Until now.Īs Bogotá has increasingly become a melting pot of cultures from every part of Colombia, restaurants focusing on regional dishes and ingredients are opening with regularity. Yet regional Colombian fare from outside the capital has long been the city’s weak spot. There are Southern-style BBQ joints that look straight out of Brooklyn gastro pubs with cocktail gardens and a chain of crepe restaurants that has set up shop in nearly every neighborhood.

Certain districts of Bogotá, like the Zona G, seem to have more types of restaurants than they do people.
