Cafe Melba
What the experts agree on
Santiago's go-to brunch spot where all-day breakfast and quality coffee draw consistent crowds. Expect a 15-minute wait after 1:30pm, but the eggs Benedict and French toast justify it—especially for expats craving proper morning fare.
“Brunch...complete with eggs Benedict, French toast and fine coffee, is a Sunday ritual for many expats. ”

"Breakfast is served all day at this storefront restaurant—something that's almost unheard of in Chile."
"This bustling yet unassuming cafe is simply the best spot in El Bosque for lunch, the reason why you'll have to wait 15 minutes or so for a table if you arrive after 1:30pm." Full review
"The most popular restaurant with expatriates, principally because it is one of the few eateries that serves a full and delicious breakfast."
