Juan y Medio - Providencia•Santiago de Chile

Modern Latin•$$$

This traditional restaurant opened its doors in 1947, when the current Route 5 Sur had just been paved. The origin of its peculiar name is due to the idea of its founder, Mrs. Ana Miranda Carreño, to baptize the restaurant, with the nickname that her husband had, Mr. Juan Barrera Macías. Don Juan y Medio earned this nickname for his great height and weight (1.94 meters and 135 kilos). This robust character had a great appetite, which was reflected in the abundance of the dishes that his wife used to serve him, which are the same that are still served today in this Restaurant, known for its excellent typical Chilean food both in our country. as abroad.
