It has a homey, rustic decor. It's open from lunch on all day which is good if you are looking for a late lunch early dinner. We had the fried fish and ceviche - they have a much better selection of the latter than anywhere else we've been. Good selection of fresh juices - I had the blueberry without sugar which was great. Not a place for sea views like many other places in this area - the two windows in front look out on the buildings across the narrow street - but the food is definitely worth trying.

The appetizers blew my expectations away: the Mixto Ceviche is a MUST. It was my first time having salmon in a ceviche and its delicate texture blended incredibly well with the dish's milky-citrusy sauce. and the parmesan crusted scallops were very good. For the main course we ordered the Chupe de jaiba, which was good but nothing to phone home about. The grilled octopus, however, was excellent. I have never been given such a large octopus tentacle. It was savory and delicate and cooked to perfection.

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.

So - making a reservation is strongly encouraged, as well as bringing a cover if you plan to seat on the open deck (they provide covers upon request!). As for the food, all the "producto di mare" was absolutely great. For dessert, I recommend their sampler. Great ambience. Delicious food choices. Professional service. There is no way to go wrong with this place. PS: the 4 starts instead of 5 is because of the bad locations of bathrooms for the elderly or people with physical dissections.

Ah, so nice! I have…read morebeen to this restaurant three times now and find it one of the best in the Valparaiso/Viña Del Mar. Like every lunch I have had here, we open with a Pisco Sour and then some small plates. But here both of these are above the norm. The wall art showing historical Valparaiso, many photographs of famous peoples and other wall art make the atmosphere interesting. Service is excellent but nothing matches the food here. I had the sea bass on my last trip. It was served on a bed of what I will call puréed hominy but could have been anything. It was spectacular. Thank the Lord I cannot tell you how good their desserts are because the food already has me worried about my waistline!

It was a gorgeous afternoon in Vina and I was joined by 3 lovely family members. We prepared the palates with pisco sours chileno. Next we shared breaded shrimp, clams parmesana before my main course arrived, Congrio frito. Everything paired very well with the Casillero del Diablo Sauvignon Blanc. And finally for digestive purposes, I ordered a double espresso and snifter of Drambuie. Another delightful lite afternoon snack with views of the Pacific Ocean was enjoyed by all. Can't wait to visit again.
