Restaurante Peluquería Francesa - Boulevard Lavaud - Barberia Patrimonial Barrio Yungay

"Afternoon "Cortado" or Nightcap in Historic Yungay On a typical corner in historic Barrio Yungay, Boulevard Lavaud, colloquially known as Peluquería Francesa, is a quirky café-restobar taking you back to another era. Sitting above the old barber shop, where older men in the "barrio" still come to have a cut and shave, the restaurant is flanked with old photos, mirrors, and a myriad of antiques. Patrons roll in for afternoon coffee and cake or a light lunch. In the evening, the place fills up as a gathering spot for cocktails and snacks.

How to Spend 24 Hours in Santiago (Updated 2025)

"Absolutely my favorite restaurant in Santiago, La Peluquería Francesa sits in one of Chile’s protected historical buildings (built in 1925) and delights with an eclectic mix of antiques — anything hanging on the wall is for sale and I’ve heard you can even buy the furniture. There’s a working barbershop where old men in little white coats give old-fashioned shaves, and a conserved bodega in the style of the early 1900s (you have to ask to see it because it’s not always open). Its menus feature maps of the Yungay neighborhood that you’re welcome to take, and the restaurant is actually the start of the Historical Patrimony Route, with the map pointing out local highlights." - Matthew Kepnes
