Chef Jhon Zárate runs a weekly-rotating menu at this quiet El Poblado bistro, where hyperlocal sourcing and seasonal shifts dictate what lands on the plate. Expect COP 80,000–120,000 per person for ingredient-driven cooking in a calm, neighborhood atmosphere better suited to dates and small celebrations than large groups.
