  1. El Rincón de Pancho

    The best-known of many seafood places in the main food market, Pancho does good-value fried-fish combos which come heaped with chips or salads. Have a coin or two ready for the troupe of aging troubadours who stagger through periodically to belt out the same two boleros.

    La Moneda de Oro

    Dripping hunks of grilled meat is what this dark ’n’ dusty parrilla does best – what it lacks in frills it definitely makes up for in serving size. Football flags and port paraphernalia festoon the bottle-packed bar.

    Mora

    Meat might be murder, but healthy lunchers are considerably less ethical about table-snitching at this earthy hole-in-the-wall. We can’t blame them: you get super-fresh salads, soups, sandwiches and cookies at great prices.

    Caruso

    Locally caught rock- and shellfish get fresh, unpretentious treatment at Caruso. Start with the flaky filo seafood empanadas, then move on to the spicy Peruvian ceviche. Corn ice cream makes a teeth-stickingly good finish.

    El Sandwich Cubano

    Barely bigger than Fidel’s handkerchief, this churns out son, salsa and over-stuffed sandwiches. Don’t get revolutionary: go for the classic ropa vieja (literally, ‘old clothes,’ a shredded beef sandwich).

  6. E

    Allegretto

    Big, deliciously crispy pizzas come with very creative toppings here. Things get rowdy round the upstairs Foosball table, which is surrounded by a mural of screaming fans.

  7. F

    Bambú

    Ultrahealthy tofu dishes, salads and wholemeal pizza and pasta.

    Puerto Sushi

    Good-value sushi platters.

  9. Los Deportistas

    No sign outside, no menu inside, but don’t worry: for 45 years, Valpo’s biggest feasts have been happening here. Watch and weep as the owner plonks down bowl after bowl of salads and cigar-sized French fries with your grilled salmon, tongue in walnut sauce or bloody steak. The thimbleful of local digestif Araucano seems an ironic gesture. To get here, catch a colectivo or bus from along Condell or Av Pedro Montt to San Roque or Ramaditas and ask to be let off at the ‘cancha del Barrio O’Higgins,’ a neighborhood soccer ground: Los Deportistas is round behind it.
