Best Hidden Restaurants In Bogota

By no means have I been able to try all the restaurants in Bogota, but from the ones I have tried, this is my list of the top 3 restaurants so far. In this list, I am making an effort to go beyond the typical chain restaurants that are popular in Bogota. For example, if you ask a local, they are most likely to recommend Crepes & Waffles, Wok, or Harry Sassons. To me, theses are average, so I am recommending something different that most people aren´t aware of.

Flor de Loto: An Indian restaurant with great food and ambiance. Here you can find most traditional Indian dishes. It is decorated with Indian art and even has a traditional alter. The service is very good and friendly which suites the calm and quiet environment. I believe the chef is American and ingredients are imported. Cash only, but excellent choice for a romantic date.



Agave Azul: The award-winning Mexican restaurant is exclusive because of the dishes and size of the restaurant. It can be considered a boutique restaurant as it is highly stylish and very small, fitting about 5 tables at the most. There is a set menu each night that ncludes tapa style portions, but with at least 5 courses made for sharing. Small servings are fitting for the cocktail options, so it is rather satisfying because of the amazing fresh and unique flavors. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for something different.

La Taperia: A Spanish tapas restaurant with a great variety of dishes. Tapas servings are bigger than average and one of the few places you can find a variety of imported European beers. They have live music like Flamenco and DJs at least one a week. The environment is like a lounge/bar, but with a great art selection and murals.
