My wife's and my local wine bar. It's almost as cool as Atlas — maybe just as cool — but slightly more casual. On Saturdays they have a DJ, and the vibes are always on point. It's in front of the park, a great place to catch the last of the sunlight and the start of the evening in Chapinero Alto, and the service is really friendly. The food is just okay, but the drinks are great.
Salvo PatriaEat20 mSalvo Patria holds a special place in my heart as one of the reasons I moved to Colombia — I first tried it in 2016. The menu blends inventiveness with a warmth and comfort you don't typically find in Colombian high-end restaurants. Always get the agnolotti.
Sur VermuteríaArgentine bar — negronis & choripán30 mAn Argentine spot with a variety of negronis, choripanes and other Argentine delicacies. Good vibes, good music, a local hangout — nothing fancy.
Pizza BarViPizza & vinyl DJs70 mTasty pizza, but it's more about the vibe: there's usually a vinyl DJ playing while you eat. A great spot for a date, or a one-on-one catch-up with a friend.
FloraItalian-inspired pasta90 mA stunning restaurant that would fit in well in London or New York. The menu is relatively simple, but everything is exquisitely well done. Not Colombian at all, and not traditional Italian — just a delicious Italian-inspired pasta restaurant.
HAB HotelStay90 mFor the younger crowd — 20- and 30-somethings who want to have fun, eat well and maybe go out in Chapinero.
