Concepción Restaurants

  1. 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.

  2. Café Rometsch

    Matronly staff fuss busily around this well-established cake and coffee haunt on Plaza Independencia.

  3. Chela's

    This cheap cheerful café on the corner serves portions of chorillana (a mountainous pile of chips and onions with bits of sausage) that look big enough to feed the whole town but are actually made for just two.

  4. Chung-Hwa

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

  5. 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.

  7. 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.
