Customers consistently describe their experience as 'enchanting' and 'fantastic', praising the unique and flavorful dishes, particularly the scallop ceviche, empanadas, and the freshly baked bread. Service is frequently highlighted as 'excellent' and 'attentive'. Many are 'wowed' by the restaurant's ability to source rare Chilean produce and appreciate the approachable nature of the head chef. The grand chocolate trolley at the end of the meal is a memorable highlight. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, one review noted the lunch set as 'pretty average' compared to high expectations.
Entry to Araya requires guests to ring a doorbell, adding to its exclusive feel. The interior features a beautiful pink quartz counter. Guests are treated to a view-master toy showcasing images of Chile at the end of their meal. The freshly made bread rolls, a customer favorite, are baked by the chef's wife. The restaurant also offers a juice pairing option.
Both lunch and dinner are offered. Dinner is likely ideal for experiencing the full fine dining ambiance and tasting menu. Lunch might be a more casual option, though one review suggested the lunch menu might not fully capture the restaurant's culinary prowess.
