Medellín
This top floor bistro is all neon lights and frosted glass, with a soundtrack that's about a decade behind its now image and an ambitious menu that often hits the mark. The good? Minifritos tradicionales with a superb picante sauce, beautifully cooked fish, homemade maracuya sodas and the panoramic city views. Pasta dishes are somewhat less exciting.
It's a great spot for cocktails early in the evening.
