The 26 Essential Restaurants in Medellín, Colombia
"For breakfast or lunch, this traditional restaurant of Antioquian and Colombian cuisine is the ideal place to immerse yourself in local foodways. It’s also a perfect welcome or goodbye to the city, as the original venue is strategically located near the airport. Order one of the fruit juices, such as lulo (a tangy nightshade), and share some arepas, empanadas, or a pastel de pollo (chicken pie). Try the cazuela de frijoles (bean stew), a preparation that is characteristic of the Paisa culture. The business also includes a store that sells traditional sweets, arepas, tamales, and other items to take away, making for great gastronomic souvenirs." - Liliana López Sorzano
Excellent place to experience Paisa cultural dining. I had the traditional bowl of beans with Chicharrón and their homemade sausage links. It was served with avocado and salsa. Very filling and delicious.
Plenty of seating and well lit with natural sunlight. They also have a small key that allows you to buy traditional Colombian food items.

Close to the Rionegro International airport this is the #1 spot you want to hit to get a taste of authentic Colombian Bandeja Paisa and much more.
We ordered the Bandeja Paisa, Chicharrones and empanadas and everything was ON POINT!

This is a great place to explore Colombian gastronomic. The food was excellent. Service was attentive and kind. Everything was fantastic. I recommend to try the morcilla. The best I’ve ever had. They also have a little market downstairs where you can find cheese, eggs and other delicious food and desserts. This is always my first stop when arriving to Medellin.
