Top ten restaurants in Chile by Tomás Wolff











We elaborated a list of the 10 best restaurants in our country. The ten selected are located in four different cities and towns: Zapallar, Valparaiso, Santiago and Puerto Varas. There are many different styles. There are familiar restaurants, innovative restaurants, traditional, Peruvian, Italian, Indian and Chilean restaurants among others.
So this is the list.

4.- Pasta e Vino.
Located in Valparaiso (in the Cerro Concepción) is a very small restaurant (for no more than 20 people) but is always full and if you want to go you must make reservations. As the name says its specialty is Pasta.
One of the best of Valparaiso.

Owned by de Correa family that created well known restaurants as Ibis (from Puerto Varas) (number 7 ranked) and Ibis de Puerto Varas (in Santiago) its located in a beautiful old chilean house and the restaurant is attended by the whole family. One of the best spots for chilean food.





10.- Majestic.

* Although this list was made by us with the help of people who know a lot about the Chilean restaurants it is not an official ranking and are lots of opinions that are contrary to ours.
