Cali restaurants

Hi all.
Long time no post. My sister-in-law is getting married in Cali. Been a year since we've been back and need to know a nice place for about 30-50 people. Have done the family party at Cali Veijo already so looking for something new. Would be an afternoon ceremony with lunch. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

It's not him, Greg would have been asking which is the best street food cart with chuzos for under mil pesos.

Agree, I think this is a genuine request, not GY.

Where are the Colombian restaurants in Cali? Cali has the Best cooking in Colombia but I do not see a single 100% Colombian restaurant in your list.
Call me next time for a restaurant tours or call Anthony Bourdain for the american style tour.
I do not want to sound too biased but I have heard that Popayan has also a Yum, Yum, Yum touch!

Brians, you are not invited. we don't need any guys from medellin screwing up cali. stick to what you know best...if you can figure out what that is.

brad216 says on Nov 9, 2009, 17:38:

thanks for the restaurants to those who actually replied. margaritas thanks for the list....i'll be down from xmas to middle of january so i'll make sure to try some of them....especially the thai-colom fusion. that one sounds great.

i also agree with monpirri...cali supplies some of the best cooks around but it's hard to find traditional colombian outside of cali veijo. guess if people are going to spend money going out, they want to try something different.

i think we're going to end up with a finca and catering at this point.

next post will have to be where to go for the bachelor party lol.

Is Ringlete still in business? It does modern takes on traditional Valluno cuisine in an old refurbed house in Granada.

www.calirentals.net, now we are talking real Colombian food.
Patio Valluno sounds like a real good restaurant to go and enjoy the valluno food.

monpirri... I had The Best Ceviche Ever in the World!
about three weeks ago in Restaurante San Ysidro, Monserrate de Bogota.
Arthur Brode would have been jealous.

Hey Art, how've you been ??

GS, for real? shrimp or fish?
I thought Monserrate was close to the public, at least that's what they told me when I was in Bogota.

Colombia inspiración culinaria
CULTURASemana.com visitó dos restaurantes que a partir de ingredientes nativos entregan nuevas propuestas gastronómicas que exaltan la riqueza de nuestro país. Amplíe el tema programándose, del 12 al 16 de noviembre, con la Feria de Gastronomía 2009.
Jueves 5 Noviembre 2009


Según el diccionario de la Real Academia Española, gastronomía es el arte de preparar una buena comida, pero, ¿qué es una buena comida?, ¿qué ingredientes debe llevar una plato exquisito?, ¿cuál es el secreto de la buena mesa?. Este y miles de interrogantes más se responderán durante la Feria de Gastronomía 2009, en Bogotá.

El evento que ira del 12 al 16 de noviembre en Corferias, contará con cuatro pabellones temáticos, en el primero se cocinarán los mejores platos fuertes de la cocina internacional, en el segundo, los más exquisitos platos típicos colombianos; en el tercero, se prepararán los mejores postres, cafés y quesos; y en el último pabellón sus asistentes disfrutarán de los mejores aperitivos.

Gastronomía 2009 contará con una completa agenda académica como shows en Cocinas Taller con Chefs invitados y la realización del segundo Concurso Nacional de Quesos, Catas de Vinos y Licores. Conozca la agenda completa de Gastronomía 2009 en www.feriagastronomia.com

Semana.com interesado en conocer nuevas propuestas gastronómicas visitó dos restaurantes que con ingredientes colombianos preparan novedosos platos y entregan a sus públicos exquisitas propuestas que rescatan la amplia gama de sabores que ofrece Colombia.
