La Playa - Valparaiso

Bar La Playa is a historic bar with plenty of charm. Unfortunately I have none of the foods (I hear the seafood is delicious), but I have several of the best Pisco sours that I had all my time in Chile! 10/10 would come back!

If you want to go to a historical diving bar, this is the place. Order the large plate of beer and relax while you only try a straight line at the place.

Great atmosphere and atmosphere. Order pisco sours and empanadas.

On a cold and rainy day we were looking for shelter in La Playa for lunch. The very attentive waiter treated us to his own version of "menu del dia ' with a delicious seafood soup, roast chicken and salad and for my friends, a delicious fried fish and a small desert. We had a reasonable Carmen wine and everything he did for a perfect hold. Although we speak very little Spanish, the older waiter who has been working there for many years was gracious and tried to make our visit special.

I had a very tasty lunch here last week with a friend. The dining room is dominated by a very old, wooden bar that is quite beautiful and historic. There's an old cash register and other antique items that add to the flavor of the place. The food was quite good. For an appetizer, we shared Machas a la Parmesana. They were good but a bit overcooked. For the main dish I had grilled reineta with mixed salad and my friend had paila marina. Everything arrived quickly and was good. There was only one waiter, but he was extremely efficient and attentive. While we were there a charming street musician came in with an accordion and he played and sang several songs which we enjoyed quite a lot. The rest of the time we were there the sound system was playing all Elvis songs (there are many Elvis and Marilyn Monroe photos on the walls). Just as we were leaving, the waiter switched the music to tangos, I wish I had asked him to change the music earlier!
