  1. A

    Il Forno

    Set in the middle of the zona rosa (nightlife zone), this open-air Italian restaurant doesn’t do gimmicks or discounts, just good, solid food at a fair price. It serves pizza and sandwiches, lasagna and ravioli, and even steak. There’s a good range of salads for the herbivores. Desserts are a mere COP$6000. It may not be gourmet, but at this price, who cares?

    Los Toldos

    Elderly waiters wear traditional paísa costumes at this typical paísa place. Old-style Colombian folk music plays on the stereo. Go for the daily special, around COP$15,000, or indulge in a hearty bandeja paísa (platter). It prepares typical desserts like arequipe, breva and quesito (sample all three sweet and creamy treats for COP$5000). It’s a bit camp but the food is excellent.

    Bahía Mar

    This top notch seafood place offers mariscos in a Caribbean setting. Merengue plays on the stereo, and the signature dish is langostino Providencia (Providencia-style king prawns). The tables are laid out simply with blue tablecloths on top of white. They also do enormous shrimp cocktails and light platters of seafood crepes. A top choice for seafood in Medellín.

    Il Castello

    For authentic, top-quality Italian food, look no further than Il Castello. Try the fettucine trento (lobster served with a brandy and cream sauce), or the many pastas, raviolis and pizzas. It has an exceptional wine list; you’ll imbibe your drop of red in large balloon glasses. Tucked just off Calle 10, you’ll spot the place by the many expensive cars parked out front.

    Alex Carne de Res

    For a decent budget steak, Alex can’t be beat. The building is roofed in palm thatch and there’s salsa on the stereo. On Sunday it offers many typical regional platters. You’ll find it below the highway overpass near the El Poblado metro station, opposite CC Monterrey.

  8. Discovery

    Perched on the edge of the northern foothills in the Las Palmas district, Discovery has amazing views, and even better food. The specialty is seafood – try the cazuela de mariscos al coco (seafood stew with coconut, COP$35,000), or the parrilla mixta (mixed grill, COP$36,000). There’s live music on Friday and Saturday night.

    Carulla

    This supermarket is right next to CC Oviedo. It has a great salad bar (including fruit salad) with selections sold by weight. A good place to sample Colombia’s many wonderful tropical fruits. Sandwiches and hot food too.
