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 client’s taste. It offers outdoor environments, with a garden that makes any meal special, and a terrace; as well as a slightly more intimate dining room atmosphere, full of music and warmth
According to their owners Jaime Escobar and Luis Carlos Piñerio, they are meat specialists that emanate and taste like France, their cheeses, their sauces based on dried oils and vegetables, their exclusively designed salads. A French restaurant has to be characterized by its bistro cuisine, strong but delicate. And what can never be missing: a very complete wine list. The main dishes can be very affordable, as well as a little more expensive (between 25 thousand pesos and 50 thousand Colombian pesos). But in general the average price to taste this delicious French crib is at 60 thousand Colombian pesos.

This restaurant is not recognized only for being in the busiest point of the G zone, 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 food is designed to be the perfect companion of wines, but also of more alcoholic drinks.
Its atmosphere is characterized by a large terrace, where you must arrive early if you expect to find a free corner.

Tel: 6105210
pg web: http://www.harrysasson.com/
Once again we enter Chef Sasson’s area and the famous T zone, another of the busiest culinary and shopping spots in Bogotá. So busy that it is normal to distinguish one from another politician or entrepreneur. Balzac is more charming at night because you can enjoy its serenity.
It is a kitchen that experiences, but retains its sobriety. He builds his dishes with the finest and exquisite haute cuisine foods such as mussels, mushrooms and asparagus, but he risks experimenting with his presentation and preparation. Balzac experiments especially with its tickets, so the least you can miss from this restaurant is to try a special snack design.

Asian atmosphere, authentic Japanese and Thai designs. This fancy restaurant is located, again, in the exclusive gastronomy sector of Bogotá. Its atmosphere is characterized by the basic principles of Asian interior design: high ceilings, soft lighting, and a traditional oriental design combined with a vibrant modern environment.
His culinary concept focuses not only on sushi, but on the great cuts and the most exotic combinations.

This restaurant has a very clear concept, creating powerful food with simple ingredients, without pretense or extravagance. The idea is to respect the original cooking and flavors of their dishes to preserve a rustic kitchen, but giving it more forcefulness with one or another complement. It is a space that harmonizes between a lush garden and a cozy dining room.
If I had a specialty it would be the homemade pork tenderloin, but here you can also find well sauteed seafood, red and white meats with excellent preparation. Its strength is found in the exquisite use of cheese, wine, oils, spices, herbs, firewood and other supplements that give a special flavor to the traditional.

A restaurant with authority, whose owner is Japanese.

For its main chef Andrew Blackbourn, this place “is the closest thing you can be to the sea”. Both in the environment and in the food you can feel the concept of the Caribbean and the Pacific flooding each dish. It is a large house with a traditional touch, which recalls living near the sea.
His crooks are almost as varied as life in the Pacific and the Caribbean. Fish, oysters, pianguas, octopus, cocktails, marine snacks are their specialty, but their characteristic is the vibrant taste at the end of each bite, made with rum and lemon.

10. Gamberro

Tel: 745 5757
Koldo Miranda, chef and creator of Gamberro, defines his restaurant as “a place for all times”. It is a restaurant that presumes to be traditional but cannot avoid experimenting with everything that characterizes international cuisine. From traditional cuts of beef, pork, seafood and poultry to ramen, peasant cheese or marinated duck with five rice dishes.
Its design was thought to be exclusive but homemade, where the protagonist is the kitchen, where the experience has to be between the food, the kitchen and the diner. It combines Creole cuisine with Mediterranean and Cantabrian cuisine. If you want to enjoy a dish designed by chef Miranda, the average price is 70 thousand to 80 thousand Colombian pesos.
