If you haven’t seen The Menu (fine dining satire-horror), don’t watch it before you come to this place – it’s Ralph Fiennes’ restaurant, without all the murder. The service is devastatingly efficient yet somehow warm and welcoming, the atmosphere is brilliantly stark but controlled so as to focus all the attention on what you’re ingesting, and food is simply unparalleled. Bold, ridiculous preparations, otherworldly flavours, all highlighting Chilean ingredients. I ate whole flowers, a mushroom ice cream bar, and a barnacle, and I loved every second of it. I drank a tomato gazpacho out of a giant tomato served in a tomato garden, through a straw made of its own stalk.
It’s a life experience. Part meal, part interactive museum that makes you feel like a kid again. My wife and I are in our early thirties and on our honeymoon. We love nothing more than eating great food, but we’re not rich – this was very much a splurge for us. And while it’s exorbitantly expensive, it’s worth absolutely every penny.

A must visit in Santiago! Hands down the best meal I’ve had in the whole of South America.
In my opinion, the overall experience and quality of food surpassed other Michelin restaurants such as Lasai, Oro and Arambaru.
Every single dish had a wow factor, was aesthetically pleasing, and was an absolute treat to the tastebuds.
The dining environment was spacious and pleasant, the waiters were very helpful and attentive.
Special thanks to our delightful sommelier Luis, we appreciated the experience very much!

Boragó truly feels like one of the finest restaurants in Chile. Every dish was prepared with great care and was absolutely delicious.
Through the use of diverse ingredients sourced from different regions of Chile, as well as various fermentation techniques, we could clearly sense the chef’s vision, intention, and spirit of challenge behind each course.
For guests with limited fine dining experience, the cuisine may feel complex or even challenging. However, in my case, it was an incredibly enjoyable and inspiring experience.
If you have the opportunity, I would highly recommend experiencing this restaurant at least once.

Barnacles, bamboo and cactus, oh my! We have eaten our way around the world. We love innovative and creative foods. That said tonight was a pinnacle. We ate foods we would have never considered as an edible option and each of the 16 courses was incredibly presented. Words truly fail me as to how mind blowing we found this experience. (Virtually everything was edible). Note, this is not a place for those who only enjoy meat and potatoes.

We had their Summer set menu. The dishes are very creative and tasty, and the decorations of each dish are very pretty. You can choose from wine pairing, or non-alcoholic drink pairing. They were able to accommodate special diet requirements. At the end of our meals, they gave us the menu we had for that day. The servers were very professional, and attentive.

Boragó is an interesting experience, but slightly overpriced for what is delivered…
I enjoy Michelin Starred restaurants… I don’t mind paying for fine dining, however the price here feels high compared to the quality, presentation & portions—especially when you consider that even a one-Michelin-star restaurant in Dubai can be less expensive. Despite a 13-course menu, I actually left feeling slightly hungry, which is quite unusual at this level.
That said, discovering Chilean products was enjoyable and the service during the meal was professional, though the welcome at the entrance felt a bit cold. The menu is very leaf- and plant-forward, so be prepared for that style.
Worth trying once for the concept, but not a place I would return to.

The different dishes they had for the spring collection were spectacular with great presentation and arrangements. Everyone at the restaurant was very friendly and accommodating. The different flavors along with the wine pairings made it a memorable dining experience – the sea bass, mussels and the lamb were my top three favorite dishes. The card they give you at the end describing each of the dishes and the picture with the amazing chefs were definitely the cherry on top. Worth the price and experience

We had seen reviews of Boragó on TripAdvisor and “best places to eat” in Santiago.
We were not disappointed. Each course was varied, interesting and surprising, as well as very tasty. Each course was served by a team member who explained it to us.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and it was the dining highlight of our visit to Chile.
A great experience. Thanks to all the team who made it possible.

An unforgettable culinary experience. Every dish was thoughtful, creative, and beautifully presented, with incredible attention to detail and flavors. The tasting menu tells a story of Chilean nature and ingredients in a truly unique way. Exceptional service and atmosphere — Boragó is absolutely worth the experience and lives up to its reputation as one of the best restaurants in the world.

Oh man! Where to even start! If you have food restrictions of ANY kind (we were pescararians) – be forewarned – you will be fed a bunch of mushrooms and carrots with raw weeds (I wish I were joking but I am not. The main course for pescararians was one grilled carrot with 5 kinds of raw weeds ) It was so unbelievable for a “Top 50 restaurant”, it was actually funny. I have been to 30+ Michelin and “top 100 restaurants”. And though none of these actually translate to “best tasting food in the region” in my opinion, they usually DO translate to a certain quality of experience. Until now that is. I think my trust in any of the top X lists is forever broken after an evening of exclusively eating mushrooms with raw weeds . Beautiful looking dishes but don’t be fooled. Tasted like….. Flowers and weeds The single fish dish that was actually served tasted terrible. The grilled fish had absolutely no salt or flavor. The sauce which was smeared onto the plate was beautiful looking and fairly tasty, but there was too little of it to make up for the tasteless fish preparation. If you don’t have any food restrictions, you will probably be ok (the moment the server said “Oh you are pescararians. So you don’t eat seafood”, we should have probably known we were in for rough times. Oh well – you win some and lose some). Outside of the complete lack of knowledge on food restrictions, the staff was very friendly and the wine pairing was pretty ok (wine was much more superior compared to the actual food and was fairly enjoyable). Attached is the picture of the “main” course that was the substitute for a lamb dish for reference
