Cafe Renault
Pajares Salinas
This restaurant caters to the most exclusive social class of Bogota. A few years ago, they reshaped it and gave it a younger look as the older crowed started to desert it and the younger elite founded it boring. They seem to have made a great move, as today it's still very busy and the food is absolutely fabulous with a more lively ambiance. The terrace is great for lunch, and the mood is more relaxed in that section.
Address: Carrera 10 #96-08

Agave Azul
Modern Mexican in Bogota's trendy Macarena neighborhood. Your evening begins with a choice of delicious cocktails-- we recommend the jalapiña. At the same time, the bilingual head chef and owner will ask you about food preferences and allergies. She will explain that there is no menu at Agave Azul, and that you will be sent course after course until you tell her to stop (it's a hard decision, because you will want to know what comes next as your belly is bursting). Selections vary according what is fresh, available, and in season. The atmosphere is clean and cozy. Don't miss the special place. One of Bogota's best restaurants!
Address: Calle 26a #3-05, Bogota
Phone: 336-9314, 315-277-0329, 316-697-6751 (We recommend reservations, as the place is small)
