Bogota
BOGOTA - BEST RESTAURANTS
Introduction
Bogotá is the capital of Colombia and due to its proximity to the equator there is always a possibility of rain; so never forget to bring a raincoat and an umbrella! Nevertheless the city wants to be discovered by foot; While strolling through the historic la Calendaria - a lovely quartier of cafes, museums and romantic restaurants like the La Bruja - or Northern Bogotá - a modern district of Bogotá with plush shopping malls. And, you definitely have to eat at Andres Carne de Res ("if you haven't been to Andres you haven't been to Bogotá") which is located in Chia, about 30 min. drive outside the town.

ANDRES CARNE DE RES
If you haven't been to Andres you haven't been to Bogotá; "ANDRES CARNE DE RES" is out of town in Chia, about 30 minutes drive; started in 1994 as a place to hang out with your family on a Sunday afternoon; it's a bar, a restaurant and a party place in one; the decor is amazing and authentique with Colombian ornaments, old photographs, mattresses, bells and candles; Andres specializes in Colombian food with a focus on grilled meat: great "t-bone steaks served with tortillas and filled tomatoes"; amazing vibe and open until late; make sure to have someone who's driving you home! In any case, drivers-to-rent wait outside
BALZAC
Great French bistro food in zona T; warm atmosphere and great for lunch
EL SALTO DEL ANGEL
Definitely a nice place to start the evening with friends and good food; "SALTO DEL ANGEL" turns later into a nightclub - gets really crowded on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays; the DJ plays 80's, electro and latin music
