La Colombianidad auf Deutsch: Macondo Café in Berlin 💛💙♥️🇩🇪
As a self-proclaimed ambassador of La Colombianidad, I'm constantly on a quest to savor the vibrant flavors that define Colombian cuisine. My recent stumble upon Macondo Café was a delightful reminder of why I cherish these culinary adventures.
There's a unique magic that happens when paisanos bring a piece of their homeland abroad – a heartfelt dedication that infuses every dish with soul.
Macondo itself is a charming reflection of this spirit. The café seamlessly blends the whimsical bohemian vibes of Berlin with the warmth of a Colombian living room. Imagine cozy couches, intimate tables, and the infectious rhythm of cumbia drifting through the air – it's the perfect setting for a taste of home.
We indulged in the Colombiano, a hearty platter featuring three crispy empanadas, bursting with savory shredded beef, which were the highlight. Alongside, we enjoyed arepitas, a comforting calentado (though perhaps with a unique Berlin twist!), and the pièce de résistance: a perfectly fried egg perched atop it all, served with a side of pico de gallo. Every bite was a testament to the love and care that went into its creation❣️
While sipping on a warming gluhwein (a nod to the 🇩🇪 winter), I couldn't help but appreciate seeing aguardiente on the menu, something that could go very well alongside this Colombian feast.
Macondo, you've successfully managed to encapsulate the flavours of La Colombianidad one bite at a time.
