The Experience
From Michelin Guide
The name Z'SOM (meaning together) conjures up a sense of community and culinary delight in a sociable and relaxed atmosphere. Your friendly hosts Judith Lergetporer and Diego Briones really put their heart and soul into this place. While she presides over the restaurant floor, welcoming guests with warmth and charm, he is at work in the open kitchen, skilfully incorporating his Chilean roots and international experience into original, flavourful and sophisticated dishes. Think premium-quality wild prawns with Amarillo chilli, succulent pigeon à la royale or delicious lavender ice cream infused with coconut. The lady of the house talks diners through the wine pairings that go with the set menu with real enthusiasm.
