Andrés D.C. & Andrés Carne De Res

Andrés Carne De Res is a juggernaut of a restaurant — a legendary steakhouse and bar that morphs into a nightclub on weekends. Colombians from all walks of life strive to get a table: students, the working-class, the wealthy and the famous. Andres charms with its eclectic decor, boisterous atmosphere and live music. The menu is a thick book filled with dozens of Colombian classics.

Dining

Colombia's most quintessential dish is Bandeja paisa — a full meal that carries the name of the Paisa Region. It comes in a wide variety of interpretations, but usually consists of two types of sausage, ground beef, rice and red beans, chicharrón (fried pork rind), an arepa, a plantain, a slice of avocado and a fried egg to top it all off. You are going to find these ingredients again and again in every traditional restaurant. As any modern metropolis, Bogotá offers upscale restaurants where celebrity chefs use avant-garde techniques and carefully selected ingredients. Some chefs apply their tremendous skills to celebrating their country's history and reviving indigenous food culture. Lastly, Asian food has conquered the hearts of Bogotanos. You'll find plenty of curries from all over the Asian continent, chewy noodles and delicate wontons.
