Santiago is one of the more cosmopolitan areas of Sth America. You can find a large variety of cuisines to tempt the palate. Italian, Arabian, Japanese and Mexican just to name a few. Of course, you can still dine on the more traditional Latin American dishes and Peruvian menus are plentiful.
Cheese empanadas with salsa and schops ( local beers) are a great refreshment after a morning of exploring. Crudo which is raw mince dish, similar to tartare, spiced up with lemon juice, onion and green chile. Yet to sample this dish but it has been recommended. Huesillos is a traditional Chilean summer time , non alcoholic drink made from wheat, dried peaches, honey and cinnamon. Locals wonder the streets spooning this concoction into their mouths. Luckily we are still in pisco sour territory! Down the hatch !
