Fauna Bar Restaurant

Beautiful view and good drinks. In terms of food it’s a solid option, though there are better restaurants in town. They’re also open all day (don’t close between lunch and dinner) which is a plus.

I cannot give this jewel of Valpariso enough stars! The food is nothing less than exceptional, the staff is attentive, and the atmosphere is so relaxed. If you are ever in the Valpariso or Vina Del Mar area, you MUST stop here!

The view looked amazing and the menu interesting, but the hostess was outright rude and unhelpful when trying to secure a reservation. She didn’t care and couldn’t be bothered — so much so that I was compelled to right this review. For such a fun loving, bohemian city — it felt so
snobby & pretentious. We decided to take our business elsewhere and got a delicious meal and an equally breathtaking view. :)

We spent 9 days in chile, 3 of which were spent in Valparaiso. We had our best meal here. Each of the 4 of us ordered a different seafood dish and all were outstanding. The setting on the bay is lovely!

Book a table in order to get the best table for you. The view is beautiful and food is good. Nothing special but for example risotto of 3 quinoas is ok.

Absolutely loved this place for brunch. Not the cheapest meal you’ll eat in Valpo. But not the most expensive either. Great views, good service. We even experienced so live music. A big fan.

Stumbled upon this place while walking the hills of Valpo. So glad we did! First, the view from the outdoor patio is amazing. Sweeping panorama of Valpo and the sea. We started with white wine and the octopus appetizer. My God the octopus was the best ever. Tender, nicely grilled with a fantastic dressing. We then had the fish special. Something the waiter translated as «old woman.» It was awesome served on risotto. Service was professional and friendly. We were treated to a local jazz duo playing on the patio to a full house of diners. It was really a perfect experience and topped off our Chilean vacation.

So, I walked by this place like a million times, only bc I thought it was too pricey. Finally went as an occasion/​destination to find that the food and drinks are great, as suspected, but not too pricey at all. And a grand deviation from typical Chilean food. The view is spectacular, not to be missed!

One of the best spaces in Valparaiso. Great views of the water and an awesome deck with seating. Would recommend the vegetarian apple, brie, and avocado sandwich and the nutella ice cream as well.

Came here on the recommendation of one of the owners of our Inn. The area is next to one of the oldest funiculars (Queen Victoria) in town. It’s worth the 100 peso (.25 cents) fee for the view alone! On to the review.
The restaurant is partially indoors and partially outdoors. Our table was right on the edge of the indoor space so we had an excellent view of both Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar. I think as a tourist, there’s nothing like seeing a panorama on your first night of a city. The service was a bit slow at first, we probably didn’t order for at least 10 – 15 minutes. My initial impression was shaky.
The food and drink more than made up for it though. I had a local craft beer, which was surprisingly good given Chile’s not so stellar reputation in this department (great wine and pisco though). We split an appetizer, of cheese, tomatoes, bread and onions on a little pan grill and it was supremely delicious. A great serving size for two people.
The main course I ordered was a mix of quinoa with grilled shrimp baked in. I would never have thought of mixing the two, but they’re that odd couple that you don’t think would work out but actually are perfect for each other. My girlfriend ordered a beef dish with potatoes and I marveled at her that you never order meat at a seafood oriented place, and even they nailed the beef just right.
Overall, don’t expect the swiftest service. Do enjoy the views and I’m surprised this place wasn’t over run by tourists. Our table was one of few that were speaking English. Definitely worth a visit for the tasty bites. Check out the catch of the day, I would have tried it if I hadn’t eaten salmon earlier.

Really amazing food — their chocolate lava cake is mouth watering, I went a couple of times just for that.
All of their fish entrees also melt in your mouth
The view is incredible, try to get an outside table if you can, they will bring you blankets in the evening if it get too cold.
The only downside is it is very touristic, you won’t find many locals hanging out there.

Wow, wow, wow. We found this spot last year. The most amazing outdoor bar/​restaurant you’ll experience in Valpo. I hesitated reviewing this place because I wanted it to remain my secret go to spot.
You want amazing views, amazing food. Amazing drinks. This is it! From the moment you set foot in this place you just get this overwhelming feel for Valpo. I’m telling you this review does not do this place justice. The food is just incredible. I can spend hours here. And I have. Perched on top of a hill, overlooking Cerro Alegre.
I can’t emphasize enough the urgency to visit this jewel of a place.

4 stars for the patio with amazing views of Valparaiso. Really picturesque. I loved how they had an animal on every table (representing «fauna»). Conveniently located on Cerro Alegre by the Queen Victoria funicular, we took the funicular for Cerro Concepcion and walked over.
This is a new eco friendly building, which is much welcome in an area where many of the buildings are just old and run down.
This also serves as a hotel and restaurant, but they oddly didn’t have most of the menu available when we stopped by. Only sandwiches and desserts. A shame, because I would have loved to try some of their appetizers. The menu appears to be Peruvian (they market it as «International»).
The mojito I ordered was less sweet than I usually like them, but some might prefer it this way. Be sure to stir!

No me gustó, pedí cordero con risoto y setas, el cordero durisimo y son sabor, solo me comí el risoto y las setas. No recomendable. La atención pésima.
Muy buena vista.

Uno de mis lugares favoritos en mi Valparaiso. Excelente vista, exquisitos platos y tablas para compartir comida mediterránea
