Rayuela Wine & Grill, viña viu manent — Restaurant in Santa Cruz

We had a wonderful lunch at Rayuela Wine & Grill, surrounded by beautiful views of the vineyards and horses from their open terraza, lovely winery & countryside setting. We went after the horse riding tour.

The almejas de Chiloé were the true highlight of the starters: ultra-fresh, soft, and perfect encurtido. The fried artichoke and Chilean empanada were also great, each perfectly prepared and full of flavor.

For the main courses, the tira de asado and lomo were outstanding — tender, juicy, and beautifully grilled. Every bite reflected the quality of local ingredients and careful cooking.

Dessert was the perfect finale: a silky flan with dulce de leche, both comforting and refined.

The wine pairing was exceptional — a Pinot Noir and a Malbec from Viu Manent that complemented each dish perfectly.

A truly memorable dining experience — relaxed, authentic, and delicious. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the...

Superbly nice place, fresh, relaxing ambiance. Impressive mud ovens where they cook meat or empanadas next to the fire.

It has a cafeteria next to the restaurant in case they tell you there is no tables available on the phone but you want to stop anyways. (they tend to do that, but you can probably find a table if you visit)

Dishes have no sides, but they are massive, so you can probably share them + a side or share the side. (side salad is like a full salad) Recommend the meats over the fish!

*the coffee shop also has fresh juices, sweet buns...

We’ve gone a couple times and we’ve always had great experiences. There menu will somewhat change depending on the season. Good quality beefs and beautifully plated. The side portions are abundant and for the most part very good. We’ve had there fries, mashed potatoes, different types of salads all delicious. Really good wine and the atmosphere and ambiance is really pretty. Love stopping here for lunch. The staff is really friendly and kind, they have always attended us...
