The 33 Best Restaurants in Bogotá, Colombia - Eater

"When visiting the historic central neighborhood of La Candelaria, don’t leave without having lunch at Prudencia. The colonial, French-style home was renovated by star architect Simón Vélez, known for his flair with bamboo. Chef Mario Rosero — who was raised in Los Angeles and is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America — utilizes grills and ovens he designed himself to deliver dishes with powerful doses of umami. The seven-course tasting menu changes regularly, but it always features a vegetarian option, and everything from the bread to the butter is made from scratch with local ingredients. Expect dishes like turkey breast smothered with chocolate and roasted in the wood-fired oven or watermelon tarama garnished with house-made bacon (or dehydrated eggplant)." - Liliana López Sorzano

Prudencia was a really good experience for some fine dining with local flavours. They serve a fixed daily menu ensuring the most fresh dishes. The staff was really kind and knowledgeable. We got 7 dishes which were all very delicious. Some were inside and some outside with the cooks preparing it on the open fire in your sight. If you’re looking for a food experience in Bogota, this is a must visit.

We had the 7 course tasting menu at Prudencia to celebrate my husband’s master’s degree, and it was absolutely worth it. Every dish felt thoughtful, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The chef is incredibly talented, you can tell there’s real creativity and technique behind each plate. The whole experience felt special from start to finish. A place to remember for important moments, and one I’d return to without hesitation.

Food was uneven but mostly good. But the prices are really excessive for the number of courses and portion sizes. This would be pushing it in New York, let alone here. Early courses were stronger than mains, which were tasty but tiny. Also, the pours of wine and cocktails were also far too stingy. I’ve been fortunate to eat at restaurants with set tasting menus all over the world, and these were the least generous pours I’ve seen. Service was amazing. Ambience is nice and very laid back, but for the price would have imagined something a little different. Food: 3.5/5 Service: 5/5 Vibe: 4/5 Value: 1/5

We had a great time at Prudencia- the food was amazing and a real experience. It is a beautiful restaurant, with super nice staff. We felt welcomed right from the start and cannot wait to have our granola for breakfast tomorrow. Thank you for a wonderful ending to our 3-week trip in Colombia!

The most pretentious dining on mediocre food I’ve ever had. Saw this in the NYT 36 hours and decided to go. Walked past amazing colorful restaurants walking there with glorious savory smells. For $100 we were buying an “experience.” 7 small plates of which we could choose one. There was the eggplant mush without flavor that you could use as baby food. Every dish was tortured by wrong attention. My overcooked salmon was seasoned only with turmeric and the wood smoke. The artichoke hearts were Sun-dried to crisps on top and tasted of nothing. The “Walnut Cake” desert was a pile of walnuts soaked in water and lightly seasoned with nothing sweet. Guys, that’s not a cake. I could go on, but just don’t go.

A wonderful experience. We tried a few best 50 restaurants in Latin American in Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena, this is definitely among the best ! Food are wonderful- thoughtful selections of seasonal fruits/veggie and cook to perfection. With texture, taste, look and smell well balanced. Each of the ingredients play an important role without shadowing others and go along well. Don’t hesitate to opt for the pairing as the specially created nonalcoholic cocktail go perfectly with the dishes and definitely enhance the whole experience. Staff are attentive, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, they know every single dishes and cocktails and explain in detail. Spacious restaurant and decorated with good taste. A wonderful place worth visiting. Remember to reserve in advance.

Beautiful ambiance—thoughtfully designed with a perfect balance of coziness and elegance. It creates a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. What truly stood out, however, was the unpretentiousness and openness of the owner. It’s rare to come across someone so genuinely passionate about their craft and so open to feedback. During my visit, I had a chance to share a few comments in real-time, and the owner was nothing but gracious. Instead of reacting defensively like you might expect from many chefs or business owners, he was kind, attentive, and appreciative of the feedback. It was clear that he’s not just focused on serving great food, but on continually improving and creating an experience that guests will remember. That kind of attitude speaks volumes about the heart and soul behind this business. I hope to visit again in the future and I will surely recommend this restaurant to everyone I know. If you’re looking for a place that combines incredible dining with a fantastic vibe, this is the spot.
