After reading about the hippie chic style of Jose ignacio you are interested in know a bit more?
Who goes to this little village during summer time can realize that it has something special. Pure style, full of charm and genuineness integrated to a low profile scene. There is almost no wi-fi there. Perfect to relax and enjoy the moment.
The gastronomic agenda is intense and varied. Hippie chic “on the beach” restaurants by day time, exclusive and modern with a touch of rusticity by night time. Here I will show you three of them that I had the amazing chance to get to know, but there is much more to come.
The most iconic restaurant of José Ignácio. Settled in Playa Brava, is fully booked every weekend from september to may. Absolutely a case of success. It doesn’t matter if it is warm or chill (thanks to stylish quilts and fireplaces). Make a reservation and be patient. The queues are huges (even with a table reserved) and they usually give priority to the habitués. Even so it worth every minute spent wainting. Delicious food, a vast wine menu and breathtaking views. But you should go there for the main reason so many people go: an impressive vibrant scene, in a rustic but chic place, full of charm and style.
The above pic shows the house’s classic, the pesca del dia (catch of the day). The couvert is served with some delicious bread. Everything is good, not excepcional, but with delicious taste. If you have some space, don’t hesitate to try the marvelous, unforgetable and perverse vulcano de dulce de leche. I didn’t take a photo to not remember the “pecado” I had made.
This incredible trendy restaurant in front of the beach at Playa Mansa was a terrific finding in our last visit. We used to have lunch at La Huella when going there. I think that La Susana came to offer the same level experience, even better I would say, more charming, once you are literally on the beach, without losing the Jose Ignacio’s high style. It’s perfect for a late lunch after a day spent on the beach just in front of the restaurant. The food is delicious. Don’t expect to much about the service, but it still worth because of the amazing inspiring vibe, not to mention the outstanding sunset you can enjoy just there, rocked by modern international DJ’s.

This was for sure the most surprising experience we had in Jose Ignacio. The restaurant is extraordinary in every detail: outstanding service, wonderful laid-back atmosphere, modern but charming at the same time, delicious food. The cuisine has Asiatic influence, but also serves remarkable meat grilled on the fire in the middle of the restaurant. Casual dining, with the Jose Ignacio stylish touch. To have a remarkable dinner.
