About
It's often hard to get a table during the lunch hour in this extremely popular restaurant. Dane's serves inexpensive, hearty food in good-size portions, plus mouthwatering desserts. The interior is simple and unassuming, and much of the food is standard Chilean fare, all of it good or very good. The fried empanadas, especially shellfish, deserve special mention. Dane's serves a daily set menu for $6 (£4) Monday through Saturday and $9 (£6) on Sunday, as well as a special dish, or plato del día, for $3.50 (£2.30). It's less busy before 1pm or after 3pm. You can also buy food to go from the front counter.
