Savinya

Frommer's Review

Savinya is part of the Hotel del Mar and known for its outstanding haute cuisine. It's Viña's most refined, and expensive, restaurant, and the place to go if you're looking to blow your budget on a special meal. Still, when compared to restaurants of the same caliber in the U.S., the prices at Savinya could be considered quite reasonable. The menu changes seasonally, but what doesn't change is the chef's impeccable technique and presentation of each dish, blending uncommon flavors and textures that work surprisingly well together, and complemented by a list of palate-pleasing wines. On my last visit, I enjoyed an appetizer of king crab, pistachio, and sweet pea, served with quail eggs and black caviar; an entree of creamy asparagus-and-scallop risotto; and a dessert of green apple sorbet with a muscatel sauce. Attentive, agreeable service comes with the price, as does an elegant-chic ambience, and gigantic picture windows that offer a gorgeous view overlooking the ocean.
