Govinda
Even nonvegetarians declare this diminutive Hare Krishna restaurant a winner. Hidden away in a quiet residential area, it feels much like eating in somebody’s living room. Imaginative three-course lunch menus (served on a single metal platter) include fresh organic produce and cost laughably little for the quality.

Restaurant La Bomba
Pass the shiny red engine to reach this unpretentious café in the local fire station. If you can’t find it, listen for its deafening siren at noon. There’s nothing particularly spectacular about the food, which focuses on Chilean fare, but you can’t beat the setting.

Maracuyá
To treat yourself to a superb seafood meal complete with bow-tie service and sea view, head to this villa-style restaurant, downtown next to Playa El Laucho. Enjoy the salty air mingled with scents of flowering vines and relax to a soundtrack of waves booming below.

Canta Verdi
A fun, youthful ambience permeates this cozy restaurant and bar, which looks out onto a colorful artisans' alley. It's one of the best gringo meeting points for dinners of pizzas, sandwiches, bar snacks, and pitchers of beer and cocktails.

Schop 21
This plain-faced café hogs a corner of the city's main pedestrian mall, onto which it spills in a haphazardly shaded patio. It offers condiment-heavy sandwiches, pizzas, coffee and lager to keep people-watchers fed and watered.

Tortas y Tartas
Relax on the open-air terrace with a beer or head here for a late breakfast and some of the best coffee in town. The food is surprisingly good, featuring an eclectic mix from teriyaki chicken to a salad topped with fresh salmon.

El Arriero
This old-school eatery is perfect for red-blooded carnivores who don’t mind waiting for an old-fashioned parrillada (a mixture of grilled meats). Expect gracious service and an aging steak-house atmosphere.

Chin Huang Tao
A small atmospheric Cantonese chifa (Chinese restaurant), warmly lit and watched over by poker-faced goldfish. Save money by taking your set lunch with you. Hunan beef on the beach – perfect!

Naif
Tucked away on an easily missed pedestrian street, this is a funky little café-cum-bar with curly ironwork chairs, sharp art and occasional live music. Happy hour runs from 8pm to 11pm.
