Patio Bellavista: Flavors of the world
Among the main attractions of the neighborhood is the Patio Bellavista, a nucleus in which a series of services converge, ranging from art galleries, craft shops, jewelry, fashion and souvenirs, ice cream parlors and pubs to more than 19 food restaurants international offering specialties of French, Italian, Mediterranean and Chilean cuisine, among others.
This exclusive place has varied terraces where you can enjoy live music shows from various national and international artists.
Its impressive color, architecture, design and contribution to the neighborhood have earned it a series of international awards, such as his selection to be exhibited in the Chile Pavilion of the Shanghai Expo 2010.
The culture in the Bellavista neighborhood is lived in all kinds of activities, whether traveling through the Paseo de las Artes in Ernesto Pinto Lagarrigue street, famous for its sidewalks decorated with mosaics of prominent Chilean artists, or in the 22 stages and theater sheds which make up the largest theater circuit in Chile that begins at the end of Chucre Manzur Street. However, La Chascona, the only house of the poet Pablo Neruda in Santiago, is undoubtedly one of his greatest cultural icons that allows him to delve into the intimacy of the poet in the home he shared with his wife Matilde Urrutia.
Hidden bars, the best Chilean food restaurants and a terrace with excellent views and sunsets make up the list of some of Bellavista's best secrets. The first one is the Room 09 bar in Antonia López de Bello 040, the first speakeasy bar in Santiago inspired by the clandestine premises of the Dry Law era in the United States, which can only be entered after eating at the restaurant gourmet 040 and say the key 'I want to know room number 9'. Another large hidden bar is 'Under Lock', rest in the underground of an old building in Nueva Rosal 344.
