Restaurante Don Chicho, VIñA del Mar

Located in the small fishing harbour of Higuerilla, this restaurant, which dates back to the mid-seventies, offers a wonderful view of the ocean, and is a favourite stopoff for all those who enjoy a fresh plate of fish or seafood. The main dining area can seat up to one hundred, is decorated in a rustic style, and is also an excellent place to watch the comings and goings of the local people outside. Expect fine service from the waiting staff, who recommend the "Congrio Emeterio" (conger eel) garnished with shrimp cooked in butter and parmesan cheese. A bottle of wine costs between CLF 4000 and 14000 per bottle, and the establishment has its own car park.
