You'll be hard-pressed to find a more creative Colombian menu than at this excellent Chapinero Alto hot spot, which has resurrected some of the country's more interesting regional ingredients – sustainably sourced and fiercely artisan – and breathed new life into contemporary Colombian cuisine. The menu is an intriguing triumvirate of Caribbean, Altiplano and jungle-sourced food.
Count on beef braised with tucupí (a spicy, adobo-like sauce derived from poisonous yuca root, enhanced with chilies and ants); chicken sautéed with chicha (fermented corn hooch) and raw sugar glaze; and wild mushrooms with coastal cheese and nasturtium pesto – it's all outstanding and totally without precedent. Save room for the delectably moist cornbread cake with guava sauce.
