 | Colombia Restaurants | Tips 1 - 10 of 48 |  |
If you want to eat cheap you should ask for the comida corriente - a set menu of the day at the cheap restaurants. First you will get a soup then a plate with a piece of meat or chicken, some rice, potato, beans, platanos and a little bit of salad. Sometimes you will get pasta, lentils or chickpeas. There is always a small soft drink included.
The food is not the very best but it will fill your stomach. In July/August 2007 I paid between 3500 - 6000 pesos for the comida corriente, but the most common price was 4000/4500 pesos. Leave a Comment

In Colombia you can buy big fresh fruit salads (many of the fruits taste so much better than at home), but too often they put a lot of other things on the plate as well, like a sweet yoghurt sauce and cheese. Most of the times they ask you before adding anything, but sometimes they don’t, so it can be good to say that you want the fruit salad natural (if that is what you want). Leave a Comment

This restaurant is extremely popular with locals. It's been there for many years. It is a two level restaurant with a great variety of local and South American dishes. It has tasty food and tastier pastries. There are 15 types of coffee (1-1,5$), pasta, pizzas (6-7$), tasty icecream and more. Main dishes cost 5-10$. I liked the 'empanadas' very much. I bought them in good numbers...I liked better the Chilean empanada (0,80$) than the Argentinian one (0,70)

This is also a hostel with a very convenient location, as it is near the entrance of the park. It has nice scenery all around around. The hostel has a restaurant with simple and cheap local food. I had a meat dish with rice salad and fried bananas plus a fruit juice and paid about 4 $.This restaurant is convenient because otherwise you'd need a taxi to go to San Andres. (hotel prices: Double rooms 8$ with bathroom for 2 people and 12$ without bathroom for 2 )

Wherever you are, wandering through the streets of Cartagena, or anywhere else, you will come across the sign "jugos naturales", freshly squeezed fruit juice, made from fruits you have probably never of.
And they are divine!! 1500Pesos (75c) buy you a palatal orgasm. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The variety of restaurants, cafés, bars and nightclubs of Santa Fe de Bogotá is almost inexhaustible. Numerous restaurants offer excellent local cuisine,not only from the capital city but also from various regions of the country. Several restaurants function in antique colonial-style houses which are worth visiting for themselves. Notable, among others, are those that belong to the Casa Vieja chain, the Zaguán de las Aguas, and the restaurants which function in the Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions and in the house of the Marqués de San Jorge.
But Santa Fe de Bogotá is also distinguished for its variety of restaurants offering international cuisine, with dishes from all over the world. A multitude of bars and cafés from small ones to the most elegant and sophisticated establishments, invite you to enjoy drinks accompanied by music. A good spot to dine, have some drinks and perhaps dance is in the north of the city along calle 82 between carreras 11 and 15. On the calle 94 and Pepe Sierra Avenue there are also several modern discotheques.
Caribbean music has been well received in Santa Fe de Bogotá and numerous places offer visitors the possibility of listening to groups specializing in salsa, son and reggae music. Outstanding, among others, are those on the carrera 5 between calles 26 and 28, very near to the bullfighting ring. The atmosphere in these places is informal and Bohemian. There are also pleasant bars and restaurants on the road to La Calera a few minutes ride out of the city, from where you get a spectacular view of Santa Fe de Bogotá. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Tricky pic... sushi in the Zona Rosa of Bogota, just to show you can eat 'international food' with a latin heart! Anyway if you have a stong stomach, go for 'la bandeja paisa', pretty typical food from the 'paisa' part of the country, and don't leave the country without tasting one of the best 100% colombian coffee, even if you don't like coffee...
