Silabario

Top choice in Santiago


Tucked away in an old home just south of Barrio Italia's main drag, this intimate restaurant re-envisions staples from the Chilean countryside as gourmet dishes. From northern quinoa salads to hearty Mapuche stews from the south, each culinary journey ends with a complimentary homemade bajativo (digestif).
