The best all-day bistro in Santiago — a Providencia institution with generous portions of Chilean classics, cold beer, and the kind of warm, chaotic atmosphere that makes it the gathering place for journalists, politicians, and artists who have been eating here for decades.
Why It Belongs on the List
Liguria is Santiago's answer to a Parisian brasserie — a large, always-busy bistro in Providencia that serves traditional Chilean food with generosity and noise. The menu covers the classics: chorrillana (fries with beef and onions), lomo a lo pobre, pastel de choclo. The wine list is good and affordable. The atmosphere is the best in the city for understanding how Santiaguinos actually socialize.
