Easily one of the chillest cafes in Bogota. Excellent coffee and craft beer options. Airy and spacious interior with an open-roof. Feels like you’re in Brooklyn.
The only Persian spot in town (as far as I know). Legit fare with fantastic service. Definitely get the koobideh!
Some of the most innovative cooking in Colombia. Seasonal and flavorful dishes (don’t miss the palm hearts). That said, the menu isn’t perfect (the fettuccini and meatballs is a real head scratcher).
Ubicado en una bella casona de Chapinero Alto, mesa franca sintetiza la cocina de autor como deber ser, equilibrada, sin pretensiones. Platos bien logrados y el ambiente y la atención fantásticos.
An absolute must-do in Bogota. Pre-game in advance in a van on the way here, order up some giant cocktails the size of your head, and enjoy the reggaeton/salsa all night long. Especially on Saturdays.
Hands down most legit bowl of ramen I’ve come across in Bogotá. Nowhere else even comes close. The miso ramen is absolutely spot on in terms of flavor and texture. Gyoza could use some work, though.
Cool neighborhood beer bar, feels like you’re in the East Village when you walk in. Limited beer selection, though.
Can’t miss this place in Zona T. No matter what type of music you prefer, you’re gonna have a great night here guaranteed.
Cool outdoor balcony area; can be a little picky at the door. Otherwise if you’re a reggaeton fan (I mean it, they don’t play anything else), you’re bound to have a good time.
Best coffee in Bogota. They have a great selection and the space is so cool. Also good if you want to bring your laptop and use their wi-fi to work for a few hours.
Este es el mejor capuchino de la ciudad: café de gran calidad, con unas notas de sabor a panela, la leche no está quemada, ni opaca el carácter del café
Unique cocktails in a cool vibe near where The EightySix used to be. The only downer is that they close so early (midnight).
The salmon and avocado toast is perfect for a light brunch. Great coffee too (made with a La Marzocco).
Pretty legit dumpling spot with a dope aesthetic, I must say. Try the beef or pork dumplings. Wish the Sichuan spicy oil were hotter though
Never disappoints. If you're craving Korean food -- kimchi jjigae, doenjang jjigae, bibimbap, etc. -- this is your spot. They even have some criollo banchan (plaintains), which is a nice twist.
Excelente atención y si no sabes que cerveza pedir te dan una muestra. Fantastico lugar!
Come here for a mix of reggaeton and live champeta. They have decent libations and a chill upstairs terrace.
Feels like you're transported to Thailand when you're here. Great massages; on the pricey side, but definitely worth it.
All-around fantastic. Super chill vibe, especially when they have live music, and the food is superb to boot (get the roast suckling pig).
Great tunes are played here. Also, be cool with the bouncers or you're out. One of the best spots on a Wednesday.
Nearly identical to the other locations down to the most minute details (except here they give you butter for your bread). Get your steak rare and a glass of Malbec to accompany it.
One of the few restaurants with a long, NYC-esque wait. That's a good sign. Pricey, but well worth it. Cocktails are fantastic as well.
Imagine if Momofuku Noodle Bar were run by a Colombian chef. Enter Amen Ramen. The wings and baos are fantastic. Ramen Diablo is creative and pretty tasty, but not a traditional bowl by any means.
Okay so the cacio e pepe on the menu isn’t really what you would consider a romano cacio e pepe, but it’s still a fantastic plate of pasta.
Fantastic baguettes, exactly like any of the other Kaysers around the world.
Easily some of the best sushi in Bogota. Can’t miss the beef sirloin sushi roll.
Super friendly staff that’s willing to teach you how to play and get you all set up. Come here with a group of friends, order a case of 15 beers, and blow stuff up.
Great place to watch a bullfight while the season is going on. If you're lucky, maybe a group of drunk men nearby will share their rum with you.
Finally, a more "alternative" bar in Zona T. Tons of different rooms to explore across three (or more?) levels. If you're here for Gringo Tuesday, it's way more fun here than at La Villa.
Absolutely fantastic tacos and tostadas. Pair them with an Oaxaca Old Fashioned.
One of the rare cool restaurants in the area (i.e. not Wok or anything like that). You could easily be in NYC or Toronto.
Hands down one of the best speakeasy-style cocktail bars in town. Chris crafts each cocktail with care, making sure to make as many ingredients as possible in-house. Dope music as well.
Awesome place. Two types of music, great people. A lil underground, but that’s the great thing about it
Similar to Theatron in concept -- multiple environments, each with their own distinct identity -- but more interactive. There's a space with a graffiti'd car, a room full of vintage arcade games, etc.
Same as the one in Medellin. Fantastic tasting menu and impeccable service. Truly a fully sensory experience.
Seasonal and flavorful lunch-only spot with a cool rustic interior. The menu changes up weekly and is reasonably priced as well.
Definitely get a guide! Not the kind of place to just show up and start hiking. Beautiful landscape all around.
One of the best Italian spots I’ve been to in Bogota. Definitely get a pizza, the oxtail ravioli, and one of the many carpaccios.
Solid tacos from the same owners as Julia the pizzeria. Get the tacos "en costra" and try the chipotle sauce, it’s fantastic.
One of my favorite neighborhood bars. Grab a jarra of the IPA, send some napkins, and enjoy the night. Food options could be improved, but hey, it’s a bar.
Some of the best coffee in the city, alongside the likes of Azahar, Colo Coffee, and Cafe Cultor. Might even have the chillest vibes among the bunch.
The hype is real. This place is simply the best party spot in Zona T – hands down. Reggaeton all night with the most beautiful people in the city. Note that the dress code is strict.
Hands down the most legit Thai food in Bogota — a northern outpost of the one in La Macarena, and just as good. Try their curries, fantastic with just the right amount of heat (real Thai spicy).
Not a bad attempt at a NY-style thin crust pizza. Flavorful, not too heavy, and the best part: it’s open until 4am. Prices are a bit high though for what it is.
As is standard for Asian spots in Bogota, the pho here is literally not pho; it’s more akin to a Taiwanese style beef noodle soup. Not bad, just not pho. The chilli dumplings are quite good as well.
Shareable plates and Brooklyn vibes up in here. Don’t miss their roast chicken. Oh and get the chicha of course.
Try the chicha and spend an afternoon just chilling with friends and a couple drinks in the square.
The burrata pizzas here are on point. As is their spaghetti aglio e olio. Drizzle their hot oil all over and enjoy.
Finally a real craft beer spot in Bogota. Plenty of local brews of every style, and a fridge in case you want some bottles to go.
An elevated BBC. Plenty of group seating, a pretty decent IPA, and better food options than Mono Bandido. Cool interior as well.
The closest thing you’ll find in Bogota to a California-esque, healthy food-kind of a place. Think beet salads, hummus, and kombucha. That said, everything here is fantastic and well-prepared.
Great spot for chilling with some tapas and sherry sangria on the weekend. Gets extremely crowded, though.
Yup, this is the best Italian restaurant in Bogota, bar none. Everything is fantastic - the salads, steak, pasta -- all of it.
Everything. The tamales, empanaditas de pipián, the carantantas. Get it all.
Yeah, you could get all of these things elsewhere (shout out to the arepas de huevo and chicharrones) for a fraction of the price, but where else can you get them all in one place and with mimosas?
Full service indie theater, decent selection of food and drinks that they serve in your seat. Great selection of foreign and art house films, as well as some blockbusters.
Obviously get the bandeja paisa. Enjoy the complimentary guaro shot and weird sayings written on the menu.
The aesthetic is on point, wouldn’t be out of place in Brooklyn or the Lower East Side. To enjoy this place, make sure you’re really into underground trance and deep house...
