Best Restaurants in Santiago (2026)

Santiago's restaurants have gained international attention in recent years. Boragó in Vitacura, ranked sixth in Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants 2025, serves a tasting menu built on endemic Chilean ingredients, while Yum Cha in Providencia pairs Chinese technique and Chilean produce with tea, and DeMo Magnolia cooks a nine-course menu inspired by the markets of the historic centre. Ambrosía offers seasonal cooking in a more relaxed setting, and Casa Las Cujas and Aquí Está Coco are the addresses for Chilean seafood such as king crab and scallops.

Traditional cooking is just as rewarding. El Hoyo, founded in 1912 and now in Barrio Italia, claims the terremoto and serves Chilean classics, Pinpilinpausha has served Basque dishes since 1940, and Peumayén in Bellavista explores the food of Chile's indigenous peoples. Tiramisú in El Golf is a dependable informal choice. Book the tasting-menu restaurants weeks ahead, and note that several, including Boragó and DeMo Magnolia, close on Sundays and Mondays, while Pinpilinpausha and Tiramisú open every day.
