Fun And Eating

Medellín Eateries

Medellín has many varied places where you can turn your cravings loose, because no matter what you yearn for you can be sure you will find it.

Savoring the traditional cuisine of Antioquia is something you cannot miss when visiting Medellín. And, as special treat, you have to sit down to a Bandeja Paisa, number one exponent of local culinary endeavors with the honor of being one of the most asked for dishes, not only in Colombia but abroad. This gastronomical delight overflowing with beans, rice, and chicharron (pork rinds) will never taste as good though, as it does here, its home turf.

Likewise, traditional dishes from other regions of Colombia as well as international cuisine can be enjoyed at local restaurants. Fish and seafood are regular fare on local tables. The great variety of fish found in Colombian waters makes it possible for restaurants to offer a wide range of high quality fish fare rendering it difficult at times when ordering to make up one’s mind.

Bohemia, Partying, and Fun in Medellín

Medellín vibrates with its night life year-round, but it is with no doubt on weekends when public areas, discotheques, and night clubs offer a most varied alternative for fun, relaxation, and partying. Medellín has a well earned reputation of being a cheerful and lively city which is seen in the amount and quality of places people descend on to share dinner or a toast, engage in lively conversation, or go dancing. Favorite places for these activities are El Poblado, La 33, La 70, the tourist circuit through Las Palmas, and the nearby cities of Itagui, Envigado, and Sabaneta.

Unlimited, then, are the venues when time comes to have fun or enjoy a good dinner in Medellin. You have your choice of dozens of spots, where the only thing lacking will be time, to go partying or to satisfy a hearty appetite in a city eager to please you.
