Ocean Pacific's

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Santiago's Most Distinctive Seafood Table

Ocean Pacific's has been one of Santiago's defining seafood destinations for more than 36 years. Self-described as a "gastronomic and heritage destination," the restaurant has built its reputation on Chilean and seafood cuisine that is, in the kitchen's own words, "delicious, abundant, and for the whole crew" — generous in spirit and grounded in the Pacific's finest catch.

A Restaurant That Is Also a Museum

The setting alone sets Ocean Pacific's apart. The interior is designed to transport guests aboard a ship — moving through spaces that evoke a captain's cabin, a submarine, and the belly of an enormous sperm whale. It is an immersive, theatrical environment, but one that never upstages the food. The experience is as much visual as it is gastronomic, which is precisely why the restaurant bills itself as a "museo" — a museum you can dine inside.

The flagship location, Buque Insignia, sits in Santiago Centro across a cluster of addresses on Ricardo Cumming and Huérfanos, with parking on Agustinas. A second restaurant, Esmeralda, operates in the upscale Vitacura neighborhood on Av. Padre Hurtado Norte.

Recognition and a Loyal Following

The 2025 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence reflects what regulars have known for decades: Ocean Pacific's takes its wine program as seriously as its Chilean seafood. That kind of recognition places it in select company among Santiago's dining establishments and underscores the restaurant's commitment to a complete table experience — food, wine, and atmosphere working together.

With a 4.5 average on TripAdvisor and more than 49,000 Instagram followers, the loyalty of its community speaks clearly. Whether for a weekday lunch, a private party, or a leisurely dinner, Ocean Pacific's remains a landmark worth the visit.
