Como Agua Para Chocolate
Como Agua Para Chocolate Review
Inspired by Laura Esquivel's romantic 1989 novel Like Water for Chocolate, this Bellavista standout is part restaurant, part theme park. It focuses on the aphrodisiacal qualities of food, so it shouldn't be surprising that one long table is actually an iron bed, with place settings arranged on a crisp white sheet. The food compares to the decor like the film version compares to the book: it's good, but not nearly as imaginative. Ave de la pasión, for instance, means Bird of Passion. It may be just chicken with mushrooms, but it's served on a copper plate.

Just as with Azul Profundo, the wine selection and atmosphere were very good, but we were disappointed with our meals. Our meat was exceptionally tough (though I notice that many places in Chile serve very tough meat/seafood... perhaps this is cultural?), and our appetizers were bland. Service was very good, though, and our waitress waited outside with us in the chilly weather until our cab arrived.

Great food, atmosphere, near hallucinogenic margaritas. We eat here every year on our way to the Andes.
