The place is cozy, especially sitting next to the fireplace. We enjoyed having original drinks such as "selva valdiviana" sour prepared with pisco and a mixture of murta berries and quince. This is a unique flavour that is typical from the South of Chile. In any case there is a large list of sours you can select from. The food is also quite good. As starters you can have fried "empanadas" filled with "locos" a kind of avalone that is very apreciated. The crab-pie (chupe de jaiba) is also very tasty. In general seafood and fish dishes are the specialties of this restaurant.

Went as part of large organized group. Drinks and appetizers were very good--especially the 'chupe de jaiba' which had everyone raving. High point was Thor at the massive grill, cooking 'lomo veitado' (which seemed similar to rib eye) to perfection. Pleasant, simple ambiance. Would definitely go again if I return to Valdivia.

I happened by this little restaurant in Valdivia while on my way to the bus terminal, and stopped in for some dinner. It is a very charming little Peruvian place. The food and wine are both quite good (the best food I had in Valdivia), and the hospitality even better. I am eternally grateful for all the work that went into finding me accommodations when I inadvertently missed my overnight bus back to Santiago. Anyway, I liked it so much that I went back the next night as well. The staff even checked my ticket for me to make sure I would be on time.
