–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I don’t want to sound like a disgusting pig (Hey! I”m just big stomach-boned), but I’ve a confession to make. I’m kind of in love with Colombian burgers. I don’t know what’s happened – I’ve never eaten so many burgers anywhere else. It seems like not a week goes […]
Tag: Best of Colombian Food
Just like Flava Flav – well, back when he had credibility, anyway – I’ve often found myself disappointed by things that have received a lot of hype (Avatar, anyone? I mean, the special effects were good: just imagine if they’d hired a writer, too!). That gave me quite a cause for concern when I finally […]
Travel to Cartagena and you’ll find it’s one of the best places to eat in Colombia. It goes without saying that the seafood is particularly delicious, but many people also come back raving about the variety of dishes, and unique and creative way that Costeños cook. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Of course, it’s not […]
At the risk of offending people on both sides of this discussion, Colombian food and British food aren’t internationally known for their experimental or sophisticated nature. That said, people in both countries are extremely fond of their national cuisine, and will stop at nothing to defend it. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– That’s not where […]
I was browsing Facebook last night, as you do, when I stumbled upon this rather comical video featuring the lovely Sofia Vergara and the rather less-than-lovely Gordon Ramsey: –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– It was interesting for two reasons.

But if you are a vego and want a daily dose of greens while you live in or travel Colombia, then here are some delicious places you should visit. –> Colombia Dolar […]
Finally it has happened. After years of searching and countless disappointments, I’ve found the holy grail of curry in Bogotà: The Little Indian Superstar. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– While Dhaba, found near the centre of the city, offers pretty authentic tasting curries, its location and set-up (it’s basically in someone’s garage) make it less-than-ideal […]
If you are an avid reader of our Colombia Travel Blog, you may know that a few of us aren’t particularly fond of arepas – read the whole sordid tale for yourself here in the Great Arepa Debate. And although I’d admit to liking a regular old paisa arepa once in a while, I’d find […]
Before I begin, I’d just like to make it clear that cheese is great (get it, haw haw haw?). Not only do I get baffled when I try to work out how somebody in the dim, distant, depressing days before the birth of Baby Cheeses finally worked out the complicated process necessary to produce this […]
Para la version de JL en Castellano entrar aqui: Andres Carne de Res, mas de lo que ves. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Everyone knows that Andres Carne de Res is the place to go to party while you’re in Bogota. You hire a shuttle bus to Chia, spend the night eating and dancing and then […]
