Vitacura

About the restaurant

La historia de la cocina Chino-Peruana se remonta a mediados del siglo XIX, cuando los primeros trabajadores Cantonéses emigran al Peru y empieza una fusíon de su cocina milenaria y la peruana.

En Shi-Nuá o “Chinois” -como bien se escribiría en Francés- nos atrevémos a darle un nuevo matíz a los ya conocidos clásicos, con toques e ingredientes europeos y americanos así como también de otras regiones del lejano oriente.
¡Los invitamos a experimentar de una nueva experiencia sensorial llamada Shi-Nuá!

CARNAL PRIME STEAKHOUSE is the first restaurant in Santiago specialized in imported and certified American meats of the Angus Aberdeen breed and of USDA High Choice & Prime quality.

In addition to the exclusivity of our raw materials, to prepare our meats we use an infrared broiler that achieves high temperatures (1300 °F), which gives our cuts a particular texture and flavor that is not found in the traditional method of grill.

We also have a selected Raw Bar that offers exquisite products brought from various corners of the world, such as Octopus and Caribbean Lobster. The unique atmosphere and privileged location make CARNAL the ideal place to enjoy a family lunch, an intimate dinner or a business meeting.

About the restaurant

Steakhouse founded in 2000 by Juan Gabler. Since then, Cuerovaca has specialized in grilling the finest steaks, coming from our Patagonia, the volcanic South of Chile and the United States.
Our experience is based mainly on beef from Angus and Wagyu breeds (a breed of Japanese origin, considered the best meat in the world). Additionally, we also prepare Patagonian lamb, as well as seafood and fish from our southern seas.
Our mission is to create an authentic Chilean gastronomic culture, a meat experience based on the best Chilean breeders, along with award-winning wines from our country. All this in a urban-contemporary environment, accompanied by a service of excellence. We also have a private interior barbecue area, glazed green house type, surrounded by evergreens and trees.

Good restaurant, food is on the high end, service was excellent. Ambience still requires a little refinement though some areas like the table on the cellar was totally fine. The spaces are not intended for a cosy or quiet dinner.
