  1. Demo Magnolia

    Contemporary Chilean New American

    A fifteen-seat tasting menu restaurant inside the Magnolia Hotel in Bellas Artes, Demo Magnolia treats Santiago itself as the ingredient list, tracing the city from La Vega's produce markets to its deep Asian culinary roots. The chef came up through Boragó and Quintonil, and the cooking shows it. It holds a spot on Latin America's 50 Best list. Savoury ice creams and seaweed cheesecake tart close things out, which feels about right for a place named after democratisation.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. Most of it is the record: the scored places within reach, weighed by distance, so more good stuff nearby means a higher score. The rest is how life is in that country and what it's like right there: how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are, the air, and the weather. If it looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
