  1. A

    La Luna

    This local favorite, known for fresh seafood dishes and a lively, colorful atmosphere, is becoming a little too touristy – but non-Spanish-speaking travelers will appreciate the multilingual staff when trying to decide between scallops stewed in garlicky sauce and chupe de centolla (crab casserole).

    Damiana Elena

    This elegant restaurant is located in a romantic old house, off the beaten path in a residential neighborhood. The detour is worth it for the warm, sophisticated ambience and first-rate Chilean cuisine: highlights include the salmon ceviche and the grilled tilapia.

    Remezón

    Take a cue from locals and start with a tart pisco sour. Then dive into the chef’s game and seafood innovations: oysters and clams au gratin in their shells or salmon smoked with black tea, to name a few. Service is unpretentious and welcoming.

    Puerto Viejo

    With curved walls like a ship’s hull and raw wood details, this chic eatery sets sail with fresh options such as hake in cider and warm abalone salad. New ownership means the attention may not be quite as fussy.

    Quijote

    Recommended for reliable meals and service, Quijote fills up at lunchtime, with the business folk enjoying fixed-price lunches. It's also a solid bet for breakfast, cake or a quick espresso.
