Patagonia
No prizes for working out where the star ingredients at this cozy wood-lined restaurant come from. Harder to predict are the combinations the Argentine chefs cook them into: Patagonian lamb comes in a calafate (berry) sauce, rainbow trout is dressed in smoked goat cheese, and the brownies come with a Cabernet coulis. Wild boar and venison are also on the cards, but there’s also a plain old parrillada (mixed grill) if you’re not feeling, um, game.

Café Bistro de la Barra
Worn old floor tiles, a velvet sofa, 1940s swing and light fittings made from cups and teapots make a quirky-but-pretty backdrop for some of the best brunches and onces in town. The rich sandwiches include salmon-filled croissants or Parma ham and arugula on flaky green olive bread, but make sure you save room for the perfectly firm, berry-drenched cheesecake.

Opera
From the first mouthful of foie gras to the last smear of crème brulée, the food at Opera bears the mark of classic French cooking, but it’s made with the best Chilean ingredients. Hefty mains include lamb shank in a Cabernet reduction or the perfectly pink veal ribchop in a buttery béarnaise. The upstairs sister bar, Catedral, does simpler but equally excellent food.

Pinpilinpausha
There’s a friendly, family feel to this Basque restaurant. The trademark fish dishes typically involve heavy sauces – try the merluza austral (hake in creamy artichoke) or corvina a la Donostiarra (a peppery sea bass). Add fuel to the fire by ordering a rich crema catalana (Spanish-style crème brulée) for dessert.

Il Siciliano
Seafood is the favorite filling for the pansotti, lasagna and other filled pastas that Il Siciliano specializes in – there’s usually plenty of cheese involved, too, so the results are very rich. With its plain wooden tables and exposed brick walls, it’s smart but not stuffy, and usually packed at weekends.

Ébano
Unusual ingredient combinations are at the heart of Ébano’s small menu: there’s a bean and strawberry salad, for example, or grilled pork chops with mango and wild rice risotto. Equally inventive cocktails are popular with an arty older crowd who love the understated concrete walls and slick music.

Akbar
Bare concrete and dark wood panels are the functional but cool backdrop for well-priced, reasonably authentic sushi. Dinner stretches well into the wee hours on weekends, when live DJs and powerful cocktails make the perfect dessert for your maki.

Ostras Azócar
A beautifully preserved old townhouse contains Barrio Brasil’s classic seafood restaurant. Candlelight, stiff white tablecloths and perfect platters of oysters (the house specialty) all point to it being ideal for a date night.

Ona
At this handkerchief-sized deli, wholemeal empanadas, stuffed breads and sandwiches are served on handmade plates at sidewalk tables, or in paper bags to take away (prime picnic spot Cerro Santa Lucía is right next door).

2008
The deliciously gooey thin-crust pizzas here look big, but they disappear damn quickly. Add cheap beer and pisco sours, rough-and-ready wooden tables and classic rock ’n’ roll, and you’ve got the perfect budget dinner.

Voraz Pizza
This hole-in-the-wall pizzeria serves great-value thin-crust pizzas and artisanal beers at sidewalk tables, or will deliver to your hostel. If you’re really in a hurry, you can wolf down a slice or two at the bar.

Verace
It’s a tough call as to who’s quicker: the chefs whipping up these amazing thin-crust pizzas or the enraptured diners guzzling them down. Either way, turnover is high at Verace’s four or five chrome tables.

Mundo de Papel
The cluttered shelves and tables of this independent bookshop and café provide literary inspiration as you write your postcards – or your novel – over a late breakfast combo or a juice and sandwich.

Platipus
Candles cast a warm glow on the exposed brick walls of this laidback sushi spot. Don’t come here in a hurry, but both the sushi and the tablas (boards of finger food) are worth the wait.

Doner House
The doner maestro carves up a killer shawarma at this tiny eatery. Falafels and stuffed vine leaves are some of the other quick bites on hand.

Fast Good
The name says it all: the beef, tuna and veggie burgers here are as fresh as they are quick, and come with sides like fries cooked in extra-virgin olive oil. The small, ultraminimal space is painted bright green, just like the large fiberglass horse outside (best not to ask). Food god Ferràn Adrià is behind this chain – this is the first branch outside of his native Spain.

El Bombón Oriental
You’ll need all the paper napkins you can find: from the shawarma, empanadas and falafel to the baklava, everything this tiny Middle Eastern café serves is divinely drippy.
