"I save this spot for dinner and dig into decadent dishes like smoked trout yucca croquettes and pork ribs marinated in coffee cherry cascara vinegar." - Michaela Trimble

"Housed in an old English-style home, this cozy restaurant-coffee shop-cocktail bar emphasizes local, responsibly sourced ingredients in internationally legible dishes — notable preparations include octopus with hogao and roasted lamb neck with peto — and retains a strong dedication to coffee; the small, frequently changing menu yields carefully crafted plates and desserts (like a picture-perfect milhoja with dulce de leche) served in an open, homey space with a fireplace." - Pablo Medina Uribe

"An influential restaurant whose arrival helped anchor the area's reputation for ambitious, creative cuisine, contributing to rising demand for local dining real estate." - Lesley Suter

"Led by Alejandro Gutiérrez, this early and experimental adherent of Bogotá’s culinary renaissance is devoted to highlighting local foodstuffs and specialty Colombian coffees through inventive, technical compositions. Dishes include albacore tataki pan-seared in native achira leaves and served in a smoked-trout stock finished with pineapple vinegar, macadamia nuts and pickled onions, as well as slow-braised pork paired with boronía (a puree of sweet plantains and eggplant), arugula oil and a fermented sauce made from local coffee husks." - Juliana Duque
