"La Fogata is part restaurant, part portal to Colombia. You might step in from a street in Elephant and Castle, but suddenly you’re visiting the Rosario Islands’ otherworldly beaches. Yes, those are just the tourist board-style images plastered over the narrow, small restaurant. But it’s convincingly immersive when paired with shouts of Spanish coming from the kitchen, the sound of regulars chatting away over big plates of bandeja paisa, and the hiss of plantain being fried. Big portions of meat are served with slabs of cornbread, jammy plantain, and disks of arepa. The Colombian food is hearty stuff, but the biggest appeal is the laid-back, family feel, and transportive atmosphere." - jake missing, sinead cranna
