Oficial

For one of the best gastronomic experiences you will get in Bogata, this is the one to try. Classy but not pretentious, wonderfully atmospheric and relaxing, from the freshly cooked bread through to the sensational taco starters, the out-of-this-world main courses and the eclectic desserts, it was perfection on a plate. This humble reviewer’s highlight was the Lomo Saltado, so good he had a segundo. The running egg, with modest side of rice and medium cooked meat nestled in a bed of evenly portioned peppers, onions and other vegetables accompanied by some potato fries. This is how a lomo saltado should be. The service was perfectly timed, the venue is charming, the pricing was fair and the food is faultless. You wouldn’t expect anything less from a restaurant owned and strongly influenced by Rafael Osterling. Thanks you chef Segundo and our very astute and knowledgeable waiter Camilo for adding to our overall culinary adventure. Wow, wow, wow!!!

An absolutely delightful experience... 10 out of 5. Food was scrumptious... The ceviche was fresh, The pulpo was tasty but a little bit overcooked, The arroz navegante was the best main dish and the Lomo saltado was good. Cocktails were also refreshing , fruity and tasteful. I'd be back to try as many dishes as possible ... Service was good , fast, professional and attentive.

Great food and service. Ceviche was delicious. Consider making a reservation for Friday nights as it get busy.

Lovely restaurant!!! We absolutely loved the shrimp burgers, OMG, those were so good we ordered a second plate of those, as they're small. Their Italian sodas are very good as well. We also tried the causa and rices. Service was really good although the food was slow to arrive as they were catering another table of 20+ people. The atmosphere here is very nice, beautiful setting and great location.

Really enjoyed my meal at Oficial - the Peruvian dishes were really good. Tried the lomo saltado and an appetizer / the tequila drinks were great as well. Very nice atmosphere and ambiance with good views from our table.

Just an awesome Peruvian restaurant in Bogota! Off the menu we had the pulpo, the tiradito, the langoustine hamburger and the pesca del dia rostizada. Each one of these meals was close to perfect. For dessert, we then had the Suspiro Limeño and the "El Tumbao", both of which were also extraordinarily good. We also had both a glass of white and red off the very interesting wine list, both of which were very tasty. The staff could also not be better, and the restaurant is in an amazing space overlooking a beautiful street tree. It is a definite 'must do' in Bogota.

Oficial is a beautifully decorated restaurant with good food and a decent selection of wines. The service was inconsistent - our waiter did a nice job with recommendations and was very friendly, but the time between finishing appetizers and receiving our main dishes took around 45 minutes. The coordination with the kitchen to time out the meal was a complete fail. Don’t order wine by the glass, they will pour half a glass - you can see the glass of wine in my attached photo, this is what they consider a full pour.

Service is excellent. The food is very good. We had several appetizers: grilled octopus was a little rubbery but had good taste, chicharon mixto (mixed seafood) was excellent. However, the taste of the sea bass was a bit strong, the shrimp burgers were superb, and the pork burgers were a pleasant surprise with the plantation taste.
