What a gorgeous Winery, with amazing people and fantastic food!…read more If you want to have a meal, make sure to make a reservation, they have a rather small restaurant and will run out of room. Food is amazing and totally worth it. I had the ossobuco and it was absolutely fantastic, falling off the bone, melting in your mouth delicious! Their wines are also delicious. We did the historical tour plus tasting, and they served 4 of their signature wines. All super smooth, delicious. They sell most of their production internally to Chile. Their wine is fantastic: dry but smooth. I highly recommend the tour as well, you get to learn about the property, all the owners and how it got to what it is today. Highly recommend it visiting the Santa Rita Winery if you ever find yourself in Chile.

Before arriving I thought I was lost because I could not understand how that would be a winery in the middle of the city, but it was, and it is really beautiful. The staff here was so sweet and I tasted some really really good wines at a fraction of the cost of those in California. I'm talking $10-$20 bottles that are absolutely fantastic. You will enjoy this place.

There's almost 150 years of history behind this place, and the facilities and wines show that. What made my visit even more enjoyable was doing it through La Biciclete Verde (https://labicicletaverde.com/tour/bike-wine-tour-cousino-macul-vineyard/), which pairs a tour of the winery with a bike tour of the vineyards, including a tasting under the trees and a tasting after the tour. Wines: I loved the Sauvignon Gris, which I'd never tried before. It tasted like a crisper and even less sweet Sauv. Blanc. I really enjoyed the Chardonnay, which is unusual for me. I found the Syrah to be very good. But my favorite was the Lota red blend, which I had an opportunity to try in their wine bar, and absolutely worth the ~$15 for a glass (the bottles retail for about $80). Facilities: With that 150 years of history, there are buildings here that have survived from day one, severe Chilean earthquakes notwithstanding. The wines aren't aged in the original cellars anymore due to a mold that's taken hold in them, but because of Chile's antiquities laws, all of the original fermentation vessels remain, as well as endless rows of barrels down in the dungeons. There's an impressive combination of the new (modern PLC-controlled stainless steel processing equipment) on grounds hosting some 80+ year old vines that are still watered by redirected streams from the Andes. The People: Our guide Adriane was very informative and gave the tour in a Spanish that I could completely understand (the Chilean dialect can be difficult to those of us so used to the Mexican variety). The wine bar staff were very helpful in answering additional questions, and of course, providing that lovely, decanted Lota red. Getting There: An easy 30 min Metro ride from greater central Santiago, followed by a ~$5 cab ride, which is even cheaper if you get off at the right stop. And for leaving, an employee was giving ~$1.50 rides back to the Metro in her Chrysler minivan.

I am very surprised that this restaurant has 4 stars…read more The lasagna was so bland we had to salt it thoroughly. The quesadilla tortillas were more like tortilla chips. Everything was really lacking flavor. We were thoroughly disappointed. Also, the portions were so small we all had to go eat something else afterward. Overpriced vegetarian with small portions & bland taste in a restaurant that did not really have an indoors - like a tent but with gaps in the fabric. And there was no heating in winter so we were cold in like a tent. None of us would ever return. The only reason I am giving them 2 stars is because the server was nice.

The restaurant is a cute little restaurant, very relaxed and chill vibe to the restaurant. It isn't a fancy place by any means, but it has such great food! See below for some of my favorites [Couldn't find the menu online, so item names may not be exact]: Quesadillas with Vegan Cheese - One of my favorite dishes. If you are expecting a traditional quesadilla, think again. This Vegan cheese quesadilla was the perfect mix of all great flavors. The corn tortilla was thin and crispy and very flavorful. Acai Bowl - as always a GREAT pick to start the meal with. The acai bowl came with granola and bananas and had the perfect flavor. Lasagna - I am not sure if we got the vegan cheese on the lasagna but it was AMAZING. Just like all the other food great pick. Chili - Don't expect a traditional chili by any means. The chili was yellow and we assumed it was more corn based. The flavors were great and included mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, and a few black olives [which I don't like, but was able to take out]. Another great dish. Vegan burgers - I didn't have them, but my coworkers definitely said the vegan burgers were great! Kiwi Pear Juice - for my drink i ordered the kiwi pear juice and it was very refreshing, light and on point.

The menu is a culinary delight, offering a range of dishes that showcase the freshest ingredients prepared with care and creativity.

I love the location of El Barisino, right in the Lastarria's neighborhood (one of my all time…read morefavorite parts of Chile), however I feel like the restaurant has not really been molded into perfection quiet yet. Their coffee is amazing, they import it from Italy and the flavor is golden. They have a very limited menu and bar. The atmosphere is hip cool. I feel like with all the different things going on there lacks a common theme that makes El Barisino a strong business. They have a really sweet outside patio as well as street side seating. Their empanadas were really well made, I would just recommend that their menu was a bit larger or stuck to a common theme as well as the coffee and bar. One thing I love is they always have a great mix of music going which is a plus to the atmosphere. I don't love the tables inside, they are really artie but almost look recycled, however I think with a little classier touch they would work really well.
