Historia

Ida came from Río Bueno to Valparaíso at the age of eighteen in search of better opportunities. She worked as a waitress in classic restaurants in Valparaíso such as Restaurant Menzel and Neptuno. It was through observation and reading that she learned to cook. In 1962, she decided to found her own business located just behind the O'Higgins Stadium: Los Deportistas.

The business started as a small eatery, selling empanadas, choripanes, chicha, and wine by the pitcher. Over time, thanks to our clients and the constant support of her son Renato, the tavern transformed into the Restaurant we know today.

Ida's long culinary career led the Valparaíso Municipality to confer upon her the title of Illustrious Citizen of Valparaíso due to her trajectory and contributions to the city. She is the first person to receive this title in Valparaíso for contributions to the gastronomic field.

To this day, we work as a family. Anita, our head chef, has been with us for over 25 years. Renato, on the other hand, manages the business, accompanied by his daughter Renata, who, inspired by her grandmother, decided to professionalize herself in the kitchen and becomes the third generation in charge of the restaurant.
