Restaurants in Concepción

  1. A

    Verde Que Te Quiero Verde

    One of Concepción's few genuinely good restaurants. It serves inspiring and inexpensive vegetarian food, while its service is spot on and reliable. Choose from a range of healthy dishes, including green lasagna and hearty sandwiches. There are also some inventive juices (apple and mint). Upstairs out the back, a gallery and artists' studios are sometimes open for visits.

  2. Sublime

    Spidery chrome light fittings, stripped pine floors and upholstered red leatherette booths with unusual donut-shaped tables are an unusual way to kit out a traditional townhouse. But Conce’s coolest eatery is all about unexpected combinations: mains could include kingklip in a hazelnut crust or steak served in pear sauce.

  3. Fina Estampa

    Starched tablecloths, fiercely folded napkins and deferential bow-tied waiters bring old-time elegance to this Peruvian restaurant. Ceviches, ají de gallina (chicken in a spicy yellow-pepper sauce) and other classics are perfectly executed, as is grilled seasonal fish.

    Café Haití

    Make sure you go upstairs for the lovely seating area overlooking the street - perfect for taking in the bustle of the plaza. Downstairs is the slightly sleazy café con piernas (café with legs) version where the waitresses wander round in miniskirts.

  5. Rancho de Julio

    Cow is the name of the game at this ever-popular Argentine restaurant, which specializes in grilled-meat fests. Even the space itself smacks of the barn, both in terms of size and decoration. A few pasta dishes cater to noncarnivores.

    Chela’s

    The TV blares in this cheap, corner café, which serves up mountainous portions of chorillana (a pile of fries and onions with bits of sausage) and steaks that are perfect for throwing cholesterol counts to the wind.

    Nuevo Piazza

    There is a convivial, pleasant atmosphere and some reasonable cuisine here, but the real appeal is the view from its large windows, a grand people-watching perch over Plaza Independencia below.

  8. Crepería Jardín Secreto

    Crepes, pancakes, and waffles come with eggs and bacon at breakfast, topped with manjar (a milk caramel spread) at teatime or stuffed with Peking-style duck at dinner.

    Café Rometsch

    First you need to beat the hordes of stiffly coiffed fur-coat-toting old ladies to a table – your reward at this classic café is great cakes and gelato.

    Chung-Hwa

    Don't let the waitresses' nasty turquoise uniforms put you off - authentic, reasonably priced Chinese food is served here.
