Mesa Franca

The farm-to-table philosophy, centered on local producers, offers an authentic take on Colombian cuisine at Mesa Franca, under the direction of the young and creative chef Iván Cadena. Located in an elegant, restored mansion featuring a modern red bar, this restaurant is a mainstay of the burgeoning dining scene in the trendy Chapinero neighborhood. Bistro-style dishes, designed for sharing, include pork belly with peanut purée and cured trout with fennel aioli. The drink menu stands out for its cocktails that incorporate local ingredients; try the Peaceful Mule, made with viche (fermented cane sugar), ginger, and soda.
