  • 1. La Caperucita y El Lobo

    $$$$

    This place is one of those delightful little restaurants that seems to have it all—great food and an excellent view of the bay in a warm and intimate setting. Seafood plays a key role here, but the carefully constructed menu also features dishes like rabbit, lamb, and steak, along with some vegetarian options. Combine this stop with a walking tour of the Museo Abierto.

  • 2. MaríaMaría

    $ | Cerro Concepción

    This cutesy cafe is Valpo's yummiest breakfast, brunch, or lunch spot with homemade sourdough breads, sweet treats, silky lattes, fresh kombuchas, and health-focused bites. Sit in the brick-red bakery to watch the action or at a table on the tree-shaded street out front.

  • 3. Bar Restaurant San Carlos

    $

    If you were to ask a local to take you to a traditional restaurant, chances are you would wind up here. Now operated by the third generation of the same family, this small establishment will take you back in time with its long wooden bar, older gentlemen playing dominoes, and very traditional Chilean fare. The star dish is the causeo de patas (cow feet cut into squares and cooked till the fat melts away, mixed with onions, chili, beans, and vinegar and served cold), an adventurous dish that is much tastier than it sounds.

    Las Heras 685, Valparaíso, Valparaíso, Chile
    32-223–4043

    Known For

    • The adventurous cow's feet dish
    • Cuisine cooked in a traditional cazuela
    • Old-school atmosphere
  • 4. Café Aduana

    $

    This trendy café with exposed brick walls, colorful murals, and hardwood floors is one of the best reasons to leave the hills for the flatland of Barrio Puerto. In addition to a fine array of coffees and baked goods, you'll also find soups, salads, and sandwiches that offer superb value for money. The dark interior is also a great place to flip open a laptop and answer a few emails.

    • Slick design

  • 5. Café Turri

    $$$$ | Cerro Concepción

    Near the top of Ascensor Concepción, this 19th-century mansion is one of the city's best-known restaurants. The traditional menu has a French twist; onion soup with Gruyère and foie gras sit alongside excellent seafood. In the newspaper-cum-menu, you can read about local art shows and upcoming concerts. Outside there's a terrace, and inside are two floors of dining rooms.

  • 6. Café Vinilo

    $$ | Cerro Alegre

    Serving traditional Chilean cuisine with a contemporary touch, Café Vinilo prides itself on making its own bread and desserts. They also work directly with their food suppliers, so you can rest assured the rock fish ceviche on your plate was likely caught that same morning by a diver in Quintero, an hour's drive north along the coast. Wind down and settle in to your meal with great jazz, then check out the upstairs art gallery or adjacent boutique with upcycled clothes.

    Almirante Montt 448, Valparaíso, Valparaíso, Chile
    32-223–0665

    Known For

    • Youthful atmosphere
    • Fresh seafood
    • Jazz music ambience
  • 7. Casa Dumplings

    $$

    This cozy "dumpling house" near the Museo a Cielo Abierto is a soothing oasis of tranquil music, woodsy vibes and excellent Asian street food. It's a great alternative to all the seafood and sandwich restaurants nearby with a completely different menu and aesthetic.

    Héctor Calvo 308, Valparaíso, Valparaíso, Chile
    32-360–5906

    Known For

    • Curries, noodles, and dumplings
    • Afternoon tea
    • Peaceful ambience
  • 8. Casino Social J. Cruz M

    $$$

    This eccentric restaurant is a Valparaíso institution thanks to its legendary status for inventing the chorillana (thinly sliced beef with fried onions and eggs served atop French fries), a dish that is meant to be eaten communally. There's no menu—choose either a plate of chorillana for two or three, or carne mechada (stewed beef) with a side of French fries, rice, or tomato salad. Glass cases filled with dusty trinkets surround tables covered with plastic cloths in a cramped, dark dining room. You may have to share a table. The restaurant is at the end of a bleak corridor off Calle Condell.

    Condell 1466, Casa 11, Valparaíso, Valparaíso, Chile
    32-259–6166

    Known For

    • Home of the Chilean classic chorillana
    • Very casual dining
    • Shared tables and dishes
  • 9. Delicias Express

    $ | Cerro Alegre

    This long-running bakery on the road up to Cerro Alegre prepares more than 80 different varieties of empanadas, including surprising combos like cheese, salmon, and capers or cheese, mango, and pineapple. The dough is crispy, the service is friendly, and the line out front moves fast.

    Urriola 358, Valparaíso, Valparaíso, Chile
    32-223–7438

    Known For

    • Unique empanadas
    • Good value

  • 10. El Internado

    $$ | Cerro Alegre

    Boasting what is arguably one of the best terraces in town, this two-story hilltop behemoth is one of the trendiest spots to watch the sunset with a pisco sour and a ceviche. Yet it's much more than just a bar and restaurant; you can also listen to live music, view art exhibitions, or shop for gifts at the on-site design store.

    Paseo Dimalow 167, Valparaíso, Valparaíso, Chile
    32-335–4153

    Known For

    • Sunset views over the harbor
    • Creative Chilean sandwiches
    • Craft cocktails
  • 11. Hotel Brighton

    $$ | Cerro Concepción

    Seemingly dangling from the edge of Cerro Concepción, the bright yellow Hotel Brighton and its restaurant have an amazing view from the black-and-white-tiled terrace. The limited menu specializes in seafood, with such standards as ostiones a la parmesana (scallops on the half shell with Parmesan), as well as pizzas and burgers. It's also a great place to stop for a break to have a pisco sour or once (afternoon tea) on the terrace.

    Paseo Atkinson 151, Valparaíso, Valparaíso, Chile
    32-222–3513

    Known For

    • Relaxed and inviting atmosphere
    • Live music on weekends
    • Sweeping views
