Mario had recommended Los Buenos Muchachos. It's a Chilean restaurant with performances of traditional dance and music from different parts of Chile. Food-wise, we walked past the kitchen to get to our table and saw masses of meat being grilled and served in big piles. So we got one.
There were two cuts of beef, pork, a curly garlicky sausage and a big fat chorizo style sausage and potatoes underneath.
We also got an interesting salad with hearts of palm, artichoke, asparagus, broad beans and avocado.
Despite eating masses of meat, there was room for dessert! Paul, Paula and Masiel had this:
An 'Ipanema Cup' with cream, ice cream, strawberries and god knows what else - it was massive.
Mario and I had this:
It was like the middle of an egg custard tart - not as sweet as a creme caramel, but was sitting In a pool of caramel so you could have it as sweet as you wanted.
It was a really, really nice meal! Recommended to anyone in Santiago.
Here are some other pictures of food I've not posted yet. Paul and I had a romantic lunch to share one day:
Eggs, chips and stir-fried beef, chicken and chopped up hot dog (yes, really.)
We had breakfast at a little cafe the other day - neat coffee art:
I had scrambled eggs on toast:
And Paul (who's now been trained not to eat until I've taken a photo) had 'quiche' with salad:
If you hadn't already noticed, avocado features heavily all over the place. It's abundant and cheap here. No one can believe how much we pay for them in the UK.
Right, off to the roof party now. Last night in Santiago!!
