Out doing the rounds in Providencia, I kept spotting this restaurant, Liguria. It looked like a French bistro from the outside, but had an Italian name. I wandered in for the first time for a lunch. I had not been feeling well while in Santiago (food poisoning, I think) and I'd not eaten for a … Continue reading Restaurants: Liguria, Santiago, Chile
Restaurants: 2nd Visit – Bocanáriz, Santiago, Chile
This is a quickie review - you can find the original (glowing) review here... This is a grumpy response. I'll admit it, my expectations were raised by the excellent lunch I had a few days earlier. This time, I was drawn in by the wine flights for which this place is renowned. I ordered my … Continue reading Restaurants: 2nd Visit – Bocanáriz, Santiago, Chile
Eating Out: Restaurant Japon, Santiago, Chile
This isn't a great review. See, I'm not always hyper-enthusiastic. I got food poisoning about 24-36 hours after eating here and I don't know if it was from here or one other place, but I was sick for 2 weeks. First it was hard to find. It's opposite a Japanese hotel. I went into it … Continue reading Eating Out: Restaurant Japon, Santiago, Chile
Restaurants: Casa Lastarria, Santiago, Chile
Easter deserves a special meal wherever you are, but I didn't know what would be open in Santiago, Chile. I set out from my hotel, the Crowne Plaza, and headed out to the Lastarria district, which had a bunch of places to eat out. I reckoned if anything was open, it might be there. First … Continue reading Restaurants: Casa Lastarria, Santiago, Chile

But an American couple I met in Uruguay forced me to take out my phone and note down the name 'Bocanáriz' for my visit to Santiago. When browsing on Google Maps, I spotted that name and realised it was the place they … Continue reading Restaurants: Bocanáriz, Lastarria District, Santiago, Chile
Restaurants: Quotidiano, Recoleta, Buenos Aires
Am I still writing blog posts about Argentina? I sure am! Last couple to tidy things up and make the trip complete. Late in my visit, I discovered Quotidiano, an Italian-style restaurant in Recoleta which WASN'T hyper expensive (shock!). Reviews showed that they were best known for light but delicious pasta dishes. The prospect of … Continue reading Restaurants: Quotidiano, Recoleta, Buenos Aires
Restaurants: La Pecora Nera revisited – Buenos Aires
You might have seen my first review of La Pecora Nera here. I liked it so much, I went back for more! Here's what I had... Yes, I'm easily fooled by lots of clean glasses and good silverware. And you've got to love a good chandelier! I arrived early on this Friday lunchtime, not long … Continue reading Restaurants: La Pecora Nera revisited – Buenos Aires
