The best beach restaurants Santiago

Far from the hustle and bustle of the capital, yet so close, you can be surprised by the soft music of the ebb and flow of the waves and the wind that shakes the palm trees. On the small cove of Prainha, this "feet in the water" restaurant promises you an experience so radically cool that some people make it their canteen. High quality extra-fresh fish, delicious desserts and caipirinha galore accompanied by cod croquettes (among others) will make you have a good time in a vacation atmosphere. Live bands and entertainment on weekends.

Because it's the vacations, why not indulge in a little luxury for a meal, and why not stop off at the King Fisher for a breathtaking view? Here, chefs have mastered the art of using regional produce, vegetables and fresh herbs grown on site to create delicious, delicate dishes, including an amazing basil mocktail. If you opt for dinner, the menu will be even more refined, to be enjoyed in front of the setting sun, washed down with one of the many wines on the menu.

All you have to do is descend a short flight of steps and you're standing on the sand. That's how well-placed this beach hut is, anchored as it is on the pretty Kebra Canela. Both the marine decor and the menu are inspired by the location, the latter featuring dishes such as grilled octopus, shrimp and cod, 100% cliché but a joy to indulge in. In short, simple yet tasteful formulas in this cool spot, best enjoyed on a Sunday lunchtime, for example, and followed by a swim.

As soon as you enter this sea-facing restaurant, you'll notice a wall of wine bottles. Indeed, it announces the slightly more sophisticated than average category at Cidade Velha. The menu features an eco-friendly wooden menu designed by Luna Arte Design, with fish and seafood in the spotlight: cod, grilled and filleted parrotfish, octopus and lobster. For a more international meal, or for the kids, there are also a dozen pizzas to choose from, ranging from the classic to the more local with local cheese. All in all, a delicious time.
