restaurant is a plaza in miniature. Serves Central and South
American cuisines. Live Latin music accompanies standard but
solid Chilean fare on weekends.

a la plancha (grilled mackerel). The chatty owners, two female
school teachers, frequent the place after classes and on weekends.

Restorán De Peyo
First-rate Chilean food at reasonable prices, De Peyo's is
hard to beat. A mixed group of working and middle-class Chileans
enjoys a night out here in a family atmosphere.
The hot sauce and the garlic and avocado spreads in themselves
warrant a visit, but the beef dishes, especially the plateada,
a Chilean version of roast beef, are what put this restaurant
on the map. Hours: Closed Sun. Credit cards: AE, DC, MC, V.
Address: Av. Grecia 448 and Lo Encalada 465, Ñuñoa, Santiago
