Restaurant Chiringuito

Everything people say is true, it's a destination restaurant with great views (& pelicans), wonderful food - the pastel de jaive was divine - and prices to match. On a quiet day in Zapallar this place was very busy which says it all. It's an expensive treat. Good walks nearby too.

Absolute best restaurant in Zapallar! The setting is enchanting, overlooking the beach. A wide variety of just-fished seafood. Friendly waiters, delicious drinks. Explains the long line of cars to get into the parking lot. Ate there three times in one week.

This is a lovely restaurant in a great location. We went here to go penguin watching by boat and had lunch afterward. The food was really good and the service was great. Value for money wise its really good and you could not ask for fresher seafood, its literally landed next door. Not being a fishy person, I had beef for the main course that that was cooked to perfection. But this is really a restaurant for seafood lovers like my daughter. It also has nice views over the bay and of the pelicans. Certainly recommend this place.

Amazing view to the Pacific Ocean. We stayed a couple of hours while the tide went up and it was amazing to have a full glass wall so close to the sea. Food and service were great and the wine selection was amazing. One of my favourites were the breaded prawns and the congrio fish (congrio is one of my favourite finds from my time in Chile). Good for big groups as they can accommodate (we were 25).

Great service, fast, great quality and quantity of food. Have been coming here for 30 years+ and always a pleasure. great view of the ocean and the pelicans!

Amazing place with stunning views 😍 Fresh seafood 😋 and cold beer 🍺 all what you need in the sunny day 🌞 Not so crowded as other bars on the area and properly organised. Super helpful staff with deep knowledge of the menu and suggestions that makes difference in your choice 😉 Has children's high chairs and outdoor/indoor sitting area. Big parking space beside. Highly recommended for everyone.

Excellent service by the restaurant staff! This restaurant is on the expensive side but it's worth trying out. It has an good view of the Pacific Ocean and the little town of Zapallar including the beach, forestry around it and the houses on the hills. I had the Conglio Pobre for about 20.000 CLP and I'm still full 6 hours later. The fish and side dishes were all fresh, I really liked my meal. Try to go before 2pm though.

The restaurant is expensive, and they took a while to serve the food. The service was not the best either. But the food was good, and the surroundings are nice. Expensive for what it is

Loved this location. Right on the water, crashing waves about, pelicans flying by and sitting on the rocks. The service was amazing. Very attentive but didn't bother you every five minutes. We were served bread first and then offered water. The food was great too, we just had some shrimp with butter and garlic and some local mollusk. It was all amazing.

We went last night and were able to get a table after about a 45 minute. It was right at sunset when we got there, so we took advantage and walked on the beach. By the time we were seated, it was dark so we sat inside. We were 2 couples and 4 little kids, so we didn't order much, just a bottle of Casa del Bosque sauv blanc and the seafood assortment, one cold and one hot. My favorite was the machas a la parmesana (razor clams). The kids just had French fries and we had started with a pisco sour (best I've had so far). The bill was about $140 USD. Five stars for food, service and ambiance and 4 for the value, but to be honest, it's a memorable location, off the beaten path so 5 stars total for the entire experience.

Very good for Chilean service standards. This is the go to place for a tourist to visit. They do not have kids portions so we just split an adult serving for our kids.
