Donde Augusto
¢-$$$$, Seafood, Santiago Centro
User Rating: *** 3.0
Fodor's Review:
What was once a simple seafood stand has taken over almost all the interior of Mercado Central. If you don't mind the unhurried service and the odd tear in the tablecloth, you may have the time of your life dining on everything from sea urchins to baby eel. Placido Domingo eats here on every visit to Chile, attended to by the white-bearded Segovian Augusto Vasquez, who has run Donde Augusto for more than four decades. Go for simple dishes like the corvina plancha (grilled sea bass), which is mouthwateringly good. Get here early, as it closes at 6 PM.

Overrated Tourist Trap
Posted by eyebug from Texas on 4/10/07
Horribly overpriced considering the poor quality of food and service. We should have gone with our initial impression that we were being hustled into a tourist trap, but having read so many positive comments we went along and had our worst restaurant experience in Chile. We felt rushed to order and rushed to settle the tab. The only thing not rushed was the preparation and serving of our meal, which seemed to take forever. If you are looking for excellent seafood there are any number of places far better for the price, for example, Azul Profundo.RATING: 1.2
