Had a little solo late lunch at Amarte, and good god. I’ve had some homemade Colombian cooking in my time, but this is something else. The flavours are both familiar and surprising all at the same time, like the comfort food you’ve never had.
I had the cheese bread with cocoa salted butter (that butter!!!), the prawn en machuado and the beef and pumpkin and they were all genuinely incredible. Had I not been solo, I’m not ashamed to say I would have devoured the entire menu.
It’s so clear that the team put so much love and care to detail into everything from the coffee negroni (Colombian beans, of course), to the carefully curated menu and from the fab service to the beautiful wooden doors that, on sunny days, open up and look on to the square.
Must dash, need to assemble a small posse to come back and do the aforementioned devouring the whole menu thing…
