Bandolero Restaurant, Santiago

A peek into this well-known hangout will reveal a mélange of music, food and bonhomie. Singer Ismael Duran, who has been on the music scene since 1970, uses his talent to bring about an awareness of social causes, such as poverty, working conditions and human rights. He's the chief source of entertainment at this charming, open-air restaurant. Barbecues, picnic-tables and delicious aromas of empanadas, paellas, sizzling meats and grilled fish add to the culinary experience. If you are more of an indoors person, slide into one of the seats at the comfortable bar inside. Loads of pictures on the walls, affable crowds and quick service make patrons feel at home. At night, Ismael and his troupe often perform on-stage to the delight of fans.
