Default Nice restaurants in Santiago

Hey everyone

Here is a list of restaurants in Santiago that I recommend.

#1.
Camp David

Carretera Luperon Km 7 1/2
Gurabo, Santiago
809-276-6400

This restaurant is located on top of a mountain. You can see the whole city of Santiago. It is very romantic. This place has a variety of excellent wine and desserts. It's a bit pricey but it is worth visiting.

#2.
Maroma
Calle 15 # 1-3
Los Jardines Metropolitanos
Santiago
809-724-4643

The chef is Colombian. This place has a variety of pasta, seasfood, and Columbian dishes.

#3.
Il Pasticcio
Cucina Italiana
Cerrado Los Lunes
Av. Del Llano Esq. Calle 3 Cerros De Gurabo
809-582-6061

This is an Italian restaurant. There are no menus in English so if you do not speak or read Spanish, then you will need a translator.

#4.
La Parrillita
Ave. Juan Pablo Duarte No. 162
809-583-1925

This is an outdoor restaurant. There is a nice large mall right across the street from this place.

Obviously the OP don't know Santiago all that well.
Maroma: Overpriced novo cuisine...
Pasticcio: Only so-so....

The other two are fine, although you pay for the views at Camp David, it is worth every penny.

Now, here are some restaurants:
El Café on Calle 5 of the Jardines Metropolitanos. On the street in back of the shopping center ther on 27 de Febrero (in back of Banco León. Maybe best kitchen in Santiago.

Carlos Tasso: "Real" northern Italian food. A bit pricy, but wines and pastas are #1A all the way. If you don't know where it is, you don't need to. Sorry, it is sort of a secret place for us Santiagueros.

Baguetino: Ave Metropolitana between 7 & 9 streets. Best sandwich shop in town.

Nano's on Benito Juarez in Villa Olga..very good meat--slightly upscale from La Parrillita

Mezzaluna, also in Villa Olga. Top of the line all the way.

There are more, but I am sleepy.

Maroma is not overpriced. There are a variety of meals you can choose from. Some dishes are expensive and some are not (just like any other restaurant).

If it is too expensive for you, then you can try either Domino's or KFC.

As for Pasticcio, I like the food a lot. M friends liked it as well which is why I posted it. But if you did not like it, then I am sorry to hear that.

Thank you for posting another list of restaurants. I will try them out next time.

NOTE: Due to the death of the owner, "El Café" is no longer.

The Rancho Steak House up by the Monumento is a very good place to eat.

Chivo Guisado in Santiago is a toughy. Better go about 1/2 hour west to Bar Sandra just outside of Laguna Salada for some good chivo....

The best "kipe" and "empanadas" are to be found on Av. Metropolitana across from the Sugiery Pharmacy and on 27th of February, Next to Don Luis--a place that used to serve food. There is a car wash on the other corner. (Jesús de Galíndez Street) Aida's Delicias...only after 4:00 p.m.

GOOD and CHEAP!! El Tirigüillo...cold beer and good sandwiches, on Constanza Street between Juan Pablo Duarte and 27 de Febrero, next to Tapizarte. AND across the street at night there is a pizza place Tu Pizza That makes very good pizzas for 200 pesos for 8 large slices.

I am going to revisit an old favorite Chinese place on the highway and see if they have kept up their standards...Later.

good point for the pizza and the chinese.. I´ll have to try that pizza.

I use to be a fan of "Expresso Sabroso" in Las Carreras, near Calle Cuba corner... about 2 years ago, it was great chinese food... Then it went downhill, and finally it´s closed... I am looking for another good chinese restaurant (!!!)
