This classic salón de té (teahouse) is where Valdivians talk about you behind your back over delicious café cortados (espresso with milk, always served with properly carbonated water), cakes and sandwiches. Toasted sandwiches and hearty tablas (shared plates; after 4pm) draw those looking for something more filling (or perhaps just escapists – the Parisian-style seating couldn't be more un-Chilean).
It's extra packed on Sundays. Next door, they do exquisite chocolate, pastries and ice cream.
