    Very very good food! Muy rico! I am very familiar with Colombian food and found the taste in this restaurant very good! And very similar to what one would find in Colombia! Good and generous portions, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The one sad thing was that when I was there there were no fresh juices. That would have been the best ever. Still, I would recommend it and would come back. Very happy I went there.

    (Translated by Google) Very good food faithful to Colombian cuisine (dixit the Colombian friend with whom I had lunch). In any case, it's very good! The reception is super nice. If I do not put 5, it's because of the price that seems a little high. (Original) Très bonne cuisine fidèle à la cuisine colombienne (dixit l'amie colombienne avec qui j'ai déjeuné). En tout cas, c'est très bon ! L'accueil est hyper sympa. Si je ne mets pas 5, c'est en raison du prix qui me paraît un peu élevé.

    The ceviche was terrible, it was overcooked, hard to chew and placed in a soup of vinegar but I must say the bandejas were good (it lacked avocado when it was served) . The tres leches were amazing!

    Food was great, nice empanadas. Great service. Nice colombian restaurant where you can enjoy nice ambience and food. Served by colombians, food quality was fine. We had empanadas, pollo caribeño, chuleta apanada... all very tasty. Approved by my French husband as well. Nice deco as well and cool terrace. I will go back.

  • 3/5 Anne M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We booked through the fork for 12 people at El Cafetero, where we had already eaten. The food is very good. But the boss canceled our reservation on the application in the middle of our meal, without warning us, so that we do not benefit from -20%. Pity ! This lack of honesty does not make me want to go back. (Original) Nous avions réservé via la fourchette pour 12 personnes à El Cafetero, où nous avions déjà mangé. La cuisine est très bonne. Mais le patron a annulé notre reservation sur l'application en plein milieu de notre repas, sans nous prévenir, afin que nous ne bénéficions pas des -20%. Dommage ! Ce manque d'honnêteté ne me donne pas envie d'y retourner.

    (Translated by Google) A very good address. South American atmosphere with pleasant background music which does not prevent you from speaking normally. A choice of typical recipes and good wines, from Chile in particular. The welcome is pleasant, the service is efficient. Everything was really very good. I think it is better to book. In short, I recommend without reservations. (Original) Une très bonne adresse. Ambiance Amérique du Sud avec une agréable musique de fond qui n'empêche pas de parler normalement.

Bref, je recommande sans réserves.

    (Translated by Google) Very disapointed ! We had reserved a table on "the fork" in order to have a 40% discount on the bill as indicated at check-in, once arrived and installed we are told that the discount is valid for the first 10 reservations! ! No commercial gesture was offered to us despite our insistence. We had made the trip and so we left! Bad experience ! (Original) Très déçue ! Nous avions réservé une table sur « la fourchette » afin d’avoir une remise de -40% sur l’addition comme indiqué à l’enregistrement, une fois arrivée et installée on nous annonce que la remise est valable pour les 10 premières réservations!! Aucun geste commercial ne nous a été proposé malgré notre insistance. Nous avions fait le déplacement et nous sommes donc partis! Mauvaise expérience !

    (Translated by Google) This post does not judge the quality of the products, nor the service but quite simply the fact that the restaurant tickets are not accepted in the evening according to the new decree. Too bad !! (Original) Ce post ne juge pas la qualité des produits, ni le service mais tout simplement le fait que les tickets restaurants ne soient pas accepter le soir selon le nouveau décret. C'est dommage !!
