Valparaíso

A good seafood restaurant where you can enjoy ceviche, grilled octopus, shrimp gnocchi and other local specialties to the rhythm of the music of visiting artists. The view is spectacular, to say the least, and makes for a particularly pleasant setting from the top of this pretty terrace. The daily menu offers a vast and delightful choice. The service is impeccable and smiling, the dishes are well prepared and the prices remain reasonable. A little bucolic break under the Pacific breeze, ideal for a summer lunch

A classic decoration for one of the best cafés in the city. Very typical, it is identifiable by its beautiful colored facade. Here, it is not a high place of the Chilean gastronomy, however the menu remains not very expensive the midday and the dishes proposed are of quality. The menus include drinks and there are vegetarian options. All this is always accompanied by friendly and smiling service. The terrace on the square is very popular in summer, a little set back from the street. In short, simplicity is the order of the day and the warmth is real.

An iodized address on the lively Cerro Alegre! Here, Jorge offers a classic cuisine with a real flavour. Classic? Yes, but creative and above all based on fresh products! The menu offers tuna tartar with Dijon mustard, oysters au gratin in the oven or even seafood lasagne (shrimps, oysters and squid with béchamel sauce... yum!). Vegetarians and vegans will also find something to their liking. The plates are nicely prepared and the restaurant has a nice terrace on the first floor. The bill? Not that expensive.

The Tres Peces, as the name suggests, specializes in fish and seafood. In its charming, bright service room on the Cerro Concepción, decorated with elements evoking Valparaiso's fishing and seafaring heritage, you'll be delighted by the weekly menu. Empanadas and other filled doughnuts, fresh salads with iodine accents, grilled fish and/or seafood, raw fish tatakis with bold flavors and fruity notes - everything is good at "Les Trois Poissons"!

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.

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.
