Divertimento Chileno

A solid, decent option near the park Divertimento Chileno is a pleasant and nicely located restaurant, ideal if you’re in the area and looking for a place to eat. The food is good and the service was fine during our visit. While nothing in particular stood out, everything was well-prepared and presented — a solid, reliable choice. If you’re nearby, it’s a convenient spot to enjoy a meal in a comfortable setting.

Tourist trap. Nice outdoor seating but no separate smoking area. We had to suffer from nearby chimney smoking guys for the entire time. Food quality is mediocre to bad - quite salty. Very overpriced. Service is minimal quality. Not worth the high price quite disappointed.

After 30 years I came back to Santiago de Chile. With my husband decided to go to the metropolitan Park and try Chilean food at this restaurant that they say their specialty is comida chilena. Waitress offered “jugos naturales”I asked for Jugó de Chirimoya and what came was nothing natural full of sugar, I had to asked to change it. Then el pastel de choclo was a big disappointment, maybe for a foreigner that has never eating a good pastel de choclo will be good, after that they brought a Lengua Nogada that has no flavor with a watery sauce. And the Reineta Cardenal came cold. We asked for more bread with butter which I think it was the only thing that was decent, the waitress didn’t bring it, I had to asked twice. It was a waiter that came to deliver the bread rude and no manners he took my knife from my hand and put it on the table. Very disappointed more than that I feel ashamed being a Chilean and come to my country to be served poorly prepared food. This is not a restaurant with quality service or food that represents the delicious Chilean food. This is a tourist trap! Not to mention we paid $60+ for a mediocre service and food that doesn’t represent us.

great food and service. they have seats inside and outside. They also serve drinks. They have some vegetarian options like cheese empanadas and delicious salads

I visited with my children and had a drink on the terrace. When paying, there was a technical issue between the card terminal and my bank card – even though my account had sufficient funds. The bill was under 20 USD. Instead of handling it discreetly, a woman in a managerial role publicly embarrassed me in front of other guests, insisting I must carry cash or ID. She refused my offer to return later with cash and asked me to leave my €2000 camera as collateral – even my €60 headphones weren’t “enough.” I repeatedly asked her to think in a solution-oriented way, but only after a long discussion did she agree to hold my son’s Kindle as collateral, saying she otherwise wouldn’t have let me leave. An unnecessarily humiliating experience for a simple, technical payment issue. Completely inappropriate – especially in front of children.

Great location just within the entrance of the Pedro de Valdivia Metropolitan Park. We had dinner outside on the patio and it was wonderful! The service was great and the food/drink selection is big. We had the Pechuga de Pollo al Limón, the Spaghetti al Cartoccio, and a Moscow Mule. All very flavorful. We highly recommend the Spaghetti al Cartoccio. Absolutely delicious! We had to treat ourselves to the Creme Brulle and the Mousse de Navegado. Highly recommend the Creme Brullle.

After a fare bit of exploring in the park we decided to stop for lunch in the park at around 2:30pm. While most of the park offers quick food like hot dogs and ice cream, we found a nice restaurant with outdoor seating near the last aerial tram stop. If exploring the park, this would be the one closest to the bottom of the hill. I was ready to have a bland tourist trap meal, but we quickly noticed that quite a few local business professional were coming in for drinks and appetizers. We kept our fingers crossed, hoping if the locals like it, it will be good! The meal started strong with a caprese salad for me, and a mixed seafood ceviche for my husband. We also ordered 2 cheese empanadas and 2 pinos (ground beef) for my husband. Chile is known for the ground beef empanadas. The food in Chile has been particularly bland but we both felt that this meal was off to a great start. My salad was full of flavor and my husband enjoyed his ceviche. Next the main course. My husband ordered a mixed seafood pasta that came out of the oven and they cut the parchment paper that sealed it right in front of us. I had an absolutely delicious dish of homemade ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese in a sage & butter sauce. We both were completely surprised and pleasantly fulfilled with this meal. We would be happy to recommend Divertimento Chileno to anyone looking for lunch while in the park.

Like many tourists we found this gem at the end of the Teleférico ride from Pio Nono, for a late lunch. The restaurant was packed and we were turned away, but as we began to head off a couple left so we were able to jump in! After being in Chile for a few days we were seeking the ‘Chile seafood experience’ - we found it here. Ordered the pulpinos, baked clams and parmesan, garlic prawns and the crab chowder. The dishes were hearty, quite tomato-based and tasty and reminded very much of Italian methods of cooking. Paired with some good Chilean whites and reds, couldn’t go wrong!

This place has no right to have as good food as it did, or as great service. It seems like a tourist trap, at the bottom of the gondola going up San Cristobal - so we expected over priced under performing food - but the prices were more than reasonable, portions were large and the staff was so accommodating and friendly. We got there shortly before the afternoon kitchen closure. Like a lot of chilean restaurants the kitchen will shut down for a bit between lunch and dinner. We were able to order quickly and get food in. The waitress was very nice about checking in on if we wanted dessert or anything else right before they shut it down. We were seated outside (I actually never went in) on a beautiful patio. It was right off the main walkway out of the gondola walk way, but was still peaceful and felt a bit secluded. I wanted something light: so got the Garbanzos Trufados (truffled chickpeas). It was a solid meal and absolutely delicious. Probably one of my favorite meals of the whole trip. I also had the cherimoya drink which was great. Would absolutely recommend and go back to.

Came here today on behalf of the hotel staff and the manager states it's closed 1 hours before it's posted closing time. I wasted a uber trip and now I have to find dinner plans

So my parents and I went after spending the day trekking around Cerro San Cristóbal. We were dressed athletically, which meant we were underdressed. They are not the most tourist-friendly. I mean they did have menus in English but our waitress was kind of abrupt. She ended up getting us a male waiter who spoke English. The food was very good (pastel de choclo, empanadas, pisco sours, and leche asada). The original female waitress cleared our dishes at the end and blatantly wrapped in a napkin and then pocketed the one empanada my mom didn't eat. This was awkward and unprofessional to do it right in front of us but hey at least it didn't go to waste. Lastly, on the way out right as we walked by a group of waiters, one of them called us gringos and they laughed. That may or may not be an insult but seriously, you couldn't wait until we were out of earshot?

Super creative menu and high quality ingredients in a beautiful park setting, especially on the patio during warm weather. Wanted to try almost everything on the menu but settled on a grilled Southern Hake topped with garlic and chili infused shrimp. It was perfectly cooked and delicious. The service is also excellent with fast, attentive service by a team of servers.
