Rubaiyat

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Family Legacy at the Table

Since 1957, the Iglesias family has shaped what fine dining means across Latin America and beyond. Under their leadership for three generations, the Rubaiyat Group has built a reputation grounded in a single conviction: that quality must be traceable all the way back to the source. The group pioneered the farm-to-table concept long before it became a watchword, raising its own cattle, pigs and poultry to supply its restaurants directly. That same rigor extends to every ingredient that arrives from land and sea at the Santiago address on Av. Nueva Costanera.

The Santiago House

Rubaiyat Chile sits in Vitacura, one of Santiago's most composed residential and dining quarters. Like every house in the group, it pairs striking architecture with rustic yet sophisticated furnishings — spaces that feel considered without feeling stiff. The room is designed to make guests want to linger, return and bring someone worth impressing.

The wine cellar is a defining feature. Labels from around the world are carefully selected for wine lovers, and that commitment has earned the Santiago restaurant a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence — recognition that the list is genuinely worth exploring, not merely decorative.

What to Expect at the Table

Rubaiyat's identity is built around the grill. Noble cuts, cooked with the precision that comes from decades of sourcing and technique, are the backbone of the menu. The Chilean and Mediterranean influences that run through the kitchen give the steakhouse format a broader range: seafood, seasonal produce and dishes that reflect the group's attentiveness to ingredients from both land and coast.

Attentive, professional service is not an aspiration here — it is described by the group as a commitment to excellence in every detail, and it shows in the structure of the experience, from the welcoming couvert to a sommelier-guided wine pairing that can accompany each stage of the meal.

Beyond the Everyday Meal

The Santiago house hosts private parties and events, with dedicated space for groups seeking a more exclusive setting. The broader Rubaiyat programme — which across the group's houses includes curated wine tastings, seasonal menus and live music evenings — reflects an understanding that a great meal can also be a complete occasion. For those who appreciate fine dining with real depth behind it, Rubaiyat Chile makes a strong case.
