Karai by Mitsuharu Santiago

Karai by Mitsuharu sits on the fourth floor of the W Santiago on Isidora Goyenechea. The restaurant is a twenty-five-minute walk from Parque Bicentenario and remains a short distance from the Costanera Center. It holds a ranking as no. 97 on the 2024 Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants list.

The kitchen focuses on Japanese and South American fusion, a combination that feels far more intentional here than at the generic hotel eateries nearby. While the room runs smart, it avoids the stiff, formal pacing often expected of venues in the Las Condes financial hub. You choose this place for the precision of the fusion menu, which manages to hold its own against the city’s more established traditional outposts. It provides a grounded, flavour-focused alternative for those tired of the performative dining culture that dominates this part of town.
