Frommer's Review

Breathing new life into a staid Bellavista dining scene, Amorío is the restaurant of the moment and part of the Mori Cultural Center that, along with a theater and art cinema, is housed inside a beautifully recycled old mansion that sat unused for far too long. The dining area is one of the chicest ambiences in Santiago: think retro-style hibiscus-flower wallpaper, exposed brick walls, refurbished Louis XIV chairs, parquet floors and lots of soft halogen lighting. The first floor is more formal, with a full menu, and the second is more casual and offers a tapas menu and cocktails. The food strives for "new" cuisine that is finding its way onto Santiago menus, and it is inconsistent but on average decent. Try the asado de tiro estofado, a tender stewed beef, and save room for dessert.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
