The best restaurants Central Coast

A small Italian restaurant that seduces for the quality of its dishes: tuna carpaccio, fettucine de merquén and its lamb stew (our best choice), rabbit in a casserole, saltimboca a la romana... the flavours are surprising and up to our expectations. The dishes are beautifully presented and the service is friendly and pleasant. A good address all in delicacy which will please in particular the couples in the search of an intimate framework. Remember to make a reservation as the restaurant is small and can sometimes be a victim of its success!

You'll have to climb a few streets up Cerro Bellavista to find this authentic little Neapolitan pizzeria occupying a corner of the neighborhood. Here, the chef takes the art of pizza-making very seriously, much to our delight. With its fine, crunchy dough and carefully selected ingredients, the pizzaiolo's job is to sing! An address that will delight those nostalgic for the transalpine galette. You can place your order and enjoy your margharita in the street right next door, admiring the view!

Just a stone's throw from Plaza Sotomayor, Capri is THE Chilean cantina par excellence! Step past the brightly-colored storefront, up the flight of stairs to the unique, large and always-full service room, and prepare to get your money's worth. Here, generous portions of authentic, traditional Chilean cuisine are served, mainly fish and seafood, but not only. Let the friendly waiters advise you and enjoy the atmosphere. A truly good, inexpensive and local address.

A typical Valparaíso restaurant, with a cosmopolitan fauna. You'll taste grandma's cooking, very local and tasty. The menu includes cazuelas - many say they are the best in Valparaíso! - fried merluzas or reinetas, bife a lo pobre, pastel de jaiba or machas a la parmesana. The portions are copious. However, if you don't have time and want to eat on the go, order empanadas: they are very good. Be patient, the service is sometimes a bit overworked.

The belvedere on which the old, decaying Circular building sits is an attraction in itself: from the small square dominated by a century-old tree, you can enjoy the view before turning your attention to the menu. On the terrace or in the service room that seems to float above the void, you'll have to choose between a goat's cheese salad, tuna tartare, steamed almejas or grilled octopus with chillies, to name just a few of the star dishes. Certainly the best address in the neighborhood in terms of value for money!

An institution for almost 50 years. A map with Italian influences, whose pasta is always appreciated, like homemade steaks (with ham, cheese, fries). However, it is sometimes uneven.

Cuisine kitchen, in a small place that fills quickly. The hotel was very clean and very clean. Generous portions. Perfect to familiarize yourself with typical Chilean dishes.

On the first floor of the main Cardonal market, near the terminal, in a colourful atmosphere so typical of the old port, this is a good address to soak up the local atmosphere. It offers mostly good and hearty fish and seafood ( machas a la parmesana are a must as an appetizer, then the chupe de camarones). The marina Paila (a traditional Chilean seafood soup) is particularly delicious. There are always local musicians who come to play the guitar and sing. A very picturesque address.

Typical restaurant serving fish and seafood specialties. Taste the chupe of jaiba (crab) or seafood empanadas. View of the sea and the pelicans fishing a few meters from the shore.

The principle, as the name suggests, is that we can get breakfast at any time! Nice for late risers. Nice décor: painted slabs, windows, shelves, like an old shop. You can read his newspaper and buy tea, oatmeal cakes, alfajores… Vegetarians are not forgotten. Lunch menu at noon.

Incredible! We're almost entering people. The atmosphere is family, everyone active in kitchen or service. The dishes are typical and of surprising quality: Chilean gastronomers regard it as the best address in town (the lomo liso, what delight)! In any case, it is by far the most original. Warmly recommended.
