"Rank: #6 "Boragó deals in ‘territory rather than technique’, according to chef-owner Rodolfo Guzmán. He and his energetic team source native Chilean products used by the Mapuche indigenous people to create Endémica, a menu starring diverse preparations that can change during the course of an evening according to produce supply, paired with natural and biodynamic wine or juices. Guzmán’s environmentally minded ethos earned Boragó the inaugural Sustainable Restaurant Award in Latin America in 2018."

"Rank: #7 "Alvaro Clavijo may seem to have suddenly appeared on the Bogotá dining scene, but he has a strong background working in some of the best restaurants in the world. After studying at hospitality school in Barcelona, he spent several years in Paris, working at Le Bristol and L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon before moving to New York to cook at Per Se and Atera, then Noma in Copenhagen. He returned to Colombia in 2013, opening El Chato in Quinta Camacho neighbourhood in 2015 and later moving it to its current location in Chapinero Alto."

"Rank: #25 "An eclectic menu that blends Latin American, Asian and European flavours. About to celebrate in 25th anniversary in 2021, it remains one of the country's must-visit dining destinations and even won the Highest Climber Award in 2017."

"Rank: #27 "Celebrity chef Leonor Espinosa’s flagship restaurant showcases little-known Colombian ingredients such as corozo fruit (a tangy red berry), arrechón (an aphrodisiac drink) and bijao (a banana-like plant), while championing local communities and gastronomic traditions. Since opening Leo she has had a great influence on Colombian cuisine and indeed other cooks, winning the title of Latin America’s Best Female Chef in 2017 and being voted by her peers as the Estrella Damm Chefs’ Choice in 2020."

"Rank: #32 "Secluded in an upscale house in the bustling Vitacura district of Santiago, De Patio is the creative outlet of chef Benjamín Nast, who is on a mission to break rules and surprise diners with his combination of innovative cooking techniques, high-quality produce and striking presentation."

"Rank: #41 "There is no other dining experience in Santiago quite like 040, which applies a high level of technical skill to Chile’s rich and varied native ingredients. Its well-hidden location on the lower level of the fashionable Tinto Boutique Hotel in bohemian Bellavista neighbourhood adds to the intrigue of this 40-seat restaurant."

"Rank: #46 "For a locavore experience that combines French flair with Chilean produce. It’s a masterclass of clean-yet-homely flavours fused together in impeccable fashion."

"Rank: #49 "Chefs Jaime Rodríguez and Sebastián Pinzón spent years exploring the Caribbean coast of Colombia to perfect their proposition before opening, meeting indigenous people and discovering flavours and ingredients they had no idea existed. They researched techniques and documented recipes that were in danger of being lost in a bid to capture the authentic identity of the region – the research initiative was dubbed Proyecto Caribe Lab."
