    I just love everything about this place. The interior, the vibe, the staff, and even the history of this place. To top it off, food is delicious! Although we had to wait quite some time for the food, it was definitely well worth the wait! This place definitely deserves more people in it!

    We had a very good lunch. If you sit outside you can see the beautiful landscape. Yet, the place is a bit more expensive but the food is worth it. The salmon was great and we also had the mushrooms. The coco lemonade was one of the best and their coffee was of premium quality as well as home made ice cream,

    Lovely place, great coffee and extremely nice staff. I believe it's one of the best in salento and if you want some good coffee and eats this is a place to go. The deco is also super interesting and unique!

    Very friendly service, good coffee... the rest was rather in need of improvement. The lemonade was mixed poorly leaving big ice pieces... All, but all dishes are decorated with oregano... The burger was small and dry, the potatos fridge cold. The filet mignon was good but not evenly prepared. We were disappointed, especially due to the high reputation of this restaurant. I've heared about the bad employment conditions of the kitchen staff and therefore cannot really recommend this restaurant. Maybe things will change in the future for good.

    Top-notch restaurant, impeccable service, cozy vibe and great atmosphere. Lovely balcony to face crowded street that captures so well the Colombian beautiful spirit. Food was exquisite! Bonus points they have artisanal beer that they make themselves. IPA was inspired choice! Very good cocktails too! Couldn’t recommend this enough!

    I had the canaan bowl with chicken. It was alright. The service was slow. My problem however is that the so-called "CEO" of the restaurant cannot identify the origins of the dishes on his menu. I asked him where he thought baba ganoush was from and he said “it’s not from anywhere” but it's Colombian because it’s "made with Colombian ingredients.” Let’s be clear: baba ganoush is from the Levant region. This includes Palestine, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. If you’re going to put something on the menu from another culture, at least be able to say that it’s from there, instead of misappropriating. Also, Canaan literally refers to the land that the Levant people descend from. Additionally, one of the coffees offered is "ibrik" which translates into "pot" in Arabic and this way of drinking coffee originated in Yemen and it's how Arabs, Turks, Armenians, Bosnaks, drink their coffee. Fusion menu is fine, but disrespecting other cultures by calling their food your own is NOT okay. Edit: modifying my review to 1 star due to the owner’s stupid response. My review said nothing about any conflict. I was simply stating that the owner was culturally misappropriating the food by saying that baba ganoush is “not from anywhere” (which is obviously, false). But since he decided to bring politics into the picture, then let me correct him by saying that there is no “war” happening, only a genocide, and no “peace” is possible when one side is mercilessly slaughtering the other. If you’re going to cook Palestinian/Levant food, don’t strip it from its cultural identity, especially at a time when Palestinians (& Lebanese) are currently being murdered. Have some respect.

    this place SLAPS ! super simple and cheap and YUM

  • 5/5 Graham B. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a shame that this place is so unassuming, because the food and coffee are superb. Your venture through the narrow door and up the stairs is rewarded with a stylish and inviting cafe/restaurant with balconies overlooking Calle Real. There's a beautiful garden with panoramic view out the back. The ribs were a masterpiece: nicely smoked and served with homemade barbecue sauce, grilled pineapple and arepas. The menu could be characterized as local classics with an inventive twist. The kitchen considers tourists well: purified water is used for the ice and washing the side salads, so we could enjoy both without issues afterwards. You have a huge choice of coffee - your preference of V60, Chemex, Aeropress, espresso, etc. Their house variety has a nice orange flavour note. This is just about the only restaurant in Salento where the waiter was comfortable speaking some English. He was very friendly and attentive.

  • 4/5 Juan Diego S. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall it was good, recommendation just go for coffee. Food was good but not the best and service was bad (slow and non-attentive). But coffee was great, they know a lot about it and a lot of options for the preparation.

  • 5/5 Leslie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Creative and delicious food and super attentive and friendly service. Pork dish with maracuya and coffee and lomo saltado were both really good!

  • 2/5 Gaya K. 1 year ago on Google
    Was soooo overrated! We came for good reviews and had a negative experience. We waited for the dishes for 45 minutes when the restaurant was pretty empty. We were served the food only after the closing time! And it was pretty average AND EXPENSIVE! The service was so slow and not much attention to the client. Unfortunately I don’t recommend:(

  • 3/5 Vesna C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place and tasty food, had Buddha bowls and they were delicious. However, we arrived at 8:30pm, and they close at 9pm. When asked if it's still ok to order the waiter said no problem. We ended up waiting for a FULL HOUR for our (simple) order. That just shouldn't happen hence the 3 stars.

  • 5/5 Nick I. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice food and atmosphere but one of the more expensive places in Salento. The Filet Mignon was delicious.

  • 5/5 Sebastian 2 years ago on Google
    The servers are friendly & knowledgeable and the food is amazing. The filet with coffee red wine blackberry reduction is amazing. The chocolate cake is amazing and i dont normally enjoy cake. I've eaten at places many times the price with way less quality. Highly recommend.

    My favorite food I’ve had in Colombia! Highly recommend the traditional lomos salteado criollo—so delicious, and the homemade picante was such a perfect addition. Sitting on the balcony is also just a great place to people watch in Salento :)

👍 We had the patacon con todo, the trucha (comes with a huge patacon) and we had the pollo apanado (not seen). The patacon con todo was excellent. You would think the flavors won't mesh but they do. FYI, the tomato sauce does NOT have cilantro (phew!). The touchable had lots of bones, the flavor was...
