Review: I did not get a chance to eat there because I tried to follow the directions off of the map button, those directions are incorrect. If you want to see where El Huerto is find the metro stop Pedro de Valdivia and zoom in on it, look a few streets to the northeast and you will see the actual street where the restaurant is located. Orrego Luco.

Review: I think that this is the best that one is going to do for vegi fare in Santiago. It is fresh, well portioned and well seasoned. The staff is friendly. Inside it feels a little bit like a yoga studio (you know what I mean). Its a little expensive but there is a free bread appitizer with a variety of sauces to begin the meal. We got the mexican burrito platter which satisfying and the medditeranean platter which I think was the better of the two. THe ginger tofu appitzer was good but small. ALthough pricey it is worth it if you are willing to splurge. Make sure to get a bottle of the wine with chili peppers on the label.
 
Pros: good food * *
Cons: pricy * *

Review: I went here three times during my stay in Santiago. Most staff speak English, there is also an English menu available. Fully vegetarian, many vegan options. Soups were always excellent, particularly when accompanied by the house homemade bread and spicy dip. One time I had the chef's surprise three-course meal, and each item in it was great. Another, the Mexican plate - delivered exactly as expected and very filling. Another time, the fusion salad, easily the best salad I had in my travels in South America. Hey, this was easily the best vegetarian restaurant in my travels in South America. Always busy, which speaks volumes, and open until 11pm. Relatively expensive by local standards, but practically-free by Western standards :)
 
Pros: Quality food * Great atmosphere * Location
Cons: Relatively expensive * Staff sometimes stand-off-ish *

Review: I had efficient service, except when I wanted to pay. I ate outside and it was pleasant The menu is varied (a lot of pretty salads, not a lot of protein). I ordered the Indian dish and it was smaller than expected for the price, but it was delicious and I was full. The mint lemonade is delicious. Even though the place was busy, my food came in record time for south american restaurants. It was expensive (about $10 US for an entree) but worth it to have a break from white rice and potatoes. Would return again.
 
Pros: friendly, efficient service * good food * bean sprouts!
Cons: expensive * small portions *

Review: Have been there for lunch December 2007. Huerta is the smaller annex to Huerto. Yeah, there was a long menu list, but a lot was not available, so we had to fiddle around to make a choice. Staff was not very helpful.
I think the good reviews are a bit exagerated, but, yes, it is vegetarian and not bad.

Review: This is one of the best vege restuarants I´ve found so far in South America. The service was great and most of the staff spoke English, which was a bonus. The soups and set plates were delicious and the dessert was divine - I´d recommend the chocolate brownie.
A great experience all round!

 
Pros: Tasty food * NIce atmosphere * Friendly staff
Cons: Food not very hot * A little bit pricey *
