Bogota Restaurants and Bars

Bogota Restaurants

Cafe y Crepes Carrera 16 No. 82-17. The style of the cafe has been inspired by the pursuits of the great outdoors, but inside is very cosy. You can lounge around on pillows in front of a fire and try the mulled wine on offer. Sweet and savoury crepes are available here.

Carbon del Palo - Avenue 19 No. 106-12, This is the City's premier meat restaurant and is frequented by politicians and government officials. The grilled meats are excellent as are the salads.

Casa San Isidro Cerro de Monserrate. Situated in a fabulous location on the Cerro de Monserrate, 2,000 feet above the city, you need to take the cable car to get to this fish restaurant. The views are wonderful and food excellent.

El Patio - Carrera 4A No. 27-86. Located near the bohemian area of La Macarena this small restaurant is crowded but has a great atmosphere and the food is good.
