Papaya Gourmet

Bogotá


This bright and extra cozy hole-in-the-wall travel cafe dishes up burritos (COP$10,000 to COP$13,500) and tacos (COP$9500 to COP$12,500) as vehicles for soaking up featured local craft beer from three refrigerator taps. It's one of the only spots in town to get Cerveceria Gigante outside of its brewery; and top suds from Madriguera Brewing Co. are also usually tapped.

The first-rate Aussie-friendly service and two-for-one Happy Hour (4pm to 6pm) means hopheads can happily sip away in La Candelaria without having to schlep north or to Parkway. It also stocks Golden Lion Colombian cider, produced by the country’s only cidery. Bogota & Beyond and Bogotá Craft Beer Tour are also run from here.
