Plaza Sotomayor: vista principal en Valparaíso, Chile, con el monumento y los edificios patrimoniales

Eating

Where to eat near the square

Around the square and the Barrio Puerto there is a range of food, though it is worth confirming each place before counting on it.

Where to look

The food offering is spread between the plan and the Barrio Puerto, in streets close to the square and the port axis. Many places serve both residents and visitors.

Instead of fixing on a specific name, it is more useful to orient yourself by the area and decide on the spot, checking the state of the place.

Instead of depending on a fixed list, it is more practical to identify the area and choose on the spot according to what is open. The neighbourhood and the plan concentrate the greatest variety of nearby options. The closeness of the plan and the neighbourhood lets you compare several options on foot within minutes. It is worth checking the state of each place before making up your mind.

How to choose without surprises

Opening hours and menus change frequently, and can be affected by the works in the area. Before sitting down, confirm that the place is open and what it offers.

If you are looking for a quick and cheap meal, also look at the options on the plan and not only those on the tourist front; they usually concentrate more moderate prices.

Works in the area can temporarily affect some establishments, as can changes of season. Confirming before you set off stops you arriving at a closed place. If you visit at peak times, there may be more of a wait in the places of the tourist sector. Those on the plan often offer alternatives just a few minutes away on foot.
