Bali Hai Restaurant in Santiago

Ten of our staff went to Bali Hai restaurant at the end of last year and of course we did some serious eating, drinking and general indulging, oh, and we even took some photos while we were there. It was a Monday night, it was packed with photo-trigger-happy tourists that had just been unloaded from tour buses, but we still managed to enjoy the night. Since my eternal To-Do list never stops growing it is only now that I could put up our review and some photos of the place.

You can see our comments about the restaurant here at: Bali Hai
And you may want to see some photos of the traditional Chilean / Polynesian dance show while you are at it.

Basically it comes down to the food was good, the show was very well done though it still doesn’t beat my favourite place for a typical Chilean show at Los Buenos Muchachos. (Yes, I have photos from the many times we’ve been there too but it’s also on the To-Do list).

Has anyone else been to Bali Hai? What did you think of it?

7th Anniversary Indulgence

My wife and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary last night and what better way to do it than staying home and watching TV. No, just joking. We went out to one of our favourite restaurants last night that is in Bellavista call Como Agua Para Chocolate. If you haven’t been there, do so. It isn’t cheap at all though the fantastic ambience and great food make it more than worthwhile.

Last night the restaurant was PACKED!!! We hadn’t made a reservation so we had to wait about half an hour for a table to be free (we weren’t in a hurry and the Pisco Sours were good). Not bad for a Monday night. I was surprised by the amount of Brazilians roaming around the streets of Bellavista last night. We could hear their happy Portuguese dancing through the air at every moment.

We did a review of the restaurant back in July 2008 and took some photos which you can see at Como Agua Para Chocolate. Keep an eye out for the table that is made out of a bed with pillows included. Magical!



We took this photo the first time we went on a week day in winter when lunch had already finished (hence no people). Don't you just love the decoration?

Como Agua Para Chocolate Restaurant

Como Agua Para Chocolate is a great restaurant we visited last week in the bohemian Bellavista part of Santiago. It's a restaurant where you feel you just walked onto a movie set where Antonio Banderas or Penelope Cruz will come out and start feeding you chocolate-dipped strawberries.

Based on the book which gives the restaurant its name (In English: Like water for chocolate), this restaurant has a very romantic setting including a fountain amongst the tables and even a table made out of a bed with the pillows included at the head of it...
