拉斯塔里亚邻里

If your hotel is near the Cerro Santa Lucia, try wandering through the Barrio Lastarria, which is a quaint neighborhood with outdoor cafes/restaurants, shops, and street performers.

Barrio Lastarria is a short walk from our hotel, so we have eaten there almost every night this week!Bustling with stylish restaurants, great wine bars and the best ice cream in town (Emporio La Rosa.)

City workers sweep the street weekday mornings with hand brooms to clean up after folks who can't seem to find a garbage receptacle.

Great restaurants, homey atmosphere, people eating icecream and walking small dogs at all hours, little stalls, neighbourhood cafes...

Leafy street with many good restaurants and lots of foot traffic - good for people watching. Sidewalk vendors are interesting also.

I was recommended to go here, found it rubbish. not sure how its supposed to be, but the centre seems it was a plaza or something, but is now a big construction site. I expected street dining, but was little choice. one restaurant whined when i wanted a glass of wine and didn't want food. Another couple of restaurants in a side alley are actually in the entrance to a small mall or something. Better visit the restaurant are near mount Cristobal.

Worth a visit to this upscale abd relatively safe barrio ( but always keep your purse close). Nice restaurants, cafes and helado/gelato spots. Great walking and architecture viewing.

We stayed at the Hotel Ismael, just a few steps around the corner from Lastarria in which there are several good restaurants. We would do all that again.

Lovely area with lots of restaurants with outside tables; nice place to people watch.Central to many sites of Santiago. Easy to walk to from Plaza de Armas, La Moneda, GAM (Gabriela A> MIstral) center, etc. Boutique hotels.

This is a very nice "barrio". The street Lastarria is filled with small cosy restaurants that are very well priced compared with their quality. There are also plenty of locals eating here.

I sampled a few neighborhoods during my three week stay in Santiago and this by far is best. It embodies history, art, good food, and most of all the Chilean culture which really isn't represented in too many neighborhoods because of modernization, tall buildings (towers) and heavy traffic. I found Barrio Lastarria to be that neighborhood I could go to and enjoy a coffee outside. It is that neighborhood I could see street performers everyday playing for tips. It is that neighborhood with street vendors selling nice jewelry and antiques. It is that neighborhood, I could get great gourmet food. Finally, it is that neighborhood where I felt safe in even at night. Barrio Lastarria is a must see if you are traveling in Santiago, Chile. Happy Travels!!!

I visited this area on 4 separate evenings (Jan 21/22---Feb 12/13) during my 2 brief stays to the Santa Lucia Area of Santiago. The food & drinking areas were clean, many foreigners were in the area. There were Police Officers patrolling in the area making the area feel even safer. I ate at 4 places and all were of high quality and reasonably priced.I walked to/from my Hotel (Hotel Riviera) on Miraflores Street (about 10 minutes walk) in the evenings and never felt in any danger!

Probably the biggest concentration of "Spanish students" living, attending classes in Santiago, reasonably priced restaurants of all sorts, awesome old-school movie theatre "El BIografo" playing the best of European and non-Hollywood movies.

From the cosy Pisco houses and regional food to the fanciest villa-like restaurants, the neighbourhood comprises one of the best eating areas of Santiago as I could see. Near to the Santa Lucia station, there is also the Gabriela Mistral Culture Center and the charming Cerro Santa Lucia. In saturdays, there is a flea market in one of Lastarria alleys.

Neat walkaround area in Santiago. Saw lots of outlandish art, way out there fashion designs, a beautiful little church, fabulous building facades of neoclassical and beau arts design and so many marvelous restaurants!
