When we asked people living in Colombia about good local restaurants, they mentioned...

"One of Colombia's most beloved restaurants is El Chato, located in Bogotá. El Chato is known for its traditional Colombian cuisine, such as ajiaco, a hearty soup made with chicken, potatoes, and corn. The restaurant also serves a variety of other dishes, including empanadas, tamales, and arepas. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Another popular restaurant in Colombia is La Puerta Falsa, located in Bogotá. This restaurant is known for its traditional Colombian dishes, such as bandeja paisa, a hearty plate of rice, beans, chorizo, and plantains. The restaurant also serves a variety of other dishes, including tamales, empanadas, and arepas. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Finally, La Casa Vieja is a popular restaurant in Medellín. This restaurant is known for its traditional Colombian dishes, such as sancocho, a hearty soup made with chicken, potatoes, and plantains. The restaurant also serves a variety of other dishes, including empanadas, tamales, and arepas. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Colombia.

"There are two primary areas where restaurants, bars and nightlife are concentrated. The one most commonly known by tourists is in El Poblado in the vicinity of Parque Lleras. The one frequented by locals and some Europeans is further north on Carrera 70. Almost anyone can direct you to these two areas," commented one expat who made the move to Medellin, Colombia.
