Bar Liguria Luis Thayer Ojeda — Restaurant in Providencia

Liguria offers an authentic taste of Chilean cuisine cooked to absolute perfection. I had the incredible traditional chicken stew, with tender chicken, served with rice and papas fritas. The wait staff were attentive, always making sure we were taken care of.

The atmosphere is wonderfully cozy and the art and decor make you feel like you are in 1965. You could linger here for hours with friends enjoying exceptional Chilean wine and the warmth of this place.

Be sure to ask the waiters about the story of the two brothers who opened this bistro. You'll find they have poured their love of Chilean culture and cuisine into every detail of Liguria.

The place is really contemporary. There are two main rooms with totally different decoration, both beautiful. For the Santiago’s standard, the price there is very ok. The plate more expensive was about 9500 Chilean pesos. I ordered an Ossobuco with spicy purée and was delicious. Usually there is a line and you wait about 20 to 30 minutes to get a table. There is a very diverse drink menu there, including the famous Piscos. My reason for the three start is because of the service. It’s was very messy when I arrive there, nobody is at the door to tell you what to do, I had to talk with three waiters until one understand me and told me that I had to find the guy who was responsible to find a table for me. Besides that, the waiter who served me gave the preferences for the table with more people, since I was alone, and because of that, the service...

Nauseating and expensive. The shrimp entree was almost raw, the swordfish with algae "ceviche" was soaking with vinegar. I became nauseated just by the smell of it and was unable to eat it.

But for me, the worse thing is being dishonest in the menu and not displaying the dish's components truthfully. I ordered a ceviche and receive a vinegar soup with vinagrete upon asking, I confirmed that was the right dish. OK then.

Considering Liguria's price tag, makes everything worse. 41000 CLP for something that's uttermostly disgusting isn't reasonable.

Definitely that was my worse meal since I came to Santiago, almost...
