Salvador Cocina y Café

Top choice in Santiago


This no-frills two-story lunch spot packs a surprising punch with market-focused menus that change daily and highlight unsung dishes (and exotic meats) from the Chilean countryside. Chef Rolando Ortega won Chile’s coveted chef of the year award in 2015 and the tables have been packed ever since.
