    A nice little experience in the Chilean countryside where a country house has been converted into a small restaurant. Typical Chilean dishes.

    The place is simple, particularly cozy and peaceful. A friendly spot. The owner, Pilar, is very attentive and takes great care of her customers, greeting them with a warm smile. Moreover, her house has a huge patio where you can eat peacefully, enjoying the generous shade of the trees. Without a doubt, the best empanadas and corn cakes in the area—very tasty and readily available when hunger strikes. I especially recommend the shredded beef and cheese empanada. Exquisite!
