First dinner in Medellin and it didn’t disappoint! Excellent service and very tasty unique cocktails. The server gave great advice as all four of the starters he suggested were excellent and the prawns with toasted quinoa was all of our favorite and quite uniquely prepared. The trout filet was expertly prepared and very delicate and tasty. The short rib is the most popular entree which the server said they are famous for and was very tender and plated very well. The vibe of the restaurant was young attractive people and it had very lively music throughout.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. Starting with a great decor which makes it feel like a massive fancy treehouse in the jungle. The service is incredible, our food came surprisingly quick. And the food itself... we got the tuna tartate which was one of the best tuna tartares I've ever had (crispy garlic with it is genius) and for mains we had the chicken, which really showcases how a simple fried chicken when seasoned and cooked well can be a thing of beauty, and the short rib which had a combination of fall off the bone tender yet with a crispy exterior along with a sauce that was extremely extremely delicious. Very impressed with everything about this place and I highly recommend it.

This is easily in the top three restaurants of Medellin. I love the new space which they recently moved to mainly because it has more seating and it’s easier to get in which used to be at least a week or two wait. This is the Union Square Café of medellin. Perfect execution of classic dishes, incredible service and not greedy expensive like so many places have become. Danny Meyer would be proud any certainly would come here to eat if he came to Colombia. The signature dish is the short ribs, but everything is quite amazing especially the chicken.

Excellent restaurant, 5 star reviews don’t lie. The place gives a warm and receiving feeling and the food was amazing. I tried the chicken and despite it is literally fried chicken, it was very delicious.

From the moment we walked in, the service at this restaurant was simply phenomenal. Every member of the staff went above and beyond, anticipating our needs and offering recommendations with genuine warmth and expertise. It's rare to encounter such attentive and personalized service, and it truly elevated our entire dining experience. Beyond the incredible service, the food itself was absolutely outstanding. Each dish was a masterpiece, showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients and a clear passion for culinary excellence. Without a doubt, this is one of the best restaurants in Medellín, offering a perfect blend of an inviting atmosphere, delectable cuisine, and unparalleled hospitality. We can't wait to return!

I had an incredible dinner at Ocio in Medellín last night, and it easily ranks as one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere great. —highly recommend!

Everything we ordered was delicious. Portions appeared smaller, but were perfect! We ordered ceviche with octopus, chicharrón salad, catch of the day, and fried chicken! Service was great! Ambiance is fun and lively (loudish music). Servers were knowledgeable about gluten free dishes and menus were clearly marked. Highly recommend!

The service was excellent, and I liked the simplicity of the restaurant. I was told that the food here was amazing. It didn't disappoint. We tried different dishes, and all came out great. We tried the ribs, sashimi, and Tenderloin and it was all great taste and presentation. I didn't like that it was complicated to find parking, but not a deal breaker for me. There is a lot of construction around the area, so plan accordingly. There are many other things to do around the area.
