  1. Tapas Macarena

    Run by a Dutch/Colombian couple, this cool corner spot is tiny with a play on the usual tapas, including sautéed beef with Indonesian peanut sauce, and Dutch cheese plates. Plenty of Belgian beers too.

    Quinua y Amaranto

    This sweet spot – run by ladies in the open-front kitchen – goes all vegetarian, with tasty quinoa-based lunches and empanadas, salads and coffee later on.

  3. Andrés Carne de Res

    Hang onto your hats. This legendary steakhouse blows everyone away – even repeat visitors – for its all-out-fun atmosphere with decent steaks and all sorts of surreal decor and designed gimmicks such as menus retracting from the rafters. For most, it’s more than a meal – but a leave-the-watch-at-home expanse of late-night rumba. Staff will get you on the floor if you resist joining in. The catch is that it’s out of town – in Chía, 23km north towards Zipaquirá. A taxi from Bogotá costs about COP$25,000 to COP$40,000.

    Enchiladas

    For great Mexican meals (veggie and meat), try this lovely spot with Mayan reliefs, a toasty fireplace and old Mexican film photos on the walls. The giant, tasty meat-filled platter of enchiladas and chilaquilas ‘General Lee’ is named for a gringo regular (not a US Civil War general; COP$22,000). Skip the tacos.

  5. 80 Sillas

    Usaquén’s busiest spot is all about putting a modern spin on traditional ceviche, set in a redone colonial farmhouse on the southwestern corner of the plaza. You can pick from a host of ceviche styles (such as ginger or a hearty criollo with bacon, potato, lemon and cheese). Yes, there are 80 seats.

  6. Harry’s

    The busiest of the dressed-up spots, Harry’s has a massive covered patio, sidewalk seats and slick bar area – popular for an afternoon beer or glass of wine, and more substantial Argentine steaks and seafood dishes later on. There’s a nice bakery too, offering salads, sandwiches and sweets.

  7. Anderson’s

    Run by a Nebraskan, this seven-table eatery – filled with bohos, judges and Congressmen – is a cozy wood-floor spot with an open kitchen and excellent dishes, like a stacked filet mignon atop hash browns and a super banana foster for dessert.

    Sanalejo

    A romantic candle-lit series of rooms in this orange-and-green home off Jiménez cooks up pastas, but is better for its meats (like the ‘Baby Beef’ – a chunky serve of steak with fries for COP$22,000). Best of all, it’s open for dinner.

    Asociación Futuro

    Splitting its breakfast trade evenly between locals and backpackers from nearby hostels, this cute corner pad churns out great set breakfasts and Colombian dishes later on. The community-run spot employs staff from a poor area.

  10. Cuba Pizza

    This cramped basement space is run by a born-again dough maker who credits ‘a lot of love’ for why her incredibly underpriced pizzas, topped with interesting ingredients such as octopus, are of the best in town.

  12. La Juguetería

    Freaky toy-house in Macarena that serves steaks. Glass-top tables feature xylophones and demonic dolls, while merry-go-round horses watch over from the walls. Hard to walk away unfazed.

    Café de la Peña Pastelería Francesa

    This simple French-run bakery, with local art adorning the walls of a couple seating areas, makes some of the nicest sweets and pan de chocolate around the center.

    A block from Zona Rosa’s main action, this happy corner spot has Zapata pics on the walls, colorful sundresses on the waitresses and yummy Mexican specialties on the plate.
