Top choice in Santiago


Without a doubt one of the most unusual culinary experiences in Chile, this upstart is innovating Chilean cuisine by looking back to the culinary roots of the Mapuche, Rapa Nui and Atacameños.

Don't even bother ordering á la carte, unless you are in a big group. Instead, ask for the tasting menu; it's served on a stone slab and features modern takes on traditional indigenous fare, such as llama, lamb tongue, sweet breads, horse and salmon. The dramatically lit patio and low-ceilinged interior provide the perfect backdrop for your technicolor trip through Chile's gastronomic roots.
