This restaurant is themed to give the outdoor feeling, with high ceilings and large windows. The pizza, a prawn and cheese pizza was such an amazing flavor. The chocolate volcano dessert was good, but not quite melt in your mouth and so they lost a half mark. The waiters had enough English to uderstand me and we were able to chat things through. What a joy!

Went here for a dinner during a business trip. The fried conger was great and the mash very tasty. The papas bravas were amazing. Good selection of bottle wines but not much by the glass. Service was very good and price very very decent.

We went here twice while staying in Valdivia, Chile. The first time I had the short ribs and mashed potatoes, the second time a steak and French fries. The food was hot and prepared as ordered. It was also delicious and our waiters both times were great. We would obviously go back there because we did! The restaurant is nicely decorated and the menu has a lot of choices. We used Google Translate to help with the menu since the staff did not speak English.

The place is cozy, especially sitting next to the fireplace. We enjoyed having original drinks such as "selva valdiviana" sour prepared with pisco and a mixture of murta berries and quince. This is a unique flavour that is typical from the South of Chile. In any case there is a large list of sours you can select from. The food is also quite good. As starters you can have fried "empanadas" filled with "locos" a kind of avalone that is very apreciated. The crab-pie (chupe de jaiba) is also very tasty. In general seafood and fish dishes are the specialties of this restaurant.

A small and traditional cafe, located in O'Higgins # 394 in Valdivia, renowned for its warmth, quality and for offering the crudos that make Chile famous. We serve from Monday to Saturday from 08:00 to 22:00 hours.

I stopped at this traditional restaurant to have a quick bite to eat between meetings in Valdivia and had a very good meal. I had a lomo without the bread and it was great. I also had the wiener without the bread and enjoyed both. Service was great.Thank you, hope to see you soon!

We had a couple beers on the patio and the opportunity to hear a great group, Experimental Niebla Trio - great music and super nice guys from Santiago. The food looked great, so we will return ASAP to taste! Great service and good beer with a very relaxed atmosphere.

They have their own beer on tap. I had the mussel soup. It has mussel, clam and shrimp in beer broth. Fresh seafood, but broth was too salty to drink. Vegetable basket was delicious with fried potato wedge at the bottoms. Also good. Sliced raw tuna was fresh. Wasabi was very weak. Came with bread. Still a filling meal. They have herbal tea selection. I tried the one with maqui. Itâs very fruity, perhaps better on its own.

Probably the best restaurant in Valdivia. Beautiful decor, friendly professional service and extensive menu Italian style. I started with the onion soup which was absolutely delicious . I had the grilled lamb chops with roast potatoes in rosemary for main course followed by tarta tatin for desert .. excellent ! The service was prompt and attentive and the friendly manager came to chat at the end of the meal. Highly recommend for couples , families or small groups of friends . Prices are keen for the quality of food , surroundings and service .
