Restaurants cuisine du monde Colombia

An excellent restaurant of contemporary Colombian cuisine, which brings up to date the gastronomic wealth of the different regions of Colombia, especially the Pacific and the Amazon. The idea is to show the biological, cultural and culinary diversity of the country, with quality ingredients, mostly organic, supplied by isolated rural communities, with recipes rediscovered or invented by the chef Eduardo Martínez, an agronomist by training. Mini-Evil? For a lesser evil to our Mother Earth.

One of the finest gastronomic experiences in the country. Rafael Buitrago's masterful cuisine pays sublime homage to Santander's traditions. Together with his team, the Chef works with local produce and sublimates it through technique. In the kitchen, a symphony, in the plate, poetry where risk-taking is great but hyper-mastered. Here, goat's cheese is confit and roasted, hazelnut butter is scented with sage and walnuts or with ant, and beet is smoked. For dessert, a moving tribute to the Chef's grandmother. It's worthy of a Michelin star.

A nice change from traditional local cuisine. It was set up by Chantal Guerin, a friendly Swiss-born chef who has lived in Popayán for some twenty years. The welcome is warm and the service excellent. Chantal makes her own soups, sauces and pastas, using only the freshest ingredients grown by Cauca farmers. On the menu, pasta, lasagne, pizzas, rare meats (at last!), and everything is good! There's even fondue if you fancy.

The restaurant is located in an old convent, with a patio dressed with plants and palm trees. A varied menu, a good cuisine: robalo with lemon, camarones Olano, and the star dish:the Temptation of Zeus, composed of lobster, squid with white wine and cognac but also shrimp and crab with a sauce of passion fruit, octopus with garlic and coconut rice! Didier, passionate about jazz, will feed your ears as well as your taste buds during concerts of a very high level. To crown it all, the son Simón, lyric singer, comes to perform on occasion.

In a very oceanic blue and white decor, this restaurant opened in 2001 is the paradise of ceviches, but also serves delicious fajitas, vegetarian salads and sandwiches. The staff were friendly and helpful.

In front of the old side door of the cathedral (the "false door") is a tiny restaurant that is said to be the oldest in Colombia. The family that runs the establishment since its origin (1816) has kept the authentic recipes of the ancestors. It is famous for its tamal, to be enjoyed with hot chocolate, or its almojábana of yellow corn and fresh cheese, to be accompanied by an agua de panela. For a sweet treat, try the Marquesa de Guanábana.The place is small and inconvenient, but it's the heart of the Santafereña tradition!

In a decor overloaded with heterogeneous objects, this very friendly bar-restaurant is the place to be at the end of the week for the inhabitants of Leticia. A classic of the Amazonian cuisine, with well presented dishes. The best " pirarucu a la plancha " of the region is served here. The intrepid will try the farofa de mojojoy ( yuca flour with a big white worm of 3 or 4 cm long, all fried), it is rich in proteins! Good cocktails too, with sometimes live Brazilian music. Friendly and professional service.

A small restaurant that works directly with local producers, peasants and indigenous people, who use traditional methods: honey and quinoa from Boyacá, fish from the Pacific, palm heart from Putumayo, artichokes from Tábio (Cundinamarca), sea salt from La Guajira... The decoration is like a market, colorful and warm, and the Colombian cuisine is generous, with fresh products. At the back of the room, a small store that sells organic products and wine. Another Abasto at Quinta Camacho (Chapinero).

The flavours of La Pampa Argentina in full Caribbean. The meat is of very high quality and well prepared (there are also fish and seafood on the menu). A tango atmosphere and a wide choice of Argentinian and Chilean wines.

Awarded with the Silver Toque of Colombia, it is unofficially the best restaurant of Popayan. The food is more expensive than elsewhere (while remaining very reasonable when you come with your euros), but also more refined and you can feel an effort in the service. The European opinions are however mixed, except for the delicious beef which is cooked as requested (rare in Colombia), and the ceviche style trout filet. The choice of wine is rather meager. The setting is rather kitsch, with its well-waxed parquet floor and its chandeliers and gilding on the walls.

A traditional restaurant opened more than a quarter of a century ago, very popular with the Carthaginian bourgeoisie. It is chic and authentic. You will dine to Cuban music in a setting that resembles the wooden houses of Louisiana. The prices of the dishes are, of course, high but almost everyone agrees that this is one of the best restaurants in town: the octopus carpaccio and the Indonesian langoustines sautéed with curry, coconut cream and tamarind are great culinary moments! Reservation recommended.

Beautiful colonial house, where you feel like you're dining at the bottom of the ocean. Exotic fusion of ingredients for one of the best seafood restaurants in town. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends when the Colombian jetset arrives. Juan has other establishments in the plaza that we can all recommend: Mesa Peruana, with Nikkei, Andean and Creole cuisine, and Pizzeria Gourmet with pizzas of course, not bad at all, although not cheap.

An excellent choice for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Traditional dishes from the Boyacá and very pleasant prices.

Market cuisine prepared by chef Alejandro Gutiérrez, a biologist by profession, who is very committed to the responsible use of resources and the work of small producers. The dishes are more or less elaborate, but the flavors are always refined, at reasonable prices. Attention, the menu is often rather limited compared to the restaurants of Colombia in general, but here one chooses only products of season. The setting is quite informal, you feel good. The original coffee is a delight, as are the teas and infusions.

Doña Elvira is almost a legend in Bogotá. Since 1934, it has been serving a delicious chicken stew(sancocho de gallina), as well as many other traditional Colombian dishes, especially of the Cundi-Boyacense gastronomy. Ancestral recipes handed down from generation to generation, to the delight of the regulars. Hearty, unpretentious and authentic dishes, served only for lunch, at very reasonable prices. Typical family atmosphere. Smiling service, fast and good advice (in Spanish).

Mike McMurdo, a Michelin-starred chef with his New York restaurant Anthos, first set up a Mexican restaurant before opening Ouzo in 2011, giving the city a great culinary showcase. The Scottish, Irish, Californian and Chinese blood that runs through Mike's veins transpires on the plate with a Mediterranean twist. Grilled octopus; fried calamari with mango; duck breast with grilled squash; beef filet with red wine and corozo sauce and papas criollas... Well installed in front of the park of Los Novios, in the shade of the trees, we are rather at ease!

Our preferred address. Well placed, with a balcony overlooking the sports field and the river a little further. There is a good value for money and good value for money.

In a warm setting, with an open patio, Wok is a popular address for eating Asian dishes made from regional products. A nice and long menu, where you can order a good Amazonian fruit juice while waiting to decide. This local chain is involved in several social and environmental projects, and has about 20 other locations in Bogotá, including next to the Museo Nacional, in Parque de la 93 and in Zona T. Good value for money for a change from traditional Colombian cuisine.

Good Italian cuisine in a welcoming setting. Pasta, pizza and hot fingers sandwiches.

Generous portions and typical dishes including paisa paisa, ajiaco and five different sancochos. Popular. Sometimes noisy.
