Peru is the culinary center of Latin America and Rafael provides a tasting.

It is a distinguished Peruvian restaurant located in one of the most popular and busy sectors of Bogotá. Its concept focuses on fusing a tropical vision with a modern environment, and for owner-chef Rafael Osterling, this is reflected in his dishes. The important thing is to preserve the tradition hand in hand with the experimentation typical of Peruvian cuisine. The atmosphere is relaxed, with some of the most notorious works of art commemorated in the bar, while the dining room is a bit more formal.

As a good Peruvian restaurant, its essence is the special and unique preparation of the fish to add a pinch of vibrant flavor to its dishes: spicy, sweet, or sweet and sour. Clearly, you will also find a variety of dishes: pasta, lean cuts of red and white meat, including dishes for those demanding vegetarians. In entrees, its price ranges between 30,000 and 50,000 Colombian pesos, although you can find dishes for 70,000 and 80,000 pesos. Approximately the average price of everything is 90 thousand pesos

French cuisine has many places in Bogotá, but especially in one of its gastronomic streets, Carrera 13 with Calle 85. This restaurant is designed to meet the customer’s taste. It offers outdoor environments, with a garden that makes any meal special, and a terrace; as well as a slightly more intimate atmosphere in the dining room, full of music and warmth

According to its owners Jaime Escobar and Luis Carlos Piñerio, they are specialists in meats that exude and taste of France, their cheeses, their sauces based on oils and dried vegetables, their exclusively designed salads. A French restaurant has to be characterized by its strong but delicate bistro cuisine. And what can never be missing: a very complete wine list. The entrees can be very affordable, as well as a little more expensive (between 25,000 and 50,000 Colombian pesos). But in general, the average price to taste this delicious French cradle is 60,000 Colombian pesos.

3. Harry’s Bar

This restaurant is not only recognized for being in the busiest point of zone G, but for being one of the best projects of the famous Colombian chef Harry Sasson. For him, the essence of this bar is to maintain a balance between a sophisticated tavern and a casual restaurant. And this is demonstrated in a menu where the food is designed to be the perfect accompaniment to wines, but also to more alcoholic beverages.

Its atmosphere is characterized by a large terrace, where you should arrive early if you expect to find a free corner. With an open kitchen and an impressive cellar, it is a place that can be multipurpose, from a business meeting to a romantic date or with friends.

4.Balzac

Address:Cll. 83 # 12-19
Tel: 6105210
Web page: http://www.harrysasson.com/

Once again we enter the chef Sasson area and the famous T zone, another of the busiest culinary and shopping spots in Bogotá. So crowded that it is normal to distinguish one politician or businessman from another. Balzac is clothed with more charm at night since he can enjoy his serenity.

It is a kitchen that experiments, but that preserves its sobriety. He builds his dishes with the finest and most exquisite haute cuisine foods such as mussels, mushrooms and asparagus, but he risks experimenting in his presentation and preparation. Balzac experiments above all with his appetizers, so the least thing you can miss at this restaurant is to try a special design of appetizers. Its average price fluctuates between 80,000 and 90,000 Colombian pesos.
