The gringo pub in Santiago. If you are alone and feel the urge to speak English it's hard not to get into conversation in this place. Good bar grub and beer.

This is a top Peruvian restaurant and it's well worth spending the cash for a special occasion. Beautiful prepared dishes -- Astrid y Gaston also have restaurants in Buenos Aires and Madrid.

Le Flaubert is located in the perfect street for a French bistro of yesteryear. This place will transport you to Paris in the 1970s, food is good without being crazy good but I still like it a lot.
