Osaka – Santiago

by | May 25, 2023

Osaka in Vitacura is the Santiago Chile iteration of Lima-based Osaka’s international chain of restaurant’s offering Peru’s Japanese fusion cuisine styled Nikkei. Ambiance and execution of the sophisticated Nikkei menu is top-notch. Service is generally very good. But prices are steep.

Casaluz, in Barrio Italia, is wearing silk undergarments below a tattered overcoat. It’s the closest thing to gourmet in Barrio Italia. Good food, service and ambience. And good prices, too.
