Bogotá Restaurant Reviews

Bogotá's phone book lists more than 1,000 restaurants, and the best offer first-class service and outstanding Colombian cuisine. The most traditional recipes aim to fill the belly and ward off the cold. Soups, such as ajiaco and puchero (with chicken, pork, beef, potato, yucca, cabbage, corn, and plantain and accompanied by rice and avocado) are common on local menus. Bogotanos like to start the day off with santafereño, a steaming cup of chocolate accompanied by a slab of cheese—you melt the cheese in the chocolate. Lunch is generally served between noon and 2. Restaurants open for dinner around 7, and the more upscale ones stay open until after midnight

“This is a Colombian restaurant offering a good regional menu. It has four outlets situated in different parts of the city: Carrera 11 con Calle 89, Avenida Jimenez, Avenida Pepe Sierra and Centro Internacional. The restaurant was founded 35 years ago and since then has been serving excelent fare, especially Ajiaco with chicken, which is a Bogotano speciality.”

This restaurant has been open since 1984, in Chia, an area on the outskirts of Bogota. Its rural location lends to its authentic flair. Decorated with Colombian ornaments and handicrafts, knick knacks, from old photos to newspaper clippings, religious figurines, mattresses, bells and candles adorn the walls and tables. The waitstaff tends to be made up of students, which obviously helps in giving the restaurant its relaxed, easygoing feel. Andres specializes in grilled meats: T-bone steak, rump steak, steak tartar and Argentinian beef, all served with tortillas and filled tomatoes. The salad bar offers a wonderful range of fresh fruits and vegetables.


Armadillo
Carrera 5 No. 71A-05, Bogota, Colombia
Tel: +57 1 3459992

The name of this restaurant has been inspired from the book 'Gatos, patos, armadillos y otros seres humanos' (Cats, ducks, armadillos and other humans) by the Colombian author German Arciniegas. In this book, Arciniegas compares the armadillo to a fortress. The decor and menu of this restaurant reflect a Californian ambience.

As you would expect from a capital city you can sink your teeth into just about any type of cuisine from Peruvian to Mediterranean to Eastern.

At Tinaja y Tizon (Calle 119 No 6-06) they specialise in grilled meats and typical Colombian dishes of ajiaco (hearty corn and potato based chicken soup) and from 20:00 you can also listen to live music.

For a romantic dinner in a restaurant that doubles as an art gallery and café head to Galeria Arte Klan-Destino (Cra 17 No 39A-00) and gorge on pasta and seafood.

Should you miss home, the décor in Circa Cocina Fusion is decidedly British while the cooking is far from it. Here they mix Mediterranean and Oriental cuisines and you can enjoy innovative cocktails and cool lounge music. Calle 69A 5-09.

It is worth noting you can eat very cheaply in Bogota, just look outside for the offers of the day. These will normally be three course meals consisting of a soup, main course and pudding with a juice included and will certainly not leave you out of pocket as the price for such promotions ranges from COP4,000 to roughly 8,000
