A restaurant known for grilled meat in the Providencia neighborhood of Santiago.

Location:
Providencia

Address:
Av. Providencia 1184

Restaurant El Parron is located in the heart of the neighborhood, Providencia. In Spanish, Parron means great great wine and the main dinning hall is covered with it. And it has room for nine hundred people. Now I am going to try the Chilean bina. That is great, it is very smooth and I can feel the ginger in it.

The Kitchen at El Parron has windows, so you can see your food while it is being cooked. El Parron has specialized in grill meat called, Pereira since nineteen thirty six. The Pereira has pork, steak, sausage, inas and potatoes, when you try the pereira, you must be careful. It is served in it is own little barbecue, which is hot.

Here we are with Miguel, he is going to join me for a typical Chilean dinner. "Tonight I am eating a traditional Chilean dish "pure picante" with ribs. It is delicious, especially with red wine." "Is it spicy?" "Only moderately but very good."

Now, I am going to try some steak. Which is called Pla Tierra in Spanish, the steak is in mushroom sauce and it is accompanied with a side dish of rice. This meat is so tender, you can cut it with a fork, chumchuli, a type of sausage. And thenyas. It is not very tender, it is a big top but the special thing about it is that, it is very tasty. You can taste the real beef.

"Yes, a reservation is recommended."I am Helia Goodman showing you Santiago.
