This is one of the best restaurants in town. Peruvian Japanese food. It’s on the expensive side but totally worth it. Favorites are truffled scallops and foi gras sashimi. Just let the waiter guide yourself.

For foodies, this is a must have experience in Bogota. The chef Leonor Espinosa has created a tasting menu that is based on authentic Colombian native ingredients. The pairing has local drinks as well. Expensive but worth it.
