Arica has a mild, temperate climate with some of the lowest annual rainfall rates anywhere in the world, consequently there are rarely any clouds over Arica.

At the location of the city are two lush valleys that dissect the Atacama Desert converge: Azapa and Lluta. These valleys provide fruit for export.

Después de visitar el museo con las momias de Chinchorro , almorzamos en San Miguel de Azapa donde está este rústico restaurant. Solamente habÃa un mozo atendiendo pero se manejó muy bien en los tiempos. Platos abundantes y muy buenos.

While looking for a nice place to have lunch, my wife and I stumbled into Akun. Located inside Casa Beltran Hotel Boutique, Akun fit exactly what we were looking for. We were delighted by great food featuring a fusion of Chilean and Peruvian flavors and excellent service to boot.

We are La Bicicleta café, experts in classic Chilean sandwiches and hamburgers. A different place where quality and good taste is mixed.

A great spot for lunch. Burgers are very good. Fresh ingredients, big size and very tasty. Good value but a larger portion of fries (included with the burger) would make this place perfect. Definitely worth a visit if you like a good burger. Friendly staff and quick service in pleasant surroundings.

We went on a really busy afternoon. It is very popular with locals and the food is basic traditional Chilean fare. The staff seemed friendly despite the busyness, with the exception of our slightly stroppy young waiter which was unfortunate, but it was still nice.

Finding a decent place to eat in Arica seems harder than it should be: you can walk around downtown for a while and see very few decent restaurants. So with limited choices, the attractive looking Cafe del Mar stands out. When we arrived for dinner, we were "sold" by the blackboard outside promising a 3-course salmon dinner at a reasonable price. The deal was also on the printed menu. Unfortunately, the waiter told us that was only available for lunch. It's incomprehensible to me for a restaurant to leave a blackboard outside for a special that's not being offered, but things aren't always so straightforward in Chile.We then scrambled to find something else to order, as there aren't a lot of obvious dinner choices on the menu. We decided on seafood crapes and hamburgers as alternatives. Both were reasonably priced (4000 to 5000 pesos, as I recall) and tasty. The food was well prepared, and the service was decent, considering how busy the restaurant was (which I attributed to few other decent dinner options). Bottomline, not a terrific dining experience, but a decent one. I doubt you'll do much better in downtown Arica.

Extraordinary dinner in Arica. The best restaurant of our Northern Chilean trip. A traditional restaurant, with ceviche and grilled fish prepared to perfection. Special thanks to the waiter who helped us nicely to choose a tasty Chilean white wine. Donât miss it though it is in a hidden quiet corner.

Tercer piso del maravilloso hotel Antay de Arica, frente al ferrocarril Arica-Tacna. El ambiente grato, aunque un poco fome, llegaba amable de garzones y garzonas, buena recepción, pero las sillas para bebes no son de lo mejor, podrÃan mejorar en eso. La comida es de cocina internacional, claramente con tendencias europeas, los platos bastante buenos y bien terminados, muy sabrosos, yo pedà un filete y mu mujer un atún, ambos quedamos muy conformes con los platos, mis hijas menu para niños que no era gran cosa, pero aceptable. Muy buena carta de vinos y exquisitos postres, recomendamos la copa de helados que es realmente maravillosa, son helados artesanales de gran calidad.La cuenta debe haber sido el único problema, pues salio por dos niñas y dos adultos más de $80.000.-, incluyendo botella de vino sÃ, no es el más caro, pero he pagado menos por mejores lugares.La atención de los garzones excelente.De todas formas es recomendable para los huespedes del hotel y visitas a la ciudad, entiendo que es los mejores 5 lugares de Arica.
