Don't let the rather plain facade of this little restaurant fool you. I think that this may be the only place in Santiago to get a real, U.S. style, thick, health food smoothie. The owner, a young American woman named Miriam Harrison, uses flaked ice and a variety of local fruits to create a wide array of these delicious drinks. The restaurant is clean, and the employees attentive and eager to please. Most of the young staff seem to be proficient in English, and the specials are written out daily on colorful chalkboards. Hot, homemade soups were the order of the day, as I was there in June, which is wintertime in Santiago. Ms. Harrison and crew also makes homemade cookies and muffins daily, as well as the sauces for the sandwiches. Her pesto sauce is a delight, rich and thick with the olive oil delivering the basil flavor perfectly. Likewise the tandoori paste for the chicken panini that I had one day. Freshness of product seems to be an important part of this restaurant's theme; everything that I had there excited the taste buds. As I am partial to a good cafe latte, I ordered one here and received a hot, well flavored beverage with just the right amount of foam.
My favorite smoothie was "Banana All The Way",,,lots of banana, vanilla yogurt and soy milk. Unfortunately, I was not in Chile long enough to try all the different menu items at Suco. Whatever they have going with the pesto, I recommend! If the weather is cold, you must go with one of the soups; they are first class and a good value.

| | | | Verace: Best pizzas near Bellas Artes | Satisfaction: | | | | |
Verace is just your regular ordinary pizza place. Nothing fancy, with the pizza makers right on the window, and some 4 to 6 tables (without counting the bar), the place is cozzy if you feel hungry. What's best about it is not the place, but the incredibly tasty pizzas. No matter what the place looks like (if you're picky), breathe, calm down, and go in. You'll be amazed.
Just try any pizza. They're all so damn good. And, they're so cheap! $3.000 (around 6 US dollars), for a pizza and a soft beverage. And if you're not that hungry, you can always buy one or two slides (less than 2 dollars each).
Oh, and for dessert, do try the bitter chocolate ice-cream. The perfect end to an increadible meal.

Cross 2 streets, and almost close to the Cafe de la Artes, you'll find Verace.

| | | | hotel majestic: At last, something for vegetarians in Santiago | Satisfaction: | | | | |
As a vegetarian, Santiago De Chile was a very frustrating place to eat. With meat being the ubiquitous staple, discovering the Santiago city center hotel majestic Hindu restaurant, was like finding an Oasis in the desert.
While the decor is nothing special, the service is amazing and the food, even better.
As a big fan of the Indian food in Canada, I tried my favorite dish, vegetable vindaloo (called vegetable bind aloo here). This dish served up all the spiciness of its counterpart I'd eaten in Canada, but was somehow unique. The chana masala was also a wonderful blend of spices. Delicious!

The restaurant is located inside the Best Western Majestic City Center, on the left side.
