5 stars just for the bathroom fixtures according to my elementary aged son..,. and me, they are pretty awesome. That said - the food was great, and surprisingly inexpensive considering the location in an nice park, and the upscale vibe of the place. It's also huge, so I set my expectations low. I got a salmon ceviche which was pretty good, but needed something else with it. My wife got the mestizo ceviche with assorted seafood... and it was what I had actually wanted. Both were delicious though. The place worked well with kids - though they mostly had french fries as their dinner. The staff was very nice and patient with our large group. Free wifi was available. Ambience was really nice. Mostly, the location was wonderful, with a beautiful view, and the patio was both covered (great for a warm day) but still felt very open. read more

Found this restaurant on a list of the worlds 50 best and decided it would be a great place for my 40th birthday dinner. The restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous. From the front to the back, even the bathrooms have a wonderful aesthetic. It's also a really large restaurant so they were easily able to accommodate our party of five with a reservation on OpenTable. We ordered cocktails and a bottle of wine, both were good. For appetizers we ordered the chicken Caesar and the mixed empanadas which included beef, cheese, and seafood. Salad is salad so that was fine. The pastry of the empanadas was really delicious but the fillings left much to be desired. The seafood was nearly inedible as it was tough and hard to chew. The beef and cheese would have been better combined. For my entree I got the seafood risotto and it was good but nothing to write home about. I had similar quality risotto the day before at a winery restaurant that was cheaper, so truly the hype of this place was lost on me. For dessert we ordered the churros which is one of my favorite desserts. The texture was disappointing. I feel like the churro itself was too small to have that light airy inner texture. Overall I had high expectations that were not met. It was kind of expensive (compartively speaking) and kind of mediocre for what I was expecting from one of the world's best restaurants. read more

This is a very chic place to have lunch or dinner. Reservations are typically required. Since my Spanish is only so so we had some trouble deciding what we should order. Our waiter was frustrated with us and ditched our table! A young man named Roberto came to our rescue and helped us navigate the choices. Shrimp empanadas: So good! My friend and I each got one, love the pastry Risotto al mascarpone: the flavor was so good and the meat was tender- Ceviche de reineta: fresh tasting and delicious! If we had discovered this restaurant earlier, I would have gone back at least one more time during my visit to Santiago. read more

Alas - a restaurant in Santiago with great food AND great views! Came here for a delicious lunch. The cocktails and wine selection are a 10/10 - one of the best chambord spritz I've had in chile. My favorite dish was the duck, hands down. The restaurant is right next to the park, so it's perfect for a nice stroll to visit the ducks afterwards. I'll definitely be back to bring my friends! I've also heard they have a great brunch. read more

Great service and food, reasonable price for prestige. This restaurant is nestled at the corner of the beautiful Bicentennial park in Vitacura. They have a large indoor and outdoor patio seating, for which the indoors are saved for those with reservations. I dropped by after a run in the park for lunch to try their well renown ceviche and was sat outside with a heat lamp without a reservation, I was very comfortable. They had several types of ceviche on their menu, i tried their classic one and it did not disappoint. Ample servings of fish, scallops, octopus and shrimp were garnished beautifully and cured in lemon and leche de tigre sauce. One blunder is that their delicious bread came out after the ceviche but hey i used it to compliment the ceviche tartness and it worked beautifully. The servers were kind and spoke some English; a very basic understanding of Spanish will do well here. Incredible place i will be back for more. read more

There's not much that can be said about Mestizo that has not already been said, but this is always our go-to place when we have guests visiting from out of the country. It has an excellent, diverse menu that is not too overwhelming with options, but truly has something for everyone. The mixed drinks are all top-notch, too (my husband always gets the Mule and I love the Peratini). If you love unique architecture and beautiful ambiance, this is the spot for you. The design is very modern and unique and the dining room is actually indoor-outdoor. A warning if you sit outside--Santiago has a big smoking culture, so you will be enjoying your provaleta (possibly the best in Santiago with its tomatoes and caramelized onions on top with soft toasted bread) and empanadas (deep fried goodness) with a side of cigarette smoke. I've had many of the dishes including risotto and even the Caesar salad. Nothing disappoints here. It is "gourmet Chilean" that uses traditional spices (merquen) and recipes (pulpo, anyone?) but in a very elevated way that's not snobbish or pretentious. You can come here for a nice occasion or just because it's Tuesday. The service is always lovely and the servers will forgive your choppy Spanish (almost everyone here is well-versed in English and is very accommodating). I recommend you come at sunset because the sky over Parque Bicentenario with the water and flamingos in your view cannot be beat. Cheers! read more

One of our favorite restaurants in Santiago. The ambiance (beautiful view which overlooks the bicentennial park), service, and quality of Chilean food certainly exceeded our expectations on our first visit. The first time we came here, it was for dinner around 7:30 p.m. on a Saturday night, which is pretty early as Chileans eat fairly late. I recommend you make reservations or go on the earlier side if you're trying to go for dinner as this restaurant is popular and gets very packed. I recommend the braised risotto (flavorful and creamy), gnocchi with truffle (delicious hearty dish with braised meat), empanadas (pino)- very crispy and came out hot, and Perez Cruz cab sauv 2016. When we came a second time on a week night, it was not as good as the first. We made reservations for 8:00 p.m. and weren't seated until around 8:45 p.m. The bread that was brought out with the salsa was cold on the inside. We got a few plates to share. The catch of the day (not sure what kind of white fish it was over a bed of quinoa) was very fishy, angus steak- served on a heated pan was very overcooked and tough, bravas (served with an egg on top which made the French fries extremely soggy). The second time we came here was very underwhelming. Overall it was a positive experience, I would probably stick to the recommended dishes I mentioned above. read more

Horrível. Comida intragável e serviço horroroso. Ravioli de centolla, a centolla deve ter fugido porque não tinham gosto nenhum.

Mestizo - couldn't you you follow me home to Saint Louis? Okay, I know it's farfetched but this place was so awesome!!! A colleague of mine recommended I try mestizo so I planned a lunch there the Sunday I arrived in Santiago. When my other colleagues arrived 3 days later, I had no hesitation taking them back for dinner! First of all, walking into Mestizo on a warm sunny day is almost overwhelming in itself. The restaurant has a very modern feel and overlooks the beautiful bicentenario park - the view alone would be worth going to see! Service was casual but very accomodating with very friendly servers both times I dined in. For lunch, I had the ribeye steak with white rice - it was cooked excellently and very well seasoned. The rice was so flavorful as well - I was so surprised as I didn't expect anything other than white rice! When I came for dinner, we started with the trio of empanadas and I had the beef short ribs (asado de tira) with gnocchi and black truffle. Holy cow - this might have been the best beef short ribs I've ever had...the pasta component was amazing as well. Empanadas were awesome as well! Both meals, warm bread was served with a kind of salsa which was really great. I had to try a pisco sour as it was my first time in Chile and this was excellently prepared. Be mindful if you visit that there is no English menu but if you speak some spanish, you should get by fine. I felt so privileged to visit Santiago for business and Mestizo was one of a few reasons I absolutely loved the city!!! read more

From the ambiance, the setting, the location to the food I would recommend this place HANDS DOWN! The views and the setting is just amazing. Sitting here on the park with a great view and great weather and great people I couldn't have been happier. I will warn you on Saturday morning for Lunch this place gets packed and the wait will be long. They don't open until 12:30PM so the lunch rush is there when they open. We had to wait over an hour, but the staff was so kind when we told them we had a wine tour to make and they were accommodating. See what we ordered below [cant find menu online so the names will not be exact]: Cheese - the app that was melted cheese was amazing. It came with bread slices and it was delicious. Risotto - the risotto was also AMAZING, probably one of my favorite dishes of the lunch. I believe it was a braised lamb, or some kind of meat and the meat was very on point. Tuna Tartare - FAVORITE appetizer. The flavors were amazing and I just kept wanting more. Ceviche Sampler - The three different types of ceviche came on this one and they were ALL great! The flavors were amazing and i didn't expect anything less. Octopus - This was my least favorite appetizer as it came with potatoes and in a chorizo flavored oil. the dish was too greasy and the flavors weren't that great. White Sangria - definitely the way to go. the drink was refreshing and had a taste of cucumber. It was AMAZING. read more

We dined here our first night in the city. The concierge recommended this place after we explained we wanted amazing food, wine, and a top notch local experience. We were not disappointed! The service was superb, the atmosphere was modern, rustic and eclectic. It was a gorgeous setting with open fire pits and decadent views of the urban surroundings. Sexy and fun. The food was all divine. I liked the grilled octopus the most and the syra we had here was 5 star. Prices are so reasonable it's amazing! Of the many dining experiences we had in Chile this place is in my top 3. Go there. read more

Wow, what a great location and fantastic food! We sat, in a party of 7, in the outdoor patio area, eating the most delicious steak I've had in a long time, watching to sun go down over the park and the Santiago skyline. If you're in Santiago, I highly recommend the short drive here. Just make sure you also order the abelone. Very, very tender and tasty. It makes a great appetizer. read more

I absolutely love this place. I have been 3 times and every time is excellent. The locos are the best!! If you are in Chile you must try locos as it's a type of seafood you can only get it Chile. The menus are not in English and I am not sure if any of the waiters speak English either, but it sounds like enough English speakers eat here and make it work so you'll probably be fine. They seem to have a lot of typical Chilean dishes on the menu, such as chupe, which was excellent. The view of the park is super nice and it's overall a great atmosphere. Even the bread and the pebre they give you before the meal is delicious! It is a pricey place, but it's perfect for a date night, or just a nice classy dinner in general. read more

I dine at Mestizo every time I'm in Santiago. It's simply spectacular. From the view to the food and service. The "machas" (baked Razor Clams with Parmasan cheese) are not to be missed.

The place is beautiful - right at Bicentenario Park with its flamingos near the restaurant ... We had lunch on a sunny Sunday, outside, we arrived without a reservation and were seated promptly.

This was an absolutely lovely location with divine food. When I found this place online, I couldn't wait to take my husband there while on our honeymoon. We arrived and were taken aback by the view. We sat outside to take in the beautiful garden setting. We dined in the evening so they brought out fire pits to keep, us and the other diners, warm. It made the ambiance even more romantic. Our waitress, Tiffani, took great care of us. She recommended great apps and complimented us on our attempt to speak broken Spanish. We ordered the ragu and a barbecue plate with truffle fries. EVERTYHING was quality, well prepared, and artfully presented. Overall, we had a lovely time, drinks were amazing, and the food was so so delicious. I'd highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! read more

The view (5/5), ceviche mix (5/5-probably the best I've had. Not too sour, just enough to taste the freshness of the seafood), entrana steak (4/5- pretty good but wish the plate is better at keeping the temperature, by the time we are about to fish the remaining steak was cold-unless you eat really really fast). Other side dishes were alright. Wine selection was pretty good. read more

Excelente restaurante! Localização incrível, de frente para o parque bicentenário. Ótimo lugar para jantar no verão, com amigos ou a família, quando o restaurante fica todo aberto direto para os gramados do parque. Reserve com antecedência, pois sempre fica bastante cheio. Apesar disto, o serviço foi excelente! É tipo de restaurante onde se tem hora para chegar, mas não para sair porque o ambiente agradável convida para provar vários aperitivos acompanhados de uma boa bebida e uma boa conversa, antes de se pedir o prato principal. O preço alto é justo e compatível com a qualidade da comida e do atendimento (15.000 a 25,000 por pessoa, dependendo da bebida). read more

We came here on the recommendation of a friend that has been here before. She was spot on, the atmosphere and surroundings were outstanding; Mestizo brings together the elements, water, fire, earth....stone...if that could that be one. Anyway, gorgeous surroundings and comfortable atmosphere. Marco, our waiter was/is wonderful and attentive and had excellent suggestions. Drinks were done well, wine selection wonderful, food great and service as good as one would count on. My issue, which may be minuscule by some, is very relevant to me. I asked for a container to take my leftover home and was denied, it just wasn't part of their "upscale" profile. yep, that's pretty much it, petty perhaps, but think of it in opposite terms, it shouldn't be petty at all. I paid for it, it was half of what I ordered and then some from my mates that were with me. Who's never been accommodated with a doggy bag?? They've no clue of my intentions of what I will do with my leftovers...feed a homeless person, feed a stray animal (there were several around), or simply enjoy what I had the night before--for breakfast. I paid for it, it's mine, don't tell me what I can or cannot do with my leftovers. it was a lot! I hate waste, of any kind, especially of food, it's fundamentally incorrect and socially irresponsible. Mestizo has blemished, what should have been, a perfect evening. Look, I'm not so vindictive a patron and am giving them a 1 star, they really are wonderful but they need to grow up, get in line with the rest of the society. It wasn't fish, nothing raw, it's fully cooked, there was no rational reason other than they did not want to project to their upscale clientele that they bag up leftovers! Mestizo: grow a pair and send a message to your pretentious, clueless patrons that you are responsible and respect those, everyone, who come to enjoy and support your business. If I want to take my paid for leftover, let me do so. read more

The only good thing was the service. We attempted to order appetizers and they were out of half the things we wanted so we had to settle on the crab claws. They were ok, but very dry. Next came the main course. I ordered the spaghetti with crab. It was just ok. Very bland and very dry. Next came dessert...well the attempt to orde dessert that is, once again they weren't serving multiple items which was a huge disappointment. read more
