La Perseverancia Distrital Marketplace

An old 2 story building, essentially open air, with multiple independent small kiosks. The food focuses mainly on typical Colombian cuisine; various soups, ajiaco, meat dishes. A couple of fresh vegetable kiosk and one live plants kiosk. It is typically crowded at lunch. Not all of the food kiosks are open during the weekdays but all are on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Parking is available and there is adequate seating.

I really enjoyed my lunch en el Mercado La Perseverancia. Truth to tell, it’s not always my favorite to be bombarded by people holding menus trying to get me to eat at their restaurant. However, after making a circle around the place and everyone was doing it, I ended up with the first one that I saw. He said the magic words: sopa de mariscos en leche de coco con queso…or seafood soup in coconut milk with cheese. It was served with coconut rice, plantain, and avocado, y agua con gas. And it was absolutely delicious! I don’t remember the name, but it was right next to the stall with the famous celebrity Master chef. The live music was also very nice.

Part of a stop in our Food Tour. It's interesting to see a local food market with various fast foods being served. Lots of locals with families. The dish we had was delicious (not oily or salty) and filling. Go there if you wish to see a piece of authentic Bogota food scene.

A vibrant, crowed, magnetic gastronomic mecca in the heart of Bogotá that provides visitors a means to taste traditional Colombian foods like beef broth, bean and vegetable soups, amazing fried fish and ceviche—as prepared by chefs from every corner of the country. You can also buy local produce at the stalls adjacent and support many small vendors. I definitely recommend visiting!

To taste the real authentic Colombia cuisine. You have to stop at the Perseverancia Market. They have different dishes from multiple Colombian regions. My favorite Pacific coast. Feel free to try and enjoy.

This was by far my favorite meal in bogota and maybe even Colombia…it’s a local spot with lots of stands of food - I got a shrimp and salmon curry / stew from the back and it came with an avocado / fish soup, rice, avocado, and patacones and was unbelievable and sooo much food! Everything in the market looked great so you can’t go wrong.

We’ve decided to come to this place after watching the Netflix series! What can I say. Food is amazing, so much flavours, prices are reasonable and service is also good. Highly recommended it. Also, try to avoid weekends as you might be to queue for a bit long. Overall this is a really good place if you’re looking for quality-quantity food and also Ema very friendly environment.

I love ajiaco, so I was really looking forward to trying ‘the best in Bogotá’ at Tolú. The ajiaco was very good but not ‘the best’ I’ve had in Bogotá, I also enjoyed their mote de queso. The service was great, but I didn’t enjoy other restaurant staff hounding my wife and me to sit at their places. Overall, it was a good experience—just come prepared knowing which restaurant you’re going to, or you’ll have many trying to pull you into theirs.
