Let us take you through a list of food spots that we've personally chosen for their authenticity and quality.
We will cover a good range of food & snacks: from hots to colds, solids to drinks, sweet to salty, stores & street vendors, national and local, fried to baked, fruits to meats, and everything in between.
This is more than food. It's a cultural tour, using food as a vehicle to explore and experience local life.
STOP 1: Bakery
Good colombian bread. Pandebono, buñuelo, roscón. There are also options with guava sweet or milk caramel, coconut, cheese, sausage, and even coffee.
STOP 2: salty fried goods + juices
Empanada: fried corn crust, meat and potato inside. (good for celiacs)
Papa aborrajada: loaf of potato with a wheat flour crusting.
Papa rellena: mashed potato with rice, boiled egg and meat inside.
Marranita: sweet plantain with fried pork inside.
Aborrajado: sweet plantain with cheese inside (veggie).
Champús: drink with corn, pineapple, lulo, bitter orange leaves and cinnamon sticks.
Soft drinks, beer, water.
STOP 3: exotic flavours ice-cream shop.
The concept of a local chef, to highlight the uniqueness of our country. Ice-cream as you've never seen it. Have you ever had a scoop of hamburguer ice-cream? How about passion fruit with caramelised fried pork? We dare you to try it.
All tasting options are snacks, not big dishes. But don't be fooled, some are not small and I assure: you will be full by the end.
Vegans welcome. Vegetarians welcome. Gluten-free people are welcome. Meat-lovers welcome as well! There are options for everybody.
We will be walking and stopping at several food businesses and street vendors. We will guide you on what everything is and what each spot does best, and you'll let your eyes and mouth decide what you want to try.
“full belly, happy heart”.
