Nostradamus, specializing in food from Southern Chile
English speaking, which is somewhat unusual here. The owner's name is Sergio, and he will usually come and greet you personally.
The decor is nice. The restaurant is in a converted turn-of-the-century house, and the music is usually jazz (a blessed relief from the almost ubiquitous salsa music)
Cordero 'al palo', which is essentially seasoned lamb roasted whole on a spit. The seafood selections are also good. Chile prides itself on shellfish ('mariscos'), but I prefer fish. Lenguado (similar to flounder) and congrio (an eel-like thing that tastes a bit like cod) are two good selections. Remember to ask for 'pebre', a spicy tomato/onion/cilantro mix that is eaten on bread as an appetizer. Leave a Comment
