The 38 Best Restaurants in Santiago, Chile | Eater
"Inside a century-old home, where the walls are covered with a busy mix of general store supplies, pastels, floral designs, and kitsch, chef Javier Avilés Lira takes a modern approach to a beloved institution. The pulpería delivers a passionate play on the seasons, offering four entradas, four fondos (main dishes), and a pair of desserts. Dishes offer dramatic flavors of the Chilean coast, like cream of clam and cuttlefish animated by drops of chive and aji merquén oils, or a mix of clams and Chilean abalone under a dark green canopy of pureed avocado, crisp sea beans, and pickled cucumbers. Finish with mushroom ice cream sweetened with fermented honey over mote suflado, a crispy, puffy version of popular Chilean husked wheat. Bill Esparza" - Bill Esparza
