La Sanguchera – Santiago

by Ollie O | May 18, 2023

La Sanguchera, with locations in or near the food courts of several popular shopping malls, sandwiches with fresh ingredients. Seating is right in the frenetic midst of hundreds of mall guests walking from the escalator to the mall food-court. But the sandwiches are tasty and the service was better than acceptable.

Vendetta – Santiago Chile

by Ollie O | Mar 16, 2023

Vendetta is a modern, trendy take on an Italian trattoria offering a short menu of creative and well-executed Italian dishes. Décor, execution of the menu and service were all impressively good on a recent visit.

El Ranchero delivers remarkably authentic Mexican cuisine, without adaptation to please the local palettes, in a pleasant ambience that says “Mexico”. Reasonable prices for big portions, too.

Matsuri offers a touristy rendition of Japanese cuisine that needs a bit more heart and soul. Not a bad restaurant. Better than most in Santiago. But still way short of being a great dining experience.

by Ollie O | May 1, 2019

Castillo Forestal serves authentic French cuisine. Rare in Latin America. Minor errors of execution and a somewhat lacking ambience in the main dining area keep Castillo Forestal from living up to its potential. Still, a worth choice, especially at breakfast and lunch.
