Best authentic Spanish restaurant in Colombia in my opinion. From the service to the menu of appetizers and main dishes to desserts or the wine or drink selections, everything is first class. One of my favorite appetizers from Spainish restaurants is Boqueones ( fresh anchovies in olive oil and vinegar and garlic ) , this restaurant had them served absolutely delicately and served as delicious as the ones you get in Madrid . We also had the garlic mushrooms and then the Chetaubriabd steak whicb was absolutely cooked to perfection . Wife had the veal Milanese and asparagus soup which was delicious. We had Spanish red wine and it was delicious. The place has a classy vibe with indoor and outdoor seating . Elegant , professional and courteous. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and friendly. The restaurant has a great bar and seating area that does not encroach on the dining area . Highly recommended.
Newly refurbished but with terrible acoustics conversations hard to have without yelling, overly close seating does not help. The food was middling at best due to over saucing all the selected meat dishes, waiter service extremely uneven, went twice in a week but no longer the upscale traditional restaurant of decades ago.
Still for us the best place to eat in the city, and perhaps in Colombia. We had no problem with the food or the cost (just over $200 for two with a decent bottle of Rioja and an expensive Spanish Brandy). The service was a little more questionable. We were stuck between two large, very demanding tables who left our server with little time for us. It took us forty minutes, and then with a couple of prompts, to get the wine list and our food delivery was anything but polished in timing. The room is beautiful but always seems uncomfortably hot, and this is not a room to dress casually. This is a place with many regulars and perhaps it’s the case that as an occasional visitor you don’t get the same level of attention? The front desk seemed unable to get us a taxi after dining, and there were some issues with traffic in the city that night. We walked back to our hotel, the area is pleasant, but probably not wise for the majority of visitors to the city.
exceptional. one of the best restaurants in bogota and perhaps latin america. has become actually better with time. Expensive but worthwhile.
