Frommer's Review

When all you want is a light meal and a well-prepared cocktail, Barlovento fits the bill. Considering this, it is an ideal spot if you're looking for a relaxed night out but a scene that is lively. Barlovento is popular with the young adult crowd, and it can get busy on weekends. Barlovento's minimalist look of cement, steel, and glass exudes a city-chic atmosphere. The second floor has wraparound windows, and there is a subterranean wine cellar for tastings. The menu features a few heartier dishes such as steak and pasta, but it's mostly wraps, sandwiches, salads, and appetizer platters to share among friends. The bartenders here really know how to make a proper cosmopolitan and a bloody mary, not easily found in Chile. Barlovento often has live DJ music on weekends.

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.
