DathyDAmbrosía serves Chilean French cuisine, while incorporating elements of other Latin American cuisine. The restaurant is hidden in a residential area and was renovated from an independent house, with different rooms becoming different dining areas. Pushing open the iron gate outside, the yard is full of green plants, and the exterior walls of the low-rise house are covered with green vines. The interior of the restaurant is full of details, with various small bonsai embellishments and small furnishings, which are dazzling. This environment reminds me of Suhring, a restaurant in Bangkok, where it is also such a leisurely afternoon, with the sun lazily pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The menu is only in Spanish, and a waiter will come to translate it into English. There are not many lunch dishes, with one page each for the appetizer, main course, and dessert. The buns are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they are delicious with seasoned butter. Foie gras rallado, with poached apple and brittle. Foie gras crumbs with apples and hard candy crumbs. I didn't know it was cold when I ordered it. When it came, the brittle was hard and sticky, which was totally different from the soft and melt-in-the-mouth foie gras crumbs. The taste was weird. Mozzarella with basil pesto, red fruits and prosciutto. Mozzarella cheese is very fresh and sweet, paired with strawberry, grape ham, and mixed with basil pesto. This combination is safe and creative, I like it. Fresh pasta: homemade linguine, grana padano sauce, seaweed, and powder of shiitake. Freshly made handmade pasta, paired with grana padano cheese sauce, seaweed, mushrooms, and enoki mushroom powder. It's another traditional and safe method with a little creativity. This is the first time I've seen the combination of seaweed and enoki mushroom powder in pasta. Surprisingly, the overall taste is very rich and the sauce is very delicious. Fish of the day, with cauliflower purée and vegetables. The fish is simple to cook, fried until slightly browned on the outside, and paired with cauliflower puree and vegetables. It looks plain, but tastes very good. The dishes here are not fancy, tartare, fish, pasta, burgers, but each of the ordinary dishes we ordered has unique details, which makes people very happy.

乐天的静You can't go wrong with Peruvian food as it's easily noticed. Good and friendly service backed up by a quick turnaround of a wide variety of dishes that give a glimpse of what Peru is like. Tiradito de Pescado Con Leche de Tigre and Cachaça and Ceviche are a must. It's nice to know that Peru isn't far away. I mean...

DathyDBackground: Boragó is ranked 26th in the world's top 50 and is the best restaurant in Chile. Chef Rodolfo Guzmán is known as a geobiologist in the culinary world. He goes to great lengths to find ingredients. From the Atacama Desert in the north of Chile to Patagonia in the south of Chile, from new ingredients that are unknown and undiscovered to ingredients that have been forgotten; from the coastal coastline to the Chilean mountains, he cooks all kinds of Chilean cuisine. In addition, he also advocates zero-kilometre cooking, and many dishes are produced from his own orchard, which is a 30-minute drive from Boragó. Environment: The restaurant is located in the Vitacura district of Santiago. The interior and exterior design style is extremely simple. While using a lot of wood, it is all straight lines and deep and light gray from the outside to the inside. After entering the main hall, you will see a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside the window is Cerro Manquehue, the highest mountain in Santiago. The restaurant is at the foot of the mountain. We sat down at 8pm. It was still daytime outside the window. The light shone into the hall, which was bright and comfortable. We ate all the way until the evening. The sun went down, and the sky changed from white to yellow, from yellow to blue, and finally to the dark night. I felt excited just by watching the mountain scenery change with the light and shadow through the floor-to-ceiling fan. Overall feeling: I can give full marks to the presentation of Boragó's dishes. I have eaten a lot of fine dining with good appearance, but the overall appearance here can still be ranked in the top three of all the restaurants I have eaten. The ingredients of the dishes are also full marks. The chef is famous for his going up mountains and down seas to find ingredients, such as rainwater in southern Chile, lamb from Patagonia, shellfish meat that cannot be translated into Chinese, etc. Many of the ingredients are the first time I have eaten. In terms of food cooking skills, the taste of each ingredient is perfectly preserved, especially the picoroco crudo. The taste and flavor of each ingredient jump on the tip of the tongue separately, but also compose a harmonious movement. The shortcomings are that the first taste is too strange. Several dishes are too salty or too sour. Some dishes do perfectly restore the taste of the ingredients, but the combination of several ingredients is very speechless. It's like overlapping various colors, and the final result is only black. The second point is that there are some problems with the combination of hot and cold, soft and hard dishes. There are few hot dishes in the whole meal. The dishes are sometimes hot and sometimes cold, and sometimes warm. The taste is sometimes soft and sometimes hard. The combination of various raw ingredients, weird ingredients, and strange tastes makes it very uncomfortable to eat. In the end, I really felt uncomfortable in my stomach. Even so, the overall score is still very high. If every dinner is a food tour, then the overall vibe of Borag& is still very good. There are many places that I may not like, but I still need to come and see; many restaurants may not suit my taste, but I also need to experience them. Borag& is such a restaurant.
