El Orto Sitio
Nestled among art galleries and night clubs in Barrio Bellavista sits the restaurant, El Otro Sitio. The restaurant's menu is Peruvian based with Chilean influences. The atmosphere is welcoming and the wait staff are friendly. White table clothes and monogrammed plates sit upon the tables. Upon taking your seat you will be politely asked if you would like a pisco sour. While tradition suggest you should start off your meal with a local drink, have no worries if you prefer another dinner drink as the bar stocks beer, and a decent size wine list. Given the Peruvian influences the menu is mainly seafood dishes with a couple of pasta and meat plates. If you have never tried ceviche, there could not be a better place than a Peruvian restaurant. Also upon looking at the menu you will find that half of the menu is composed of starters. So if you are in the mood for a tapas style dinner this place could easily suit your needs. But if you need bigger portions have no fear as many of the dishes are large and more than likely you will leave some food on your plate.
El Otro Sitio's good food and reasonably priced menu has made this place a popular destination for tourist and locals alike. In fact, its popularity has enabled it to open three additional restaurants throughout Santiago. So even if you are not in Barrio Bellavista, you may be able to enjoy this wonderful restaurant. Just have a look at their website, find the nearest branch and get your taste buds ready for a great meal at a local institution.
