A
Confitería Torres
One of Santiago’s oldest cafés wears its history on its sleeve. Golden oldies play on the radio, aging waiters attend with aplomb, and the green-and-white floor tiles are worn from use. Former president Barros Luco always ordered a steak and melted cheese sandwich here – the dish now bears his name throughout Chile.

Poema Café
You come to this café in the Biblioteca Nacional more for the grand surroundings than the food - it's like having lunch on the set of Dangerous Liaisons. The dishes all have literary themes and it is equally good for a caffeine pit stop and a relaxed read.

C
Café Escondido
Literally 'the hidden café,' Café Escondido really is tucked away in an alcove. Within its welcoming, simple candlelit interior you can get cheap lager and decent snacks - try the canapé de champiñones (mushrooms in garlic sauce).

D
Tavelli Café
Tavelli has bagged a prime location in this opulent high-ceilinged venue right next to the Teatro Municipal in a well-heeled, cultural pocket of downtown. Its prices are steep, but the cakes are quite scrumptious.

E
Veracruz Cosas del Mundo Café
Veracruz Cosas del Mundo Café fosters about as cultured an atmosphere as it's possible to get inside a shopping mall. Coffees and a slice of mouthwatering pastel (cake) are a bargain.

Café Abarzúa
A scaffolded mezzanine lends an industrial look to things here. The coffee, tea and cakes are the main attractions, but the temporary exhibitions by local art students might also catch your eye.

Peperone
The empanada is king (try the cheese and asparagus) at Peperone, a romantic little candlelit café that also serves tea, coffee, good beers (including Kuntsmann) and fresh juices.

Café Brainworks
There’s no booze at this spot but its retro plastic chairs deserve the street’s design prize, and the smoothies are divine, too.
