Hi guys

A friend told me to hit this area La Macarena to eat. any one had any experience there with a good fun resto? Has anyone tried Tapas Macarena?

On another note, anyone been to the Police museum is it worth it?

thanks to you all!

funny, yes the macarena has lots of good restaurants, one excellent place is Argentinian, excellent beef and a really cool atmosphere, it's opposite the bar / restaurant with all the toy dolls stuck around the exterior. On the other side of the crossroads, diagonally opposite!

what you believe is not important, it's what you do that counts

there is a street that goes up into the macarena behind the national museum,Cll. 29, it has a host of very very good restaurantes, here my tips:

La Esquina ( excellent ceviches, went 3 times in 4 weeks)
Carrera 4 A No. 26 A - 04
2838685

Los Cauchos( this was an amazing meal, the owners are a husband and wife team and are a delight, they strongly believe in featuring all local ingredients in their amazing dishes, probably the first in bogota to do "slow-food")
Cll. 26 # 3a - 20
2434059

Tábula ( went there for lunch, had a fantastic culinary experience, very very good stuff and swanky yet casual... would give any top nyc place a run for it's money.. they also have a great bar in the same local)
Cll. 29 Bis # 5 - 90
2877228
2858875
2454482

Donostia ( was recommended to me often)
Cll. 29 Bis # 5 - 84
2873943

y buen provecho!
