Cuarto Frío
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.
Brasas Llaneras
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.
Ko Asian Kitchen
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.
Mesa Franca
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.
Club Colombia
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.
Leon Mozzarella Bar
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.
Il Tinello
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.
Street Bao (Calle 90)
A relatively new offering in Bogota, this place is brought by the Toshiro franchise as a budget but full of quality and flavor product of Asian street food that is not comparable with the traditional concept of fast food. Delicious crispy fish' chicharron, pork belly buns and other options alike. Do not forget to try the matcha ice cream.
Taberna Vietnamita Tét
A really good selection of Vietnamese flagship food adapted to the local taste in terms of spiciness and flavors. The place is small and comfy, good service and fair prices.
El Chato
Probably one of the best restaurants in town, this is a really interesting example of oven slowly cooked delicacies with a local taste. Worth trying the grilled chicken, crispy blood sausage and lamb with some wines of the cellar.
