13. February 2015: Restaurant Sopas de Mamá y Postres de la Abuela
The last meal in Colombia should be one to indulge in all the delicacies this country has to offer so I went for a variety of dishes, starting with “morcilla con papa criolla (dos provocativas morcillas servidas con papa criolla y ají casero)” (10’500 COP) and “empanadas de la abuela (¡combínalas a tu gusto!)” where […]
13. February 2015: Artesanos Café
How to spend your last day in Colombia before taking off? Always a good question and the best answer probably is “shopping”. But after a lot of shopping you also need a rest – so the Artesanos Café is the perfect place to rest as it is a bit secluded within the shopping mall, the […]
13. February 2015: Restaurant La Chimenea @ Sheraton Bogotá
The breakfast selection at the Restaurnat La Chimenea was quite extensive ranging from fresh fruit and juices … … to a selection of cereals … … warm dishes like “arepas con queso”, “papa carré” and “salchicha” … … fresh breads … … muffins and toasts … … as well as “pizza” and “pancakes” … … […]
12. February 2015: Executive Lounge @ Sheraton Bogotá
I have seen quite a few Executive Lounges so far but I must say that the one in the Sheraton Bogotá defintely belongs to the best ones so far. The selection of dishes and the respective quality is absolutely great. The selection ranges from a variety of fresh teas to fruit juices … … a […]
5. February 2015: Restaurant El Cielo – Cocina Creativa
The El Cielo is the third best restaurant of Colombia. Booking in advance is not only recommended but absolutely necessary. The moment you sit down, the first course is already served – in this case a “Carajillo (espuma de aguardiente y gotas de café)” which is very smooth and foamy not like a regular carajillo. […]
5. February 2015: Restaurant El Corral Gourmet
I was told that the El Corral Gourmet is (or at least was) the best place for burgers in Colombia – despite the fact that the El Corral Gourmet is a restaurant chain. So I went for the “La Original” (15’200 COP) and asked for “additional cheese” (+ 2’300 COP). The burger was okay for […]
4. February 2015: Restaurant Mister Ribs
As an oblea is not enough sweetness for one afternoon, I went for a “flan caramelo” (12’200 COP) which was absolutely average. The restaurant was mainly chosen because of the terrace where you had a nice view onto the park and it was perfect for people watching. The flan caramelo on the other hand was […]
4. February 2015: Oblea Street Stand
You probably haven’t heard of “Oblea” (2’000 COP) before. And to be fair, neither have I up to this very moment. An oblea is basically something like the thing you get in church but with some kind of gluey sweet thing in between. It is sold in the streets all over Colombia – and as […]
