A bistro is about intimacy. It’s a chef-driven space where the food is personal and relaxed. A place that feels alive, not hidden behind heavy sauces or unnecessary tricks. It means cook locally, work with the seasons, and let the produce speak for themselves
LOBO is a modern dining ecosystem: a casual spot for date nights, an unpretentious dining experience, a hidden gem for those who wander. Short, frequently changing menu. Small plates, minimal waste, honest flavors. Because the magic happens in the joy of cooking, from an impossibly small kitchen, for people we care abou
For me, a bistro is a magic word. It means a place where everyone feels welcome, and where good food is made and enjoyed.
I’ve been cooking all my life, in Chile and Finland, learning from mountains, sea, and the boreal forest. I cook with what the land gives me – mushrooms, lake fish, herbs, roots. It’s honest food, approachable.
LOBO is my interpretation of dual heritage, a blend of my two homes – Latin and Nordic. You’ll eat things you recognize, but in a way you’ve never had them before.
It’s a window into my memories.
Memories of cooking under the laurel tree with friends and family, fire crackling, the TV playing Colo Colo in the background while nobody really watches. It’s about comfort and discovery, about sharing a table.

I’ve dedicated my life to cooking. My journey took me through kitchens like Farang, Pastor, and Pure Bistro, where I explored flavors from around the world, but my heart always stayed with the honest tastes of home. Working with vegan cuisine at Magu pushed me to think differently about textures, flavors, and combinations, sharpening my creativity and teaching me to make every ingredient shine, even without meat or dairy. That approach now shapes my style.
My career, my travels, my experiments: all woven into flavors that tell a story you can taste, see, and feel. A play with colors and layers, designed to make you experience the dish before the first bite.

Learn, create and evolve:
Our mantra is a perpetual desire to grow.
Every dish, season, and moment is designed to surprise and inspire
A journey to discover locality:
Being local transcends the use of nearby ingredients—it is a connection to the world around us, an exploration of local traditions, techniques, and ingredients.
Dining as a dialogue:
Each tasting menu tells its own story—a narrative of the land they come from. The story unfolds course by course, with every dish. In this way, our guests experience not just food, but a living story on their plates.
Nature is the best Chef:
For us, food is a narrative of nature’s interplay with humanity. It should reflect the purity and intensity of its origins.
Sustainability:
To improve the health of our soils, to sequester carbon, to protect our streams, lakes and forests.
The menu is a carefully thought-out five-course journey, with optional add-ons, customizable to your liking. It’s rooted in seasonality and precision, but never overcomplicated. Every dish is a dialogue between two worlds: the fiery spirit of chilies, finds surprising harmony with Nordic produce. It is about pure flavors, and inventive twists.
LOBO is a place that lives and breathes atmosphere.
You’ll feel that we love what we do, that cooking for you, talking to you, and sharing this moment is a pleasure for us.
We live up to the true spirit of a bistro – effortless, and crafted just for you.
