 Great restaurant, L'Endroit; had lunch here after a failed dinner attempt the night before, none of the restaurants here are open for dinner! Just lunch for day-trippers from either Santiago or the coast |
 Their menu - Robert had the Costellar (a pork cutlet) and I had the Plateada (basically a pot roast but really good) |
