900). Including the Coke Zero ($1.700), the meal cost $15.500, or $17.050 (about US$25.35) with the 10% tip. I highly recommend Barrica 94. read more

Modern well lit restaurant serving a range of tasty and fresh meat and fish dishes with numerous sides. Service is friendly, prompt and accommodating. On one night they made the shell food pasta dish vegetarian to suit our mood with not a moment of hesitation. They have a good selection of wine as well as some acceptable craft beers in bottles. It's also quiet which is a welcome respite to the loud music that permeates the neighborhood. read more

I may be biased, but it was perhaps the best contemporary food I had in Chile. I was with the Duke CCMBA program and we ate here for the beer and wine club. We had a 8 course meal with 12 wines, and I had to say it was amazing!! The vegetarians had their own 8 course menu that blew their minds. I have to say if you want contemporary food in a contemporary country, this place is it!! read more

Good fusion food. The place looks very upscale and great for romantic dinner or bigger party. Service is good and food is tasty. For a two we ordered a mussel soup in saffron broth, northern salad ( quinoa tinted with squid ink, lettuce, avocado and buttered squid), tender beef Raghu with side of rustic vegetables and two Chilean beers ( fantastic taste). The bill came about $42USD tips included. Little bit on pricier side but well worth it. read more

From the moment we walked in to the door (we wanted to check out the menu first), the manager was very amiable and helpful in answering any questions. The waitress offered us a seat on the balcony, which was great. We then ordered a Chilean Breeze which has huesillo (a local drink containing peaches and wheat) and is Aaaaaamazing :) the food was delicious- we had mixed ceviche (squid, shrimp, octopus, fish - great), razor clams (good), shrimp pil pil (okay), Chilean salad - tomatoes, onions, peppers, citrus dressing (fresh), and Mushroom risotto (the MVP), then another Chilean breeze #2! :) We had a flight to catch but we could have easily spent the rest of the evening there. recommend if you're in Santiago for a few days or even just a long layover as we were. read more
This slightly fancier restaurant in Santiago serves delicious contemporary Chilean food! It's located in a wonderful area of the city filled with restaurants.The outdoor seating below and above on the terrace is lovely. And for the quality of the food, which is more high end, the prices are rather reasonable ($20-30 per person). Between my friend and I, we tried the mixed ceviche fresca, grilled octopus, tuna tartare, pumpkin cream soup, chocolate mousse cake, and a few other items. Everything was divine and the passionfruit sauce that came with the tuna tartare was unique and flavorful. The chocolate cake for dessert was exactly on point. Service was much better here than other places in Latin America. English menus available. Would definitely give this restaurant a shot if you are visiting Santiago! read more

Came here for a team dinner, they were great!!!! They had 2-3 people helping us so things moved pretty fast! The food was great, big portions! I had the Seafood Pasta, I ate all the Seafood but couldn't finish the meal! We sat outside on the top floor which was nice... But smoky because people around us smoked! read more

Barrica 94 is located in the upscale Patio Bellavista and features a mix of classic Chilean and pan- South American dishes. The food is just average but the leisurely and friendly service lends itself to pairing few small dishes with their wide selection of wines. It was also nice to see a few vegetarian options, including pastel de choclo. I suggest sticking to less expensive dishes and splurging on the wine. read more
