 Ligia handing me a cheese
arepa hot off the grill. by Ames24
CHOCOLATE!!!
AREQUIPE!!!
All kinds of breads ("pan") and goodies from the bakery! Some have arequipe in them, some are/have "bocadillo" they are both yummy.
I didn't try it on my trip (why not!?!?) but try AJIACO (a type of Colombian soup).
Do try some of the YOGHURTs -- they have way more types of yoghurt there (and also i noticed that in Mexico). The Alpinas brand was one that i tried (their production place is in a town called Sopó, about one hour's drive from Bogotá).
About dairy products: you will notice that many dairy products are not in coolers. At first I thought that was weird. The only thing is to ensure it's a pasteurized product. They are good!
Do also try the variety of fruits!!!! I LOVE THE MANGOS DE AZUCAR!!! Of course do be careful to choose ones with unbroken skin, etc., and wash with bottled or other water and or some bleach or whatever if you really want to be careful.
Hot Chocolate Santafereńo style: this is hot chocolate, served with a kind of farmer's cheese. You put some in your hot chocolate and or eat some on the side. It's good!

If l put tips in here about restaurants l have been to, they would probably be out of date. So l will tell you about the typical delicious food that l have tasted.
The special dish of Bogota is called Ajiaco.
This is made from chicken, corn on the cob, different types of potatos with cream and capers. Served with avacado. The main ingredient is guasca, a herb that l can't find in Ireland.
Arepa con queso
One of my favourites. This is made from maize like a pancake, topped with melted cheese. I still buy them ready made in London when l visit.
Aroz con coco .. rice with coconut milk
Arroz con pollo
Rice with chicken. This dish is very typical found in most restaurants. Also includes vegtables and fish and is so tasty.
Hot chocolate..
To this day l still take it like the colombians. Cup of hot chocolate with cheese. You put the cheese into the chocolate and eat it with a spoon when you finished the chocolate. . yummy.
Empanada
Fried pasty stuffed with rice vegtables and meat.
Papa salada
Potatos boiled in the skin sprinkled with salt acompained with mashed avocado.. devine.
Plantano
Fried banana, flattened covered in salt.. not good for the heart.
Tamales
Pork or chicken with vegtables wrapped in a banana leave and steamed.
Dont forget to try the many different juices made from fresh fruit. Be careful if your buying from a vendor on the street as they use tap water that is dangeours to us Europeans.
This is a Colombian restaurant offering a good regional menu. It has four outlets situated in different parts of the city: Carrera 11 con Calle 89, Avenida Jimenez, Avenida Pepe Sierra and Centro Internacional. The restaurant was founded 35 years ago and since then has been serving excelent fare, especially Ajiaco with chicken, which is a Bogotano speciality. Which is delicious.
The Restaurant at the Gold Museum again is very popular with the locals for lunch and meetings or just to relax and take it all it. The food is delicious and they serve a very tasty Ajiaco. Leave a Comment Theme: Local

And don't miss out the 'hormigas' (ANTS!).
Next to the 'normal' food don't miss out the 'hormigas' (ANTS!). They are some kind of roasted. (Are they roasted or is it some other kind of preparation?)
They taste a bit too salty,I think, but others like this...at least you should try them once!!!
Don't feel sick, it's really not disgusting!!! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: One of the best Santanderean Restaurants might be "El desayunero de la 42", which is located on Av. Caracas with Cll. 42. It is 24 hours open and you'll get y great breakfast at every time of the day!
