Fodor's Expert Review El Chato

Fodor's Choice
Chefs José Barbosa and Álvaro Clavijo are the driving forces behind one of Bogotá's standout restaurants that seamlessly blends Colombian products and creole flavors with avant-garde techniques. You may be welcomed with chicharron---the much-loved thick-cut fried bacon that's served with dehydrated cilantro, candied lime, and charcoaled chili---which sets the tone for a menu that features both meat-based and vegetarian dishes. Be sure to save space for the delicate and masterfully presented desserts. The space is comfortably cool, with plenty of exposed brick and greenery creating a decor that's balanced between retro and modern.
