    Cozy setting in what feels like a small art gallery. Excellent, efficient, friendly service. Our…read morewaiter spoke no English, but was patient with our mediocre to bad Spanish. Fun, colorful neighborhood up a (relatively) easy hill from downtown. The food seemed like a modern blend of Chilean, Italian, Seafood, and Peruvian items. I had a steak on shrimp-sauce rice, and it was delicious. The rice was so flavorful and rich it didn't even need the steak to be a complete dish. Our daughter had salmon, which was very fresh and perfectly cooked. We ate early (by Chilean standards), so I can't testify to what the scene or service are like when it's busier.

    I know, I know I shouldn't be writing a review about a restaurant I haven't tried the food of and…read morejust stick to the tip option, but.... We had a busy day exploring Valpo and Vina del Mar, and we simply wanted to spend our last hour in Chile drinking pisco sour. Stumbling upon SaborColor was such a wonderful coincidence. The restaurant is located a little bit up the hill in Cerro Concepcion in beautifully renovated house. The ambiance is warm and woody, the walls decorated with quite impressive paintings for sale, jazz music playing in the background. The most important thing, they make pisco sours, all kind of them. Our cocktails were the best we had in Chile. I started with the classical one and switched to the ginger version, both were so well balanced and subtle. I wish I could stay longer and have more versions of it. Certainly a place to stop by for a drink and more! Salud!

    Probably the best food we had in Valparaiso. Really well made with vibrant Peruvian flavors…read more Everyone liked their dish, so it's hard to say what's better. Tuna in 4 cheeses was well balanced between the cheese sauce and mashed potatoes. Octopus was served with celery and avocado, and inc flavored mayonnaise, which also made a good combination.

    An unassuming exterior, clean, unpretentious decor, and relatively high traffic, including a lot of…read morePeruvians and other foreigners, is the first clue that this is a place out of the ordinary, where the marketing plan is basically that people who love food offer the food they love with great professionalism to all comers, and forget about the window-dressing. For the die-hard aficionado, finds like this don't happen every day. Quick, polite staff give you a run-down of what's what, take your order when you're ready, and turn it around very quickly. Two to four servers manage about eight tables downstairs and a banquet-room upstairs without missing a beat, moving very swiftly around the floor while being courteous & relaxed with customers, never making you feel rushed. The first surprise with the food is that the presentation is very showy. Many dishes look a little like tropical birds. Someone in the kitchen is not fooling around. These plates are large and very ornate, with bright pink sauce drizzles and architectural yam and yuca stilts strategically planted over carefully molded rice and thoughtfully distributed ingredients, announcing that this is no ordinary plate of food. And then on to the tasting. Perfectly cooked rice, firm but tender calamari, and fish marinated to perfection resting on artfully contrasting sauces. Flavors are fresh, permeating, and not overbearing, with a harmonious combination that manages to compliment the identity of each ingredient in a way that belies the heavy Asian influences in traditional Peruvian food. This is very hearty gourmet food, or very gourmet hearty food. Not sure which way to go on that one. Either way, you win. The ornate presentation seems almost out of place, but in no way detracts from the outstanding care the kitchen obviously takes in selecting ingredients, controlling freshness, and executing recipes with excellence and consistency. We walked in on a week-day evening after being underwhelmed by a well-reviewed restaurant nearby, and liked it so well we went back for lunch the next day, and were treated to exactly the same experience and food as the night before, despite the different mix of customers with more locals and faster tables. This will be on our list of required stops in Valparaiso for years to come.
