El Tercer Ojito

Iquique


Recognizable by the huge lump of quartz outside, this laid-back restaurant serves great vegetarian and carnivore-friendly dishes. Its globally inspired repertoire includes Peruvian ceviche, Thai curries and Italian-style spinach and ricotta ravioli. A flower-draped patio sports bougainvillea and other greenery.
