Zanzíbar was an acclaimed rooftop restaurant nestled by the Mapocho River within Santiago's BordeRío gastronomic center, offering discerning travelers an exotic culinary journey. Renowned for its captivating ambiance, the venue boasted Moroccan-inspired furnishings and a magical rooftop terrace providing stunning views of Manquehue hill.
The restaurant's menu was a vibrant tapestry of global flavors, featuring exotic dishes from the East and Africa, alongside Mediterranean and Peruvian influences, inviting guests to explore the "route of spices." Zanzibar was particularly celebrated for its outdoor seating and lively atmosphere, often complemented by live music and entertainment, creating a truly special dining experience.
Notably, Zanzíbar was twice honored with the prestigious World Culinary Award for having the "Best Rooftop of Latin America," solidifying its reputation as a premier destination in the region. However, after 26 years of operation, Restaurante Zanzíbar permanently closed its doors on January 31, 2026.
