Astrid y Gaston

Astrid y Gaston Review

The kitchen is the real star here—every seat in the pumpkin-color dining room has a great view of the chefs at work. You couldn't do better than start with the agnolottis, little pockets of squid-ink pasta stuffed with king crab and cherry tomatoes. After that, try one of the one-of-a-kind entrées, such as the lamb shank drenched in pisco (a brandy distilled from small grapes) and served with three kinds of yucca or the parrot fish with tamarind and ginger. Make sure to peruse the wine list, one of the best in town. Save room for one of Astrid's desserts, such as the creamy confection called suspiro limeñna, "sigh of a lady from Lima": a meringue-topped dish of dulce de leche.

    I have traveled 28 countries in the past 5 years for both business and pleasure. I went to Santiago 3 years ago and my business partner treated me to Astrid y Gaston and can honestly say that this is the most talked about restaurant not only for its wonderful atmosphere, but its spectacular food! I will be visiting Santiago on vacation this fall and will be taking my friends and family with me to this amazing restaurant. When I was there I enjoyed some Tuna from Easter Island along with some Chocolate Souffle. (and lots of Pisco sours and wine!) Astrid y Gaston goes down as my #1 restaurant experience in the world.

    (Try to get a seat up top in their wine cellar! - nice, cozy and private)

    The food was excellent. The seabass was exquisite. However, the service was disappointing. The meal was not an event because the staff rushed every aspect of the experience. Walking in the front door to having the check placed in front of me took less than 30 minutes.

    This restaurant is an absolute must- the food is innovative and delicious. Try the suckling pig or the rabbit, or really any of the seafood dishes are exceptional. If you only have one night in Santiago, this is the restaurant to try.
