We stopped at De Patio at the recommendation of the concierge at the W Santiago...and boy were we impressed. The restaurant I has a unique setting, with covered seating which feels like a patio and a large bar which provides a nice view into the kitchen. The staff was incredibly friendly and nice, enjoying our partly English and partly Spanish conversation.
At the Chef's recommendation, we chose to do the tasting menu with full wine pairing (you could choose how many glasses/tastes to have over the course of the meal). Each course was a fantastic adventure of sight, smell and taste. Most dishes were Japanese inspired with a focus on local and seasonal ingredients. Although we didn't love every single dish, it was refreshing to eat at a restaurant which was pushing and exploring new flavors. I rarely experience meals which put me out of my comfort zone and this one definitely did. Standout courses: bone marrow, pork belly, and the desserts! Really loved the pairings, and again appreciated the care which went into picking unique wines. Ending with a cocktail was also a fun surprise.
This was a fantastic experience from both a food and service perspective, highly recommended for any foodie who may be in Santiago.
