My favourite coffee shop in Bogotá, voted No. 1 in South America's 100 Best Coffee Shops 2025 — and ninth in the world. It's a coffee shop for the mainstream rather than for real coffee nerds, but that doesn't take away from the fact that they have an incredible coffee program: you can consistently get some of the best coffee in Colombia here, and enjoy delicious food, in one of their two beautiful locations — where you can work, meet, or read a book.
Wu Dumplings & BeerDumplings60 mA hole in the wall, and nothing fancy, but delicious dumplings — and a great change of pace from some of the other spots I recommend.
SauvageFrench-Colombian kitchen160 mA creative kitchen in Quinta Camacho with French-Colombian influences. It's not as fancy as some of the other high-end spots — a good place for a casual creative dinner rather than a fancy creative dinner.
NADABookshop & local art170 mThe edgier, more progressive side of Colombia, with a lot of local books and art. A great place to peruse and get a sense of Bogotá's more creative subcultures — and a good place to shop for a gift.
SigaWine, cocktails & food180 mA quintessential Quinta Camacho spot for wine, cocktails and food — although I typically go there more to drink than to eat.
Four Seasons Casa MedinaStay300 mReasonably priced compared to Four Seasons elsewhere in the world, so it's more accessible — and it is a stunning building. It's what I'd recommend for anybody looking for real comfort in Bogotá, which isn't necessarily a comfortable city.
