There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colture - See places through the happiness glasses

\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing.

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor.

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there.

They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colture - See places through the happiness glasses

\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there.

Colture - See places through the happiness glasses

\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Orso\"

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream.

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions.

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colture - See places through the happiness glasses

\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor.

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar.

They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colture - See places through the happiness glasses

\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest.

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated.

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try all Asia has to offer under one same roof! in KO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they have some really cool beverage options that are worth a try too.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes.

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream.

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colture - See places through the happiness glasses

\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicher\u00e7ia

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Orso\"

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colture - See places through the happiness glasses

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions.

These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa.

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn.

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car.

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they also have wood oven pizzas with interesting combinations.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Orso\"

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and become a true coffee guru! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they make the fruits of the coffee plantations into a dessert that is an amazing side to your cup of coffee. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings.

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha

Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and become a true coffee guru! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they make the fruits of the coffee plantations into a dessert that is an amazing side to your cup of coffee. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, one must smell the coffee beans and choose one. Taking into account that there are beans with all types of aromatic hints. Next, you must choose the filtration method\u2026 Siphon (the two-part coffee machine where the brewing happens thanks to vapor pressure), Hermiston (with a metallic filter), French press (also known as plunger or melior), and Chemex (for those who like richer and creamier coffees). After the barista will help you grind the beans and you can smell them again to sense different aromas that weren\u2019t so obvious beforehand. Then the coffee is filtered, this part is carefully done by the barista. Last but not least comes the tasting!!! The best part is that if you go with friends you will be given a large cup of the one you chose and smaller ones of the ones your friends chose, so you get to compare and choose the one that is just right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and become a true coffee guru! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they make the fruits of the coffee plantations into a dessert that is an amazing side to your cup of coffee. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a sneak peak these are the steps that you will go through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, one must smell the coffee beans and choose one. Taking into account that there are beans with all types of aromatic hints. Next, you must choose the filtration method\u2026 Siphon (the two-part coffee machine where the brewing happens thanks to vapor pressure), Hermiston (with a metallic filter), French press (also known as plunger or melior), and Chemex (for those who like richer and creamier coffees). After the barista will help you grind the beans and you can smell them again to sense different aromas that weren\u2019t so obvious beforehand. Then the coffee is filtered, this part is carefully done by the barista. Last but not least comes the tasting!!! The best part is that if you go with friends you will be given a large cup of the one you chose and smaller ones of the ones your friends chose, so you get to compare and choose the one that is just right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and become a true coffee guru! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they make the fruits of the coffee plantations into a dessert that is an amazing side to your cup of coffee. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a sneak peak these are the steps that you will go through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, one must smell the coffee beans and choose one. Taking into account that there are beans with all types of aromatic hints. Next, you must choose the filtration method\u2026 Siphon (the two-part coffee machine where the brewing happens thanks to vapor pressure), Hermiston (with a metallic filter), French press (also known as plunger or melior), and Chemex (for those who like richer and creamier coffees). After the barista will help you grind the beans and you can smell them again to sense different aromas that weren\u2019t so obvious beforehand. Then the coffee is filtered, this part is carefully done by the barista. Last but not least comes the tasting!!! The best part is that if you go with friends you will be given a large cup of the one you chose and smaller ones of the ones your friends chose, so you get to compare and choose the one that is just right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and become a true coffee guru! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they make the fruits of the coffee plantations into a dessert that is an amazing side to your cup of coffee. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Orso\"

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a sneak peak these are the steps that you will go through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, one must smell the coffee beans and choose one. Taking into account that there are beans with all types of aromatic hints. Next, you must choose the filtration method\u2026 Siphon (the two-part coffee machine where the brewing happens thanks to vapor pressure), Hermiston (with a metallic filter), French press (also known as plunger or melior), and Chemex (for those who like richer and creamier coffees). After the barista will help you grind the beans and you can smell them again to sense different aromas that weren\u2019t so obvious beforehand. Then the coffee is filtered, this part is carefully done by the barista. Last but not least comes the tasting!!! The best part is that if you go with friends you will be given a large cup of the one you chose and smaller ones of the ones your friends chose, so you get to compare and choose the one that is just right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and become a true coffee guru! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they make the fruits of the coffee plantations into a dessert that is an amazing side to your cup of coffee. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Orso\"

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store offers over 15 types of coffee, coming from plantations all over the country and all the filtration methods you can ever imagine. This might sound a little overwhelming, but don\u2019t worry, the baristas are total experts and they will guide you through the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a sneak peak these are the steps that you will go through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, one must smell the coffee beans and choose one. Taking into account that there are beans with all types of aromatic hints. Next, you must choose the filtration method\u2026 Siphon (the two-part coffee machine where the brewing happens thanks to vapor pressure), Hermiston (with a metallic filter), French press (also known as plunger or melior), and Chemex (for those who like richer and creamier coffees). After the barista will help you grind the beans and you can smell them again to sense different aromas that weren\u2019t so obvious beforehand. Then the coffee is filtered, this part is carefully done by the barista. Last but not least comes the tasting!!! The best part is that if you go with friends you will be given a large cup of the one you chose and smaller ones of the ones your friends chose, so you get to compare and choose the one that is just right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is a big thing in Colombia, but a lot of the time you will find that coffee stores here only cover the basics. Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a unique store that isn\u2019t just about the coffee, but also about the culture that surrounds it. Jaime Duque, the owner, is an expert and he has created a place that is designed for teaching and exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store offers over 15 types of coffee, coming from plantations all over the country and all the filtration methods you can ever imagine. This might sound a little overwhelming, but don\u2019t worry, the baristas are total experts and they will guide you through the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is a big thing in Colombia, but a lot of the time you will find that coffee stores here only cover the basics. Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a unique store that isn\u2019t just about the coffee, but also about the culture that surrounds it. Jaime Duque, the owner, is an expert and he has created a place that is designed for teaching and exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store offers over 15 types of coffee, coming from plantations all over the country and all the filtration methods you can ever imagine. This might sound a little overwhelming, but don\u2019t worry, the baristas are total experts and they will guide you through the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a sneak peak these are the steps that you will go through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, one must smell the coffee beans and choose one. Taking into account that there are beans with all types of aromatic hints. Next, you must choose the filtration method\u2026 Siphon (the two-part coffee machine where the brewing happens thanks to vapor pressure), Hermiston (with a metallic filter), French press (also known as plunger or melior), and Chemex (for those who like richer and creamier coffees). After the barista will help you grind the beans and you can smell them again to sense different aromas that weren\u2019t so obvious beforehand. Then the coffee is filtered, this part is carefully done by the barista. Last but not least comes the tasting!!! The best part is that if you go with friends you will be given a large cup of the one you chose and smaller ones of the ones your friends chose, so you get to compare and choose the one that is just right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is a big thing in Colombia, but a lot of the time you will find that coffee stores here only cover the basics. Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a unique store that isn\u2019t just about the coffee, but also about the culture that surrounds it. Jaime Duque, the owner, is an expert and he has created a place that is designed for teaching and exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store offers over 15 types of coffee, coming from plantations all over the country and all the filtration methods you can ever imagine. This might sound a little overwhelming, but don\u2019t worry, the baristas are total experts and they will guide you through the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a sneak peak these are the steps that you will go through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, one must smell the coffee beans and choose one. Taking into account that there are beans with all types of aromatic hints. Next, you must choose the filtration method\u2026 Siphon (the two-part coffee machine where the brewing happens thanks to vapor pressure), Hermiston (with a metallic filter), French press (also known as plunger or melior), and Chemex (for those who like richer and creamier coffees). After the barista will help you grind the beans and you can smell them again to sense different aromas that weren\u2019t so obvious beforehand. Then the coffee is filtered, this part is carefully done by the barista. Last but not least comes the tasting!!! The best part is that if you go with friends you will be given a large cup of the one you chose and smaller ones of the ones your friends chose, so you get to compare and choose the one that is just right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and become a true coffee guru! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they make the fruits of the coffee plantations into a dessert that is an amazing side to your cup of coffee. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is a big thing in Colombia, but a lot of the time you will find that coffee stores here only cover the basics. Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a unique store that isn\u2019t just about the coffee, but also about the culture that surrounds it. Jaime Duque, the owner, is an expert and he has created a place that is designed for teaching and exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store offers over 15 types of coffee, coming from plantations all over the country and all the filtration methods you can ever imagine. This might sound a little overwhelming, but don\u2019t worry, the baristas are total experts and they will guide you through the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a sneak peak these are the steps that you will go through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, one must smell the coffee beans and choose one. Taking into account that there are beans with all types of aromatic hints. Next, you must choose the filtration method\u2026 Siphon (the two-part coffee machine where the brewing happens thanks to vapor pressure), Hermiston (with a metallic filter), French press (also known as plunger or melior), and Chemex (for those who like richer and creamier coffees). After the barista will help you grind the beans and you can smell them again to sense different aromas that weren\u2019t so obvious beforehand. Then the coffee is filtered, this part is carefully done by the barista. Last but not least comes the tasting!!! The best part is that if you go with friends you will be given a large cup of the one you chose and smaller ones of the ones your friends chose, so you get to compare and choose the one that is just right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and become a true coffee guru! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they make the fruits of the coffee plantations into a dessert that is an amazing side to your cup of coffee. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food.

You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a total coffee addict. I love it and I found the most amazing place to get it! Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a coffee shop designed for coffee enthusiasts, but don\u2019t worry, you don\u2019t have to be an expert to make the most of the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Drinks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is a big thing in Colombia, but a lot of the time you will find that coffee stores here only cover the basics. Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a unique store that isn\u2019t just about the coffee, but also about the culture that surrounds it. Jaime Duque, the owner, is an expert and he has created a place that is designed for teaching and exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store offers over 15 types of coffee, coming from plantations all over the country and all the filtration methods you can ever imagine. This might sound a little overwhelming, but don\u2019t worry, the baristas are total experts and they will guide you through the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a sneak peak these are the steps that you will go through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, one must smell the coffee beans and choose one. Taking into account that there are beans with all types of aromatic hints. Next, you must choose the filtration method\u2026 Siphon (the two-part coffee machine where the brewing happens thanks to vapor pressure), Hermiston (with a metallic filter), French press (also known as plunger or melior), and Chemex (for those who like richer and creamier coffees). After the barista will help you grind the beans and you can smell them again to sense different aromas that weren\u2019t so obvious beforehand. Then the coffee is filtered, this part is carefully done by the barista. Last but not least comes the tasting!!! The best part is that if you go with friends you will be given a large cup of the one you chose and smaller ones of the ones your friends chose, so you get to compare and choose the one that is just right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and become a true coffee guru! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they make the fruits of the coffee plantations into a dessert that is an amazing side to your cup of coffee. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is basically a synonym of Colombia, but you will probably find that the average Colombian only knows the basics. Making the most of our world-renowned beverage, Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica offers a wide range of coffees and teaches you about the process and how to truly make the most of your drinking experience in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a total coffee addict. I love it and I found the most amazing place to get it! Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a coffee shop designed for coffee enthusiasts, but don\u2019t worry, you don\u2019t have to be an expert to make the most of the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Drinks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is a big thing in Colombia, but a lot of the time you will find that coffee stores here only cover the basics. Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a unique store that isn\u2019t just about the coffee, but also about the culture that surrounds it. Jaime Duque, the owner, is an expert and he has created a place that is designed for teaching and exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store offers over 15 types of coffee, coming from plantations all over the country and all the filtration methods you can ever imagine. This might sound a little overwhelming, but don\u2019t worry, the baristas are total experts and they will guide you through the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a sneak peak these are the steps that you will go through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, one must smell the coffee beans and choose one. Taking into account that there are beans with all types of aromatic hints. Next, you must choose the filtration method\u2026 Siphon (the two-part coffee machine where the brewing happens thanks to vapor pressure), Hermiston (with a metallic filter), French press (also known as plunger or melior), and Chemex (for those who like richer and creamier coffees). After the barista will help you grind the beans and you can smell them again to sense different aromas that weren\u2019t so obvious beforehand. Then the coffee is filtered, this part is carefully done by the barista. Last but not least comes the tasting!!! The best part is that if you go with friends you will be given a large cup of the one you chose and smaller ones of the ones your friends chose, so you get to compare and choose the one that is just right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and become a true coffee guru! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they make the fruits of the coffee plantations into a dessert that is an amazing side to your cup of coffee. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try all Asia has to offer under one same roof! in KO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they have some really cool beverage options that are worth a try too.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is basically a synonym of Colombia, but you will probably find that the average Colombian only knows the basics. Making the most of our world-renowned beverage, Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica offers a wide range of coffees and teaches you about the process and how to truly make the most of your drinking experience in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a total coffee addict. I love it and I found the most amazing place to get it! Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a coffee shop designed for coffee enthusiasts, but don\u2019t worry, you don\u2019t have to be an expert to make the most of the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Drinks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is a big thing in Colombia, but a lot of the time you will find that coffee stores here only cover the basics. Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a unique store that isn\u2019t just about the coffee, but also about the culture that surrounds it. Jaime Duque, the owner, is an expert and he has created a place that is designed for teaching and exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store offers over 15 types of coffee, coming from plantations all over the country and all the filtration methods you can ever imagine. This might sound a little overwhelming, but don\u2019t worry, the baristas are total experts and they will guide you through the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a sneak peak these are the steps that you will go through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, one must smell the coffee beans and choose one. Taking into account that there are beans with all types of aromatic hints. Next, you must choose the filtration method\u2026 Siphon (the two-part coffee machine where the brewing happens thanks to vapor pressure), Hermiston (with a metallic filter), French press (also known as plunger or melior), and Chemex (for those who like richer and creamier coffees). After the barista will help you grind the beans and you can smell them again to sense different aromas that weren\u2019t so obvious beforehand. Then the coffee is filtered, this part is carefully done by the barista. Last but not least comes the tasting!!! The best part is that if you go with friends you will be given a large cup of the one you chose and smaller ones of the ones your friends chose, so you get to compare and choose the one that is just right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and become a true coffee guru! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they make the fruits of the coffee plantations into a dessert that is an amazing side to your cup of coffee. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is basically a synonym of Colombia, but you will probably find that the average Colombian only knows the basics. Making the most of our world-renowned beverage, Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica offers a wide range of coffees and teaches you about the process and how to truly make the most of your drinking experience in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a total coffee addict. I love it and I found the most amazing place to get it! Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a coffee shop designed for coffee enthusiasts, but don\u2019t worry, you don\u2019t have to be an expert to make the most of the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Drinks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is a big thing in Colombia, but a lot of the time you will find that coffee stores here only cover the basics. Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a unique store that isn\u2019t just about the coffee, but also about the culture that surrounds it. Jaime Duque, the owner, is an expert and he has created a place that is designed for teaching and exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store offers over 15 types of coffee, coming from plantations all over the country and all the filtration methods you can ever imagine. This might sound a little overwhelming, but don\u2019t worry, the baristas are total experts and they will guide you through the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a sneak peak these are the steps that you will go through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, one must smell the coffee beans and choose one. Taking into account that there are beans with all types of aromatic hints. Next, you must choose the filtration method\u2026 Siphon (the two-part coffee machine where the brewing happens thanks to vapor pressure), Hermiston (with a metallic filter), French press (also known as plunger or melior), and Chemex (for those who like richer and creamier coffees). After the barista will help you grind the beans and you can smell them again to sense different aromas that weren\u2019t so obvious beforehand. Then the coffee is filtered, this part is carefully done by the barista. Last but not least comes the tasting!!! The best part is that if you go with friends you will be given a large cup of the one you chose and smaller ones of the ones your friends chose, so you get to compare and choose the one that is just right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and become a true coffee guru! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they make the fruits of the coffee plantations into a dessert that is an amazing side to your cup of coffee. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chicher\u00e7ia
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is basically a synonym of Colombia, but you will probably find that the average Colombian only knows the basics. Making the most of our world-renowned beverage, Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica offers a wide range of coffees and teaches you about the process and how to truly make the most of your drinking experience in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a total coffee addict. I love it and I found the most amazing place to get it! Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a coffee shop designed for coffee enthusiasts, but don\u2019t worry, you don\u2019t have to be an expert to make the most of the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is a big thing in Colombia, but a lot of the time you will find that coffee stores here only cover the basics. Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a unique store that isn\u2019t just about the coffee, but also about the culture that surrounds it. Jaime Duque, the owner, is an expert and he has created a place that is designed for teaching and exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store offers over 15 types of coffee, coming from plantations all over the country and all the filtration methods you can ever imagine. This might sound a little overwhelming, but don\u2019t worry, the baristas are total experts and they will guide you through the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a sneak peak these are the steps that you will go through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, one must smell the coffee beans and choose one. Taking into account that there are beans with all types of aromatic hints. Next, you must choose the filtration method\u2026 Siphon (the two-part coffee machine where the brewing happens thanks to vapor pressure), Hermiston (with a metallic filter), French press (also known as plunger or melior), and Chemex (for those who like richer and creamier coffees). After the barista will help you grind the beans and you can smell them again to sense different aromas that weren\u2019t so obvious beforehand. Then the coffee is filtered, this part is carefully done by the barista. Last but not least comes the tasting!!! The best part is that if you go with friends you will be given a large cup of the one you chose and smaller ones of the ones your friends chose, so you get to compare and choose the one that is just right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a family home turned into a funky and stylish restaurant, mixing the best of traditional Colombian piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) with high-end cosmopolitan restaurants. Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Inside

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is basically a synonym of Colombia, but you will probably find that the average Colombian only knows the basics. Making the most of our world-renowned beverage, Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica offers a wide range of coffees and teaches you about the process and how to truly make the most of your drinking experience in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a total coffee addict. I love it and I found the most amazing place to get it! Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a coffee shop designed for coffee enthusiasts, but don\u2019t worry, you don\u2019t have to be an expert to make the most of the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Drinks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is a big thing in Colombia, but a lot of the time you will find that coffee stores here only cover the basics. Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a> is a unique store that isn\u2019t just about the coffee, but also about the culture that surrounds it. Jaime Duque, the owner, is an expert and he has created a place that is designed for teaching and exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store offers over 15 types of coffee, coming from plantations all over the country and all the filtration methods you can ever imagine. This might sound a little overwhelming, but don\u2019t worry, the baristas are total experts and they will guide you through the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a sneak peak these are the steps that you will go through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, one must smell the coffee beans and choose one. Taking into account that there are beans with all types of aromatic hints. Next, you must choose the filtration method\u2026 Siphon (the two-part coffee machine where the brewing happens thanks to vapor pressure), Hermiston (with a metallic filter), French press (also known as plunger or melior), and Chemex (for those who like richer and creamier coffees). After the barista will help you grind the beans and you can smell them again to sense different aromas that weren\u2019t so obvious beforehand. Then the coffee is filtered, this part is carefully done by the barista. Last but not least comes the tasting!!! The best part is that if you go with friends you will be given a large cup of the one you chose and smaller ones of the ones your friends chose, so you get to compare and choose the one that is just right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just off the center of Usaquen, a couple of blocks to the east of Cinema Paraiso<\/a> at calle 120 # 3a \u2013 47<\/a>, is Cataci\u00f3n P\u00fablica<\/a>. The place is easily accessible by private transportation<\/a> or public services on Carrera 7. If you decide to take your car, you can even park right in front of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The store is divided into two main areas: one for the coffee enthusiasts who are just there for a drink, and another for the pros who truly want to learn about coffee (they offer diverse barista classes). The areas for the general public are simple tables for small groups that allow the coffee to be the main event and not the space surrounding it. The lab for the pros is like a super cool classroom, but with all the coffee gadgets needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After tasting various types and filtration methods, my personal favorite is Manta from Cundinamarca made with a Hermiston. But this is really a matter of personal opinions; I\u2019m into sweet yet strong coffees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time to go is on a Sunday because you will get to experience the famous Usaquen flea market<\/a> nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at KO Asian Cuisine<\/a> or Chicher\u00eda Demente<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of a neighborhood full of workshops and small factories lies Chicheria Demente: a unique restaurant that gives a new meaning to everyday Colombian food. By mixing the best of traditional piqueteaderos (small local and casual restaurants) and world-class restaurants, New York chef Steve Haritopoulos creates an innovative dining option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit a new city or country you obviously want to try the food from there, but sometimes the most traditional restaurants don\u2019t seem that appealing. Chicheria Demente<\/a> gives you the best of both worlds under the same roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Food
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Chicheria Demente, chef Steve Haritopoulos takes the essence of our traditional food and combines it with modern cuisine to create amazing meals. Just like traditional piqueteaderos, the idea is finger food that tastes best when shared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the essence is Colombian, there are loads of options that are bound to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings. On the menu, you will find diverse options that range from eggplant salad and manchego empanadas<\/a> to chicken cooked in aguardiente and chorizo with Queso<\/a> Paipa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No meal is complete without dessert and here they have some that are truly worth it. They take a while to prepare, so it is best to order them with the entr\u00e9es. I recommend the Mora crumble with yogurt ice cream, a perfect balance between sweet and sour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chicha

And going to a chicheria, of course, means drinking chicha!!! This is a traditional alcoholic beverage<\/a> that comes from fermented corn. The taste isn\u2019t a crowd-pleaser, but let\u2019s be honest, this is probably the only chance you will have to try it! Plus, you can get a small portion and try it in shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicheria Demente is located at Calle 69 # 15 \u2013 08<\/a> in the middle of a neighborhood characterized by small industries. You can get there by public transport, Uber, or they have valet parking (which is free if you have a Mastercard Black). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, it may seem like any other traditional building in the area, but as soon as you go through the front door, you know you are in a place that is one of a kind! You will start seeing colorful walls, hearing old school Colombian music, and smelling all the delicious flavors that characterize our food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding a massive parrilla (BBQ<\/a> grill) are a number of spaces with colorful murals and furniture that highlight our history. This place is a must for all tourists and an amazing option for a groovy lunch with friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for starters, the Plantain Empanadas with apple and cheddar are to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the entr\u00e9es, the Asado de Tira is super tender and tasty. While you are at it, you can get as a side: a salad made of different types of tomatoes and cheese that is also amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at Indio<\/a>, Orso helader\u00eda<\/a>, and Kokoa<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try a gourmet version of Colombian piqueteaderos! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they also have wood oven pizzas with interesting combinations.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Salvio, the trendy new office building in Parque 93 in Bogot\u00e1, lies KO, an Asian restaurant that will excite all your senses. With a bar, a terrace, and a dining area, they have different settings that are bound to fit with your night out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes choosing is difficult. A fancy night out or a simple evening? Thai or Indian? Drinks or dinner? KO makes it simple. They give you all the options under the same roof, so you can decide what type of a night it is and what kind of Asian food you are craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Restaurant

Asian cuisine is becoming really trendy in Bogot\u00e1<\/a>. Adding to the diverse options that already exist, comes KO<\/a>; simple Asian cuisine at its finest. They focus on giving the ingredients the importance they deserve, meaning that with simple yet precise combinations, they create unique and explosive flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia is a continent that produces all types of gastronomical experiences, so combining them seems a little overwhelming. To make this simpler, the menu is divided into different sections depending on the country where the food originated. They combine popular choices such as poke and sushi, with lesser-known options like dim sum and Asian tacos, meaning there is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recommendation would be to share plates from different regions. If you are a little confused about what to choose, the waiters are really friendly and are more than happy to guide you through the whole experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Osaka<\/a> and La Lucha Sanguicheria Criolla,<\/a> KO is the third Peruvian food franchise that has come to Colombia thanks to Elemento 4K and MCK Restaurants in Lima. This is the first restaurant they have that doesn\u2019t offer Peruvian cuisine and is a definite must for any foodie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the ground floor of Bogota\u2019s new trendy multifunctional building Salvio 93 (Calle 93 a # 12 \u2013 35)<\/a> is KO<\/a>. Since the building is in the middle of Parque 93, it is super easy to get to walking, on a scooter, public transport<\/a>, or a car. It is on the southern side of the park and with its gorgeous wooden facade, it is hard to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KO has two terraces that face the park and an indoor area that lies between an open kitchen and the bar. Even though there is only one large area, they have managed to create different settings that include tall tables ideal for some drinks, long tables for casual lunches, a bar for simple snacks, and small tables for traditional nights out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I love about the place is that they use simple materials and a basic color palette that creates a nice contrast with the explosive food that is served. Plus, it feels like a trendy minimalistic Asian restaurant you would find in cities such as NY, Paris, and London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"KO
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite: the coconut shrimp tempura (first photo). The one that everyone is going crazy about is the nori tacos, thanks to the fab combination of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go for lunch, you should be fine, but if you plan on having dinner there, I recommend making a reservation to avoid having to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at El Cebollero<\/a> or Or<\/a>s<\/a>o helader\u00eda<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: they have some really cool beverage options that are worth a try too.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When the sun comes out, ice cream is the way to go. Orso Helader\u00eda mixes Colombian ingredients and Italian tradition in order to create an experience that goes far beyond traditional ice cream. With cute little stores and creative ways to serve ice cream, this place is a must in Bogot\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 is a thriving and lively city, but sometimes, all you want is a little peace and quiet to get away from it all. Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> is perfect for these occasions. This small gourmet Italian-like ice cream shop has four locations around the city, which are bound to make you fall in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ice
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The philosophy behind the products is to combine Italian gelatos with Colombian products, so just like Italian ice creams, these are soft and creamy, but they have Colombian vibes. These craft ice creams are perfect for a sunny afternoon with some friends or those of us with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda<\/a> offers traditional flavors such as Stracciatella and Amarena, but they also have some inspired by Colombian fruits<\/a> such as curuba, lulo, and feijoa. My personal favorite is Chai tea with banana, it tastes outrageously good, plus you can\u2019t get it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case the ice creams aren\u2019t enough of a temptation, they also have different options to add some funk. Milkshakes. Brownies from Chocology, which basically melt in your mouth. Fresh buns with Nutella and ice cream inside. And their best seller: warm cookies with your favorite flavor of ice cream on top. A traditional cone with two scoops costs $6,900 COP ($2.5 USD) and the more exotic choices vary between $6,900 and $12,900 COP ($2.5 - $4.5 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bogot\u00e1 can get a little hectic and these ice cream stores are great places to get a little bit of me-time or for a casual evening with friends. They have four stores in North Bogota\u2019s<\/a> main dining and cultural centers: Usaquen<\/a> (Calle 117 # 6a \u2013 60<\/a>), Zona T (Carrera 9 # 81a \u2013 19<\/a>), Zona G (Calle 66 # 4a \u2013 08<\/a>), and Parque de la 93 (Carrera 11a # 93 \u2013 94<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering how you are going to get some peace and quiet if all the stores are in the middle of all the action. Well, they aren\u2019t on the main streets, but on small and calmer streets within walking distance from all these gastronomical epicenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the stores have no more than a couple of basic wooden tables with some stools and maybe a sofa. They use simple materials like concrete and bricks that make a lovely contrast with the mosaic tiles on the floor. Additionally, the ones at Parque de la 93 and Zona T have small terraces with nice fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orso Helader\u00eda offers special flavors that change on a monthly and weekly basis, so it is worth asking about those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite store is the one on Calle 81 because it is the smallest and cutest, but the one in Usaqu\u00e9n is the most modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at\u00a0 The best BBQ hidden in Chapinero Alto<\/a> or KO<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and indulge in ice cream\u2019s lover\u2019s heaven! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: Their coffee <\/a>is Devoci\u00f3n, so it is really good quality - in case you are looking for something to go with your dessert.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fast food has changed radically in recent years. Nowadays, there are loads of gourmet hamburgers and pizzas, so why not try gourmet hot dogs? At El Cebollero, they take their hot dogs very seriously and by combining local ingredients and flavors, they create unique meals in Bogot\u00e1. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cebollero<\/a> takes hot dogs to a whole new level by offering 15 different options inspired by Colombian ingredients and landscapes. Yes, you read correctly: Colombian landscapes! Each hot dog is crafted and named after a famous town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sauces
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They have a fair number of hot dogs, but if you want, you can modify them a little and create your own explosion of flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step one: pick a hot dog. El Cebollero<\/a> offers sausages made from chicken, beef, and pork. They also have a vegetarian option made from lentils. Each one comes with a set of toppings that makes it absolutely unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step two: choose from craft bread or arepas. If you want your hotdog to be a little more traditional, you can get it in craft bread, which is amazing. But, in case you are feeling more adventures and want to experiment a little more, you can get it with mini Colombian arepas<\/a> and hogao<\/a> (traditional homemade tomato and onion sauce).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step three: choose your side. There are three options, papas criollas<\/a> (small potatoes from Cundinamarca or Boyac\u00e1), arrachachas (national root vegetables somewhere between a carrot and a potato), and salad. Don\u2019t worry, they are all great options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step four: pick your beverage. We Colombians are big on juices. On the menu are a number of options that combine Colombian fruits<\/a>, like maracuya, mango, strawberry, and mandarin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step five: the sauces. By this point in your dining out experience, you will have probably noticed that six sauces have been sitting at your table ever since you got there. They have chipotle, mustard, chimichurri, pickled onions, pickled peppers, and pickled radishes. There you can add anywhere you want, and I highly recommend you try them all. They are AMAZING!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Place<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"El
\u00a9 Photograph Paula Aponte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of trendy Chapinero<\/a> at Calle 58 # 3a - 17<\/a> lies this gourmet hot dog venue. Easily accessible by car (you can park in front of the restaurant), on foot if you are in the neighborhood, or public transport<\/a> that runs through Carrera 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with long wooden tables and benches, rustic-looking materials and random little details, this place is amazing for a relaxed dining experience. They have both an indoor area and a terrace with this boho-like vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to make a reservation, but on weekends, the place can get a little packed for lunch. Meals cost around $20,000 COP (around $7 USD) and are worth every last penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite and the one I go for 9 out of 10 times is Playa Blanca (the one in the main photo). It\u2019s beef sausage marinated in panela (sundried unrefined cane sugar) with coste\u00f1o cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They normally have monthly specials, so don\u2019t forget to ask about them when you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can order a mix of arracacha and papas criollas to go with your hotdog if you can\u00b4t decide and get both is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, if you are up for other groovy ideas, take a look at A clandestine dinner<\/a> or Bogot\u00e1\u2019s best hidden BBQ<\/a>. Also, for other restaurant reviews, you can follow me on Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Degusta<\/a> as Espacios y Sabores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go and try the gourmet and Colombian version of a hot dog in El Cebollero!!! I promise you would regret not going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus: They have a variety of craft beers that are really worth trying and they will guide you through the options if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
