    I went today to La Candelaria and I highly recommend this place. Service was beautiful, food was really tasty, very good amount of food, and the price is very reasonable. I ordered a Corrientazo, which came with soup as started, main Gad beens, rice, salad, steak and plátano, and additionally, it also came with juice. Everything for 25$ You can’t miss out this place if thinking on having Colombian food.

    Love the idea of this place and it seems authentically Colombian but was a little let down by the food. Went for the Calentado breakfast - rice and beans were okay but tasted a little dry. Chorizo wasn’t as juicy or spicy as you would’ve hoped - perhaps a bit over cooked. There’s a lot of options in Brunswick East for a good breky/brunch and unfortunately this wouldn’t be at the top of my list.

    Great place for brunch/lunch! Generous portions and super fresh food! The Salento coffee beans they use are also a wonderful blend of Colombian coffee and other amazing beans from around the world! Lovely staff and great service. Would highly recommend!

    Amazing food! Great authentic Colombian cuisine. They have both a brunch and lunch menu. The brunch beats your regular eggs and toast brunch! The staff and service is also great.

    One of the most delicious and well presented Colombian dish I had in Melbourne. Very nice atmosphere excellent coffee quality and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

    Not a very good experience. First the waitress was very distracted while serving. Second, the order was delayed for more than 1 hour, and eventually it did not arrive and I had to cancel it. They didn't apologize or anything for the inconvenience. They served other tables that arrived after me and the order arrived quickly. I wouldn't go back to this place, especially because of the service.

    My partner and I were looking for a place to have lunch nearby, and we had Colombian food cravings. We hadn't tried this restaurant in particular, so we decided to give it a shot. Upon arrival we were met with a big smile and shown were we could sit as well explained us the specials of the day. We order a Bandeja Paisa and a Carne en Bistec. The portions were very generous (which explained the price) and super tasty with a great familiarity to the real thing. We also tasted the coffee and it was amazing! We loved our experience and will definitely come back.

    So excited to have a Latin restaurant in the area. I haven’t dined in yet but if the empanadas are anything to go by, it’s gonna be good.
