Baco Vino y Bistró

Baco Vino y Bistró is a bistro and wine bar on Nueva de Lyon in the Providencia district of Santiago, near the Nueva Providencia business and dining area. The restaurant has an international-leaning menu rather than a strictly Chilean one, built around grilled meats, bistro plates and seasonal desserts, and it is known for a large list of Chilean wines available by the glass. The wine focus gives it a clear identity among Providencia's restaurants, and diners often order a flight or a few glasses to match different courses. Signature plates include wine-pairing dishes designed around the list, grilled meats and seasonal desserts, so the menu suits both a light supper and a fuller dinner. The dining room is polished and moderately formal, with an after-work crowd of professionals from nearby offices, and the atmosphere is conversational, with moderate noise and smart casual dress. Prices sit in the upper mid-range, typical of Nueva Providencia, and a meal with several glasses of wine is a mid-to-high spend. Hours are reported as daily, but visitors should confirm times by phone at +56 2 2231 4444. Reservations are recommended on Fridays and Saturdays, when the room fills, and weekday evenings are generally easier. The restaurant is a short walk from Providencia's metro stations and the Costanera Center area, so it works as a dependable dinner stop for visitors staying in the east of the city. It suits travellers who want a relaxed wine-led dinner with international bistro cooking instead of a purely traditional Chilean meal.
