4 Best Restaurants in Bogotá, Colombia

El Altillo del Sol Cafe

$$
Charming and plant filled, this quaint little coffee shop makes a great escape from the rush of the Sunday-market streets. Visit on a quiet day to relax, sip a coffee, and have a go at some of the dangerously tasty cakes. The Spanish hot chocolate is thick enough to stand a spoon up in, and is beastly good.

Empanadas Argentinas y Algo Mas

$
Marked by it’s faded green door and small flag, this tiny kiosk brings a slice of Argentina to the streets of Usaquen, complete with a faded Quilmes beer sign on the wall. Great empanadas grace the menu, as well as a few other treats like a sandwich de milanesa (an Argentinean beef schnitzel sandwich) or alfajores de maizena (a layered corn-flour cookie with a dulce de leche filling and coconut sprinkles).

Home Burgers

$$

Sometimes you just need a good burger, and that is the simple premise behind Home Burgers, a modern diner-style salon with a fast-food counter. The burgers are quality beef, perfectly grilled to your liking, and the fries superb. There’s also an excellent veggie-burger option. Come early if you want to get a table—both Chapinero branches fill up quickly.

Masa

$$
An artisanal bakery and coffee shop, this spot is the perfect place to feed your midafternoon snack attack. The bread is top-notch, and there are plenty of sandwich options for the savory minded. This is also a haven for sweet tooths; try the decidedly Parisian almond croissant or monstrous ice-cream sandwich.
