Very near the hostel is located the Social Home for ex Sportsmen (Hogar Social del Círculo de Ex Deportistas Juan Ramsey). This “picada” has meals for $1.500 chilean pesos (3US$) that offers a diffrent chilean menu every day from monday to saturday. The bread with pebre, first entry and a main course for lunch. In the night some specialities like: chorillanas, pollo al cognac, sandwiches for a very convenient price and of course….very typical.

Also this place exhibits the chilean and world record of horse jump…..awesome!!

Open: Monday to Saturday until 23hrs in the night (great to go for a cheap chilean lunch)

Address: Fray Camilo 340, corner with Marin (yellow house)

“La Piojera” is one of the most famous & popular bars in Santiago. Right next to Mercado Central and named after a President of Chile Arturo Alessandri Palma, who said “who brought me to this piojera”.
