Fodor's Expert Review La Casona

This restaurant is run by the González family—the mother cooks, her husband and son serve—and they all exude a genuine warmth to everyone who walks in the door. There's plenty of traditional Chilean fare on the menu, including Patagonian cordero (roasted lamb), their standout centolla (king crab) and langostino (lobster), and the hearty filete casona—roast beef with bacon, mushrooms, and potatoes. The design is orderly and pleasant, with fresh flowers in a vase on tables covered with white linen.
