Google Maps releases global dining guide featuring Santiago

Google Maps has launched its first ‘Fan-Favorite Dining List’, a culinary guide identifying popular restaurants and emerging food trends across ten global cities, including Tokyo, London, New York, and Melbourne.

In Santiago, Chile, the platform’s analysis of reviews and search data revealed a significant rise in interest for matcha, with mentions increasing by 84% in local reviews. The guide highlights specific dining patterns rather than a singular ranking of the best restaurants. In Santiago, Golfo di Napoli Trattoria e Pizzeria was noted for receiving the highest number of direction requests, while Donde El Beto was recognized for its high ratings regarding portion size and value.
