History

Arrival in Santiago

The Argentine presence in Santiago is one of neighbors and of ebbs and flows: every crisis on either side of the Andes has brought people and recipes. Argentine-style grills, pastas and pan pizza have been part of the city for decades, and in many Chilean restaurants the menu shares asado, empanadas and milanesas without anyone asking which side they come from.

Today Argentine cooking is concentrated in the nightlife neighborhoods and office districts: grills in Providencia, Bellavista and Barrio Italia, Buenos Aires-style pizzerias in Ñuñoa and cafés with medialunas across the eastern sector. Sunday asado, dulce de leche and mate are part of Santiago's everyday landscape.
