La Casa Vieja
La Casa Vieja is a restaurant in Vitacura, Chile, that has been serving traditional Chilean cuisine since 1982. The establishment is known for dishes such as pastel de choclo, cazuela de vacuno, smoked ribs, and caldillo de congrio, each prepared following the restaurant's own techniques.
The restaurant was founded in 1982 and has developed into a respected establishment over nearly four decades. A significant milestone occurred in 1998 when the locos dish earned a gold medal from Achiga as the best Chilean dish.
The name Casa Vieja means "old house," reflecting its role as a keeper of traditional Chilean cooking and recipes passed down through generations. Visitors experience this through dishes that represent the country's food identity, where each meal carries cultural meaning beyond simple nourishment.
Plan your visit when you have time to enjoy slow-cooked dishes like the plateada, which spends about three hours in the oven. It is wise to reserve ahead, particularly if you want to visit during busy periods.
The locos dish, a local delicacy, was awarded a gold medal in 1998 as the best Chilean dish and remains one of the restaurant's most ordered offerings. This recognition made the dish a symbol of the restaurant's culinary excellence.
