Demencia

I absolutely enjoyed my dining experience at Demencia. The staff were so kind and thoughtful, I even got approached by one of the managers and she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable/welcomed. The moment you walk into this restaurant, it feels as if you are being transported to an artistic and interesting scene. Highly recommend Demencia truly had me in awe!

Food was good, tasty, nice presentation (best dish beef tartare). Cocktails nothing exciting to be honest, maybe I was expecting something more creative for the restaurant concept (i tried a sauvignon blanc which was part of the 5-course menu, the acidity is too high I do not recommend it). Friendly staff, the only problem was that they didn't have enough staff and the waiting time was very long (food and drinks).

Fun experience in a unique circus-themed setting. We enjoyed all the food -- modern dishes, fun presentation.

A Disappointing Experience – Reservation Mishandled on My Birthday I had high hopes for Demencia in Vitacura, especially after they confirmed my reservation for a special occasion — my birthday. However, what followed was incredibly disappointing and speaks volumes about their front-of-house management. On the day of my birthday, I called to confirm everything was in order. I was told, “we’ll make it happen.” Hours later, I was informed last-minute that the reservation could not be honored. No proper explanation, no alternatives offered — just a flat-out cancellation on one of the most important days to dine out. As an American living in Chile, I can confidently say this is not the level of service I’d expect from any establishment claiming to be high-end. I’ve secured tables at top-tier restaurants in Miami and New York without this kind of amateurism. While I can’t speak to the food or ambiance (since I never got to experience it), I can say the customer service and reservation handling were unprofessional at best. For a restaurant aiming for excellence, the basics need to be solid — and sadly, they weren’t.

Super fun experience with circus like decor and performers throughout the evening. The food was delicious and cocktails tasty!

This place offers a different experience with its circus-themed vibe, as well as the quick shows happening from time to time over the night. Cocktails were great, great service, and food was just OK, nothing memorable. Prices are average for the area. Recommended for a drinks night with food to share more than for dinning.

Demencia has a small but very well done menu. We absolutely loved the mini sandwiches! The food is inventive but delicious, which can be difficult to find in achulé. Definitely one of my favorite places in Santiago!

We were served by Ivan, we speak a little Spanish and Ivan was very accommodating and spoke good English. The food was absolutely fantastic, especially for the price. We have been on a tour of Argentina and Chile and this ranked in our top 5 restaurants. I would recommend to anyone visiting Santiago.
