Carrera 12a no. 83-48
Zona T
Zona Rosa

Real name simply ‘The Pub’, this place is an institution. Even when the T is otherwise deserted, the terrace of the Irish Pub is usually packed. Popular amongst ex-pats, visiting business people and the richer of Bogotá, the place is also frequented by those who will spend a day’s income on a couple of beers. BBC (Bogotá Beer Company) beer is sold

(1) 3420831/3366408 (landline)

To call a landline from a mobile/cell in Colombia prefix the landline number with 03 followed by the region code. For Bogotá prefix with 031

Great pizza at 2,900 COP per slice, and, in true Colombian Economics style, buying a whole pizza costs more than buying the equivalent in individual slices. Cannelloni, spaghetti, lasagne and various starters, salads and stuff are also available, as is home delivery

Mona Pizza also has branches at:

Candelaria – Carrera 4 No. 12-19 Tel: 2821665/3427737 Cel: 312 449 3977

and

Calle 7 No. 13-42
La Candelaria
Empanadas 1,300 COP

My favourite empanada shop based on the fact that they have mentally hot chilli sauces including guacamole ‘pa’ machos’ (for machos). The cheese empanadas, which are close to my heart and possibly heart attack in the future, are the best I’ve found in town. Also sells sandwiches, tacos, burritos etc.

Snack food
Carrera 2 No.10-something
Opposite University de La Salle
Empanadas from COP 1,100

One of my favourite empanada shops in La Candelaria, mostly because of the salsa. You’ll always find 3 hot sauces on offer and if you’re lucky a giant bowl of guacamole!
