The 26 Best Restaurants in Medellín, Colombia | Eater
"After graduating from culinary school in San Francisco in 2008, Carmen Ángel and Rob Pevitts arrived in Medellín to open Carmen, breaking new ground in the restaurant scene as they began to explore Colombian cuisine in a refined way. Dishes at this modern bistro reflect the work of small producers and the flavors of a biodiverse country, like the hit crab and shrimp empanadas with ají de guanábana (soursop chile) and vanilla aioli, or the oven-roasted Colombian pork ribs with mongo mongo barbecue sauce (prepared with green papaya, mango, mamey, pineapple, and sweet plantain) and Caribbean cassava cake. The cocktail program also celebrates the country’s flavors through ancestral distillates, herbs, and fruits." - Liliana López Sorzano
