River Cafe Santiago De La Ribera

A good place for a baguette or sandwich but haven't tried anything else from there. Staff were nice enough one visit to give us a free item, not too sure what it was but it was a pastry of some sort that I personally don't like but it was free so I can't complain. Can sometimes have a little confusion ordering if you don't speak Spanish depending on who is serving you. Of the 2 people that served us while I was there, one of them didn't have too much trouble understanding English but the other person it took around 3 or 4 minutes to get the order sorted.

Please note these premises are now temporarily closed! Roberto and his family have returned to Sweden.

This venue gives excellent value for money especially if you choose 'Menu,Del Dia . THe food is mainly Spanish but the menu as English translation. The staff are very polite and try very hard to understand English. The food is first class and we returned in several occassions. The place as quite recently been refurbished and is modern decor. You have the choice of eating outside beneath parasols or inside which is fully air condtioned. If you are in Santiago please give it a visit.
