What a great experience to get a taste of beach life in Chile. If you're in town, on the Coast, for…read morea short time, you'll have to prioritize the Machas de Parmesana (roasted clams with Parmesan) and Caldillo de Congrio (Eel soup). Restobar served the soup in a great clay pot, steaming for minutes before it was tolerable to consume. While it may not seem like the most appealing dish, because it's Eel, the flavor was packed with all tastes other than the expected fishiness. Of course, on a nice day sitting on a patio, you must order a Pisco Sour. Believe it or not, the drinks are more affordable than the food! Pro Tip: Order the Mix Parmesana (includes clams and oysters) and the larger size of the National Pisco Sour (different than the original Peruvian sour, made different in Chile). They have two sizes, it's a better value to order the larger one.

We ordered machas con permesano, pisco sour, papas fritas and merluza con pure, everything tasted decently fresh and yummy. They have a full bar. Not the cheapest place, but the easier parking up a block in the residential neighborhoods with the view make it more than worth it. It is within an easy 1 minute short walk of Mampato and beach promenade.

There was a lot of hype about this place online for the chorillana. It opens at 2PM, and pretty…read moremuch only sells chorillana and terremotos (an alcoholic beverage). The chorillana servings are huge, and it comes with half soggy fries with a beef and onion sauteed mix on top. The juice from the meat and the onion is what makes the fries soggy, and I think that was part of the point of the dish.. but it was just so heavy and really not as good as it seems like it should have been. Terremotos here are bad. They pour so much bitters in it that the other sweet flavors arent even there. the interior is kind of weird but cool. They have random objects hung up in what seems to be a random design, and people have started a tradition of leaving their passport photos on all parts of the walls.

Churrillanos @ J Cruz ? This is the worst food you can possibly have.

Sorry, but Valparaiso is famous for its fresh fish but not for this - no native would eat it. The taxi driver warned us. In fact all the Chileans whom we met there had a nice steak with salad and potatoes as side. If you find an old bottle of tomato sauce in your fridge and you need something to go with it try this "meal". Maybe I'm too bourgeois for that, but , honestly, I don't think so ;-) BTW the address has changed its now located in Calle Francisco Valdes Vergara - a street down from Calle General Cruz - maybe he's turning in his grave?

I love how the rolls are just the right size since most places have XXL rolls that you struggle to fit in your mouth. There are also a variety of rolls that aren't unnecessarily smothered in avocado and cream cheese. Yay!
