The Best Upscale Restaurants in Medellín
Although fine dining may not be a top priority when planning a trip to Colombia, here are four restaurants that might be a bit tough on the wallet but definitely worth a try.
El Avila
One of few places in this fast-growing city to use authentic Mediterranean ingredients (as opposed to Colombian equivalents), this exclusive fine-dining experience is said to be one of the very best. The Galantine Au Lapin (rabbit) is a must have, and the wide selection of wines and cocktails (we recommend the Mojitos) rounds out the experience. This is a fun and convenient option when staying in a short-term rental in Medellín.
La Provincia
This chic, minimalist restaurant is the go-to hot spot for special occasion dining in Medellín. Although the city is landlocked, favorite dishes include the coconut crab soup, which can be enjoyed outside in the garden. Hardwood floors and white ceilings add a refined atmosphere to a romantic outing for two, a business lunch, or simply entertaining friends.
Bijao
Visited by the likes of Anthony Bourdain, Bijao offers traditional latin cuisine with many twists. Options like fried potato stuffed with braised lamb and a kiwi salsa and limoncello pork ribs with hummus coupled with a wood-heavy modern design, make this spot a must go.
Herbario features a classic latin cuisine, with the backbone of their menu being the herbs and spices native to Colombia used to intensify these otherwise typical dishes.
