"This 200-year-old restaurant is located just a block away from La Plaza de Bolívar, Bogotá’s central public square, and is a beloved emblem of the capital’s cuisine. Tamales, almojábanas (cheese bread), and chocolate with cheese are essentials for either breakfast or onces, the Colombian equivalent of a morning snack or afternoon tea. If you stop by for lunch, try the ajiaco — the city’s signature soup — and one of the desserts from the vast spread." - Liliana López Sorzano
