Restaurante Café Vinilo

Did not have a great experience here. It took forever for the waiter to come and take our order. When I ordered a beer, it again, took way too long and and he seemed slightly annoyed and confused. There were only two other tables in the restaurant so it’s not as if they were super busy. We ordered the only two vegetarian dishes on the menu that weren’t listed under Pizza, and surprise, one of them was actually also a pizza just a bit thinner and named “churrascada”. Both dishes were ok at best. The eggplant was just covered in not very good cheese (i mean I love cheese, but come on..) and had a mound of fried potato’s next to it and the churrascada is basically a thin pizza. Maybe we came in on an off day, but I can’t recommend it unfortunately.

Nice place to stop by for lunch or dinner. The backyard is pleasant place to dine in. Machas con parmesan delicious, wine average, empanadas de mariscos nice. Descent prices.

This café translates the vibe of Valparaiso. The food was what we were looking for. We haven’t heard about it before and it was recommended by the hotel where we were staying at. It was a Sunday night, and no many options to choose from, so we decided to give it a go, with absolute no expectations. All the dishes we had, felt like homemade and very authentic. The Machas a la permesiana (Chilean pink clams) were my favourite. Used to eat clams, I haven’t tried anything like this before. We also had empanadas and the pastel de choclo (one of the typical Chilean dishes), which was recommended by Daniel, the nice and very welcoming waiter, after we told him that we would like to try something from Chile. This cafe claims to be the first pisco sour bar in chile where the pisco that we had was sooooo good, that just before we left Valparaiso, with no more space for food in our bellies, we went back to it to have one last pisco. We have been to other restaurants in Valpo after that, but this is the one i will be recommending to family and friends when visiting the beautiful place. I Also would like to highlight the great service from all of the team, but specially from Daniel, which was extremely friendly and gave us a list of places that we should visit, which we religiously followed. Oh and the music is just what you would like to listen when eating. Perfect vibe.

Super atmosphere with jazz band on saturday night. Delicious food and generous glasses of wine!

We ordered the pizza and meat sandwich. They are quite good. The service is very good as well! They have explained the menu very well in English despite we don’t speak Spanish! The terrace outdoor was a nice dining spot.

Great service, enjoyed our time there. The seafood empanade rocks the house

Fantastic and filling -- highly recommend the sopapillas, corn and meat dish, and the beef sandwich is the best I've ever had -- and there are SO many vegetarian options!

This restaurant has a cool vibe and great music. We went on Christmas Eve and they were very flexible when it comes to vegan options and said they could make every vegetarian dish on the menu vegan by using vegan cheese. I had the stuffed zucchini which was great and I loved the vegan parmesan on top that tasted like real parmesan.
