Colombia

Now there’s two big aspects to cover on this topic of Medellin. The nightlife and the food. I think both are pretty obvious when Colombia comes into the conversation, but I can attest that both are…like THAT!

If you know me, you know I am a Reggaeton addict so being in one of the top cities that consumes/produces my favorite music, we were already off to a good start. Perro negro was super fun and they play back to back bangers so if you’re looking for a night of straight perreo, definitely go here. Mosquitos roof top also had fire throwbacks.

Bandeja paisa, one of Colombia’s most notable plates (if not the most notable) was the dish that I was on the hunt for. I tried a whole bunch of them and the best one in my opinion is at El Viejo John in Sabaneta. You can tell it’s a spot for locals and the food is amazing. It’s perfect for a hangover meal after a long night of drinking Guaro. We also had a really great dinner at Heather bday place. Lastly, random lunch place was also very memorable. Their mondongo soup was exactly what I was craving and it hit the spot. 

La Chagra was a great experience. It’s an amazonian restaurant so the tasting menu provides a lot of interesting dishes, flavors, and presentations. El Botanico was also very very solid.
