It looks like a Victorian era style with the wide checkered floors and moody dark tone interior. All to say, the ambiance is a chíc. The food was delicious and paired well with the local red wine was a little sweet and light, Cabernet. The ribeye steak Chileneo cut was delicious with just a little bit of fat skin but not enough for it be annoying to eat around. The pork slaughter was perfectly cooked and tender. The corn side dish was delicious as well. The octopus... if you like seafood this is a must!

The back patio area at Casaluz is dreamlike and absolutely gorgeous: after a long day of walking in the hot Santiago sun, a few pisco sours in the garden was nothing short of pure bliss. The cocktails are extraordinary and made with obvious understanding and expertise; even the most basic and common drink here is superb. The food at Casaluz is current, and they put a lot of thought into presentation. Ingredients are fresh and diverse, and their salads are especially enticing. Because they offer tapas, you can sample a wide range of flavors, but the croquetas de jamon Ibérico were my favorite dish. An absolute gem that delivers on service, food, drinks, and especially ambiance. A must if you're in Santiago!

It's a Spanish tapas place, so they've got Spanish tortilla, patatas bravas, and other shareable small plates on the menu. They also have a few options of ceviche, including a salmon one that was pretty tasty. We also ordered the tortilla which was huge and the prosciutto plate. We also got some pisco sours to go with our food. The food was tasty - especially the ceviche. The ambiance was great and the service was excellent. I checked out the inside and sitting outside in the sidewalk area is much better! Cheers!

El Txoko Alaves is best when you come in a group. They serve excellent Spanish tapas that you won't want to skip and in order to try as many as possible, I recommend coming with friends and family to get a little taste of everything. They serve wild boar (jabalí) which is delicious as well as suckling pig (cochinillo, seriously yum!) and boquerones, a dish from the south of Spain which is basically fresh anchovies (recommended by the waiter). They have a great bar with a comfortable and almost mysterious atmosphere that makes you want to start drinking their excellent sangria as soon as you get seated. Tip: They don't only serve tapas but also main dishes which include their menu del dia. It starts at 12:30pm and for 13 mil you get a 3 course meal plus either a glass of wine, pisco sour or beer and a coffee or tea! Call and make a reservation, especially at lunch time because this place fills up!

They gave us English menus and really went out of their way to be sure we got what we thought we ordered. The atmosphere was amazing. Great original artwork everywhere and lovely background music in a clean environment. The seafood was superb. The. Chef definitely knew what to do with each piece I ordered. Octopus is extremely difficult to get right but this chef did. It was perfect. The best I have ever had. We ordered a Pinot from the region which complimented our menu selections very well. Dinner was typical of the region but so fresh and again perfectly cooked. For Americans looking for a place to experience the local good seafood I highly recommend this place. Worth it in every sense.

First, this place is OPEN as of Fall 2022 (early summer in Chile) when I visited (late November…read more2022). I loved this place. Not only does this wine bar have the most extensive by-the-glass list I found anywhere in Santiago, they are also one of only two wine bars that keeps all of their wines in a temperature controlled area (very important--as most places don't have AC in Chile). All of the food I had was great--but my top favorites were the applewood smoked salmon, the loco plate, and the short ribs. I really enjoyed being able to try new wines from small, boutique producers in Chile (this is something you can only do in a few places in Santiago) and get recommendations from the really knowledgeable owner as well as the fact that they include a little tag on each glass so that you can keep track of what each wine in front of you is, if you do a flight of half glasses of wine like I did. The two best places for wines-by-the-glass and the best selection of wines from smaller producers are Bocanariz and Barrica94. No wine lover should leave Santiago without visiting both of these places.
