Esto es Colombia

Bandeja Paisa

The full Colombian flagship: red beans, rice, chicharrón, chorizo, ground beef, fried egg, arepa, and avocado on one generous plate — a meal that earns its reputation

Ajiaco Bogotano

The classic Bogotá potato-and-chicken soup with three varieties of papa, guascas herb, and a side of cream and capers — restorative and deeply savoury

Empanadas Colombianas

Crispy fried corn pastries stuffed with seasoned beef and potato, served with ají dipping sauce — textbook rendition, excellent as a starter

Chicharrón

Thick-cut fried pork belly with a blistered, crackling rind — satisfyingly rich and a natural companion to the rice and beans

Patacones

Twice-fried green plantain discs — crispy, starchy, and ideal for loading up with hogao tomato sauce

Chorizo Colombiano

Plump, coarsely-ground pork sausage with a mild spice profile, served sliced with arepa — unpretentious and well-seasoned

Sancocho

Hearty Colombian stew with yuca, corn, potato, and your choice of protein in a rich, herb-forward broth — comfort food at its most direct
