Gastronomic Proposals in Providencia

Far from wishing to provide an exclusively gastronomical service, the hotels in Providencia stand out for offering a first level and high competitiveness gastronomy. A detail to be born in mind by those guests who wish to eat well and healthily without leaving the facilities.

Hotel Torremayor
    
Chosen by the most demanding sybarites, it was inaugurated in 1994. Its style features Mediterranean architecture and it is located in one of the most emblematic and beautiful streets in Providencia. Its name refers to the typical towers located in the main squares in Spanish and Italian villages. With a cozy and pleasant decoration, the use of national wood, both in the furniture and in the common spaces, provides a kind of atmosphere appraised by all guests.
Multiple congresses, fashion parades, outstanding figures and international sports delegations have been warmly welcomed by the hotel staff, who guarantees a charming stay.
The Restaurante Los Arcos works inside the venue, where the taste and the aroma of the meals are perfectly combined to make guests stay longer than expected…

Los Arcos Restaurant
    
Its name means "the arches" in English and it refers to the architecture of the building, with plenty of arches according to the best Mediterranean style. This site has a bar inviting customers to spend a pleasant moment before sitting at a table. They can enjoy a typical Chilean pisco sour or multiple apéritifs.
Chef Marcos Picón is the head of the kitchen. His wise knowledge lets him combine the traditional Italian food in fusion recipes. His creations result in dishes of delicious flavors, with varied colors and exquisite aromas.
We advise customers to order some large oysters in Parmisan cheese sauce for a starter. The oysters are cooked with cream in wine, Parmisan cheese and a pinch of oregano. Then, they are gratinéed with powerful heat in its very shell.

To follow this line, but keeping the Italian stamp, we recommend that you order therisotto nero tutto mare. This combination of risotto with skid ink and seafood flambéed in sherry wine will certainly make you feel more than satisfied.
For dessert, we present the two alternatives we liked best: Charlotte al cioccolato, which features a fine timbale of grated sponge cake, stuffed with chocolate mousse over maracuja coulis; or Tarte Tatín, which is an apple tart in warm caramel over vanilla sauce, accompanied by a tulip-shaped cup of almonds and ice-cream.

The wine list includes bottles of the best known wineries in Chile, such as Concha y Toro, Tarapacá, Santa Rita and Viña Mar.
The restaurant is open to the public in general. This is a very quiet place where customers may enjoy a business lunch or social gatherings to spend a pleasant moment.

Hotel Diego de Velázquez

Located in the heart of Providencia, this is one of the most sophisticated hotels in the market in the City of Santiago. It offers traditional service as well as special amenities for those who enjoy more spacious environments.
Featuring modern avant-garde decoration, its luxurious rooms have all you need for a pleasant stay. Furthermore, the large convention rooms equipped with new amplifier systems, computer and audio-visual media provide a complete organization of seminars and meetings for companies, along with the best assistance and results.
It houses Oliva’s Restaurant, where lovers of good cuisine spend very nice moments at lunch, cocktails or dinner.

Its team of chefs creates elaborate recipes to satisfy the most demanding palates. Paulo Gacitua, a highly experienced chef, is in charge of the kitchen.
Its name is reminiscent of the taste of olive oil, usually employed to make delicious preparations. The place is cozily ornamented with plants and paintings of attractive colors.

In this opportunity, we recommend some large oysters and prawns en brochette or venison carpaccio with Parmesan cheese as a starter.
As a main course, those who enjoy lean meat should try boar rib in merkén and coriander.
When it comes to fish, grouper grilled on a griddle with a spinach and blue cheese roll in chilo dough and date sauce in white wine.
For dessert, we recommend to order the Sevillian cream gratinéed with chocolate brittle and nuts compote with papaya honey, or else a suspiro limeño. Delicious.

Oliva’s Restaurant has a select wine list that includes wineries such as Altum, Montes Alpha, Casa Silva and Terramater. We recommend that you pay a visit.
