Humo Negro

The 33 Best Restaurants in Bogotá, Colombia | Eater

"After working in Europe and as sous chef at El Chato in Bogotá, chef Jaime Torregrosa flies solo at Humo Negro. At his moodily designed restaurant (as the name suggests), Torregrosa combines endemic Colombian ingredients with techniques learned while traveling, especially to Japan. Dishes are designed for sharing, such as the mini taiyaki — potato croquettes with seaweed, mambe (toasted coca leaves) buttermilk, and Amazonian chile. Or try the grilled leeks with chontaduro (peach palm), amaranth, and cashew, and pirarucu belly filet with camu camu and tucupi. Don’t leave without ordering one of the cleverly crafted savory cocktails." - Liliana López Sorzano
