There's really nothing like strolling around the bohemian neighborhood of Bellas Artes (Lastarria) with an exotic ice cream cone from Emporio La Rosa. This place has both traditional flavors as well as some strange but interesting combinations, all of which are incredible. I've also heard the food is pretty decent, but I haven't tried it (yet).
Flavors that you need to taste (just say "puedo probar xxx" for a free sample):
- Chocolate Basil (Chocolate Albahaca)
- Rose (Rosa)
- Strawberry and Black Pepper (Frutilla y Pimienta)
- Strawberry (Frutilla)
- Vanilla
- Chirimoya (indigenous fruit - delicious)
Hours: Supposedly Emporio La Rosa is open M-Sat 9:30am - 9:30pm and on Sundays it closes at 2. Despite these "hours" I've gone on a Sunday around 4 and the place was open, so its worth stopping by if its not too out of the way.
Getting there: A 3 minutes walk from either metro Universidad Catolica or Bellas Artes and about a 5 minute walk from Plaza Italia/Baquedano. See map for all reference points.
Address: Merced 291

I think they cash in on Sundays pretty normal that they're open then.
