Leo Restaurant in Bogotá

Leo, located in Bogotá, is a fine dining spot that offers experimental Colombian cuisine. The interior design is top-notch, with beautiful ceramic plates sourced from different regions of Colombia. The ambiance is trendy and modern, but the service is inconsistent. The menu features dishes made with traditional ingredients, but techniques come from around the globe. The drinks are interesting and include fermented cocktails and juices made from botanical ingredients typical to the country. Some standout dishes include the vegetarian menu de 8 momentos, which is creative and perfect for exploring the diversity of Colombian cuisine. The duck is also a must-try and is cooked to perfection. The salted caramel dessert made from the gelatin of a cow's hoof is wonderfully sweet and salty but with a beef undertone. The prices are relatively high compared to its peer group, which may not justify the quality of the food and drinks. The establishment is not very welcoming as they make you wait outside before opening, even though it rains a lot in Bogotá. Overall, Leo is a restaurant that offers an unforgettable dining experience, but it may not be worth the price. It is important to note that the chef, Leonor Espinosa, is one of the best chefs in Colombia and her passion and knowledge for Colombian cuisine are reflected in every dish.
