Chef Leo Espinosa is the culinary priestess for innovative Colombian fine dining. Her epic 12-course tasting menu (COP$210,000) paired with wine and artisanal beverages (COP$280,000) is a belt-loosening, multihour journey through exotic regional ingredients, many of which are ignored by most Colombian kitchens. A meal here is revelatory, with bold colors and striking flavors unlike those of anything previously plated.

In 2018 Leo crept into the prestigious World's Best Restaurants list (sponsored by Restaurant magazine) at No 99, the only Colombian restaurant to do so.
