De Una Travel Bar

Bogotá


With a menu written on a suitcase hung on the door and well-thumbed travel books scattered within, it's no surprise that this cafe is a travelers' favorite. The diminutive space has an open prep area that rustles up a pleasant sampling of South American food, supported by cold beer, fine cocktails and outstanding service.

The lomo saltado (steak stir-fry), pisco sours and ceviche will have Andean veterans pining for Peru, though you'll quickly be snapped back to Colombian reality with BBC beer, empanadas and homemade tres leches cake. There’s an abundance of vegetarian options, too.
