Greca
Av. Italia 857, Providencia

This restaurant is just arround the corner from Patio, ideal for lunch, because they have a menu that is not more expensive than CLP 3800 (USD 7 aprox) and it includes a soda, water or wine! the wine is always from a good winery and enough. Lunch is tasty and convinient. During lunchtime is only non smoker. At night the place offers different dishes that mix greek, mediterranean and chilean food. Greca is a restaurant with a good service, good food and reasonable prices. Totally reccomendable!

UPDATE (May 30th, 2010): Greca is a good place for having lunch, the price is very convenient. But lately I've seen it closed at times when it should have been opened to public. I still recommend it for lunch. For dinner pick something else up.

De Cangrejo a Conejo

Av. Italia 805 Providencia ** Santiago

Just around the corner from Patio Suizo is this wonferful restaurant, one of our very favourite restaurants, overhead in sommer. The reason, the gorgeous backyard they have combined with an excelent a la carte menu and a great selection of wines. The name of the restaurant "De Cangrejo a Conejo" means "from Crab to rabbit" and it gives you an idea of how the menu is. They have everything meat, pasta, fish, shellfish, etc. You can chose among 12 dishes combined with different salads and joined by great chilean wines. It's a stylish restaurant and the service is very good as well. You can have lunch there or dinner. For lunch time they have a Menu (12 USD) with main course, a glass of wine, water or sodas, dessert & coffe or tea. If you wanted something else you can always order a la carte.

We really reccomend you to go there!

They open from Mo - Fri from 1 pm to 4 pm for lunch; 8 pm to 1 am for dinner

Sat from 8 pm to 1 am for dinner

cheers!

Sushi

"Bushido"

Av. Bilbao 399, esquina Condell, Providencia * Santiago

Sushi is something we usually find fresh in Chile, since we have lots of fish around here. Lately, Sushi has become so popular here in Santiago that you will find a Sushi restaurant almost everywhere. Near Patio Suizo, a few steps away (you only have to walk 100 meters...or less) is the restaurant BUSHIDO. It's a comfortable place with tables and chairs and also a sofa, sushi tastes great and fresh, they have very good drinks (reccomended: Pisco Sour and raspberry sour) and the best is that the prices are very reasonable! Service is good as well. For two people you spend something about CLP $15.000.- (USD 33 aprox.) and you're ok.

In spring and summer you can sit outside.

They have delivery as well. You can order per telefone or personally.

cheers!

UPDATE (May 30th, 2010): Bushido is still a very good place for sushi, prices rised a little bit in comparison to last year but the quality is just as good and the rolls always tasty. Drinks are still very convenient.
