Seafood restaurants in Santiago

  1. A

    Ocean Pacific’s

    From brass-rimmed portholes to fish tanks and a massive fiberglass whale skeleton, they’ve gone all out on under-the-sea decor here. The menu should come as no surprise then, not least because they’ve illustrated it with photos of each fishy dish. The kitsch factor is reason enough to come, but the massive seafood platters and traditional fish stews are surprisingly good, too.

    Azul Profundo

    Even the best Chilean seafood restaurants feel obliged to publicize their specialty by going all-out on the maritime decor. But overlook Azul Profundo’s humdrum nets and telescopes and focus on its fabulously inventive food, like grilled grouper with laur­el ice cream, or shellfish served on maizemeal and merquén-infused butter.

    R

    The owners of R showed a certain economy of effort with the name, but thankfully don't do the same with the menu. A classy candlelit setting and original dishes (mainly fish) with a Peruvian twist make for a great romantic night out that won't crunch your credit card. There's a reasonable set lunch menu, but it's better in the evening.

    Ostras Squella

    A suitably salty smell fills this minimal white restaurant: that’s because your dinner is still swimming or crouching in the bubbling pools that line one side of it. The oysters are what have kept diners coming back for over 30 years, though the ceviches are also pretty fabulous.

    Pérgola de la Plaza

    The Chilean seafood and meat dishes are well prepared at Pérgola de la Plaza, but it's the impressive range of cocktails that makes this place stand out. The patio is ideal for people-watching on a lazy sunny day.
