Fodor's Expert Review El Parrón

One of the city's oldest restaurants, dating from 1936, it specializes in grilled meats. You can watch the action in the kitchen through enormous windows. The dining areas are large and slightly impersonal, but the extensive wine list and menu make up for them. The congenial, wood-paneled bar is the perfect place to sample the refreshing national aperitif—the pisco sour. For dessert try a popular Chilean street-trolley offering, mote con huesillos (peeled wheat kernels and dried peaches).
