Okay, so maybe you don't want to eat Indian food in Chile. But it is the most delicious Indian food in perhaps the entire continent, seriously. I ate there four times in two weeks, that's how lovely it was.
Calle Santa Domingo
Nearest station: Santa Ana
A new hostel in Santiago. You can get a good night's sleep in the clean, well decorated rooms. The people who own it are incredibly lovely, like all Chilenos. The location is good, but not noisy.
You can cross the bridge and you're in the main nightlife area, Providencia. The hostel is also conveniently close to some Spanish language schools.
Calle Triana 863, Providencia.
Nearest metro stop: Salvador
A great restaurant and bar right in the middle of Jardin de la Union. You can drink and eat outside and enjoy the people watching. The Jardin is beautiful and you also get a view of the incredible Teatro Juarez, whose front steps are always full of people and street performers.
As well as nearby music from mariachis, the restaurant often puts up its big screen TV so you can enjoy the big football games. Something for everyone!
Jardin de la Union (centre Plaza)
It's an excellant bar, very bohemian and funky, not just for students at the Spanish schools but also for locals who study at the renowned local University.
