A really good bakery in El Retiro neighborhood, is a mandatory place to buy bread to bring home for dinner or next day breakfast. Nice ambiance and a place to get together with friends in the area in the afternoon.

A delicious place to try a typical roast beef or pork belly sandwich at a reasonable price and a nice ambiance. Location is right for neighbors, be prepared to get by walking as no parking space is easily available.

You can make your own pizza at a cheap price and enjoy it in a very casual young ambiance. Pasta and salads also available. May not be the best pizza in town, as it depends on you how to assemble. Great for youngsters.

When I entered to this place I had the feeling that this restaurant was inspired by "Sala de Despiese" in Madrid in terms of ambiance and format, a fact which is not a pro or con itself, but once I tried the food I could see that this is a really different experience. This is not a Spanish restaurant but an international food one that takes advantage of local products such as Colombia artichoke, palm hearts (palmitos), shrimps and fish. The food is tasty, original and with a good presentation. Desserts are really outstanding, so do not forget it when ordering the main course. I believe this restaurant is now a must in Bogotá, although some prices could be a little higher, especially the ribeye (COP 138.000¡) for Bogota's standards.

I visited the branch located in Chapinero and was surprised to find this sort of restaurant in the north of the city, as this kind is usual in more popular neighborhoods. The taste and flavor of the beef is amazing and the best representation in Bogota of the Colombian eastern planes (llanos orientales) food. Totally worth visiting to try typical Colombian food in a relaxed ambiance.

Among the trend of Japanese Peruvian fusion restaurants, this one brought by the OSAKA franchise is a refreshing and budget version with more common dishes and informal ambiance. Good food at a cheaper price than OSAKA with the same originality and imagination cooking traditional dishes such as pad Thais, dumplings and buns. Delicious non alcoholic drinks worth trying.

It is not in the best location or in the top of mind of locals who prefer to visit the charming gastronomy neighborhoods, but the food is really good and a true representation of Colombian author's food. The ambiance is a little cold but the warmth of the service and the quality of food compensate it favorably.

For locals, this place is a disgrace, as it offers traditional food that is cooked on an everyday basis in our homes at prices that are really crazy. Of course, if you are a foreigner and want to pay to have a wide selection of Colombia food, it is a different story. I personally do not recommend this place as other options are probably more typical and colorful but some locals who want to impress their foreign visitors prefer it probably because of the site itself that is charmed and well located.

The empanadas of osobuco, a wide range of pizzettas, and the steak served on a salt stone are all delicious representations of the variety of this place. Not exactly Italian despite its name, nor Mediterranean, this place has simply good food to share and is undoubtedly one of the nicest terraces to share some drinks at the end of the day.

This is a traditional restaurant offering quality Italian food in a really nice and fancy environment. Food is really good compared to other Italian alternatives in Bogota, the service is outstanding, and the prices fair for the location and food quality. The pasta cooked melting in a Pecorino cheese is definitely worth trying as well as the risottos. Wine is without any doubt required.
