Not that again! I enjoy my chilies but Colombian food is tasty. It is nice to hear about good places to eat in Bogotá.

Miguel, you remind me of the Spanish TV in the states always trying to shove it on my face. That’s why I do not like to watch Univision, Telemundo or the rest of tv stations.

Even though you do not watch any of them, you display the very same pattern or behavior. You think everyone on a website about Colombia should be subjected to the same propaganda.

Since i dont watch any of them, i have no clue as to what patterns or behavior you are referring here......but i do find this statement of yours interesting"

You think everyone on a website about Colombia should be subjected to the same propaganda.

care to elaborate on that? what propaganda am i subjecting people to here on PBH? mexican propaganda? dont think so, if that is what you are referring to....i will however, direct my attention to Mr Potatohead Too Far Right when he spouts his obvious hatred of Mexico since he has this obsession with the mexican illegals in the US. Just as i do the same with the other Potatohead members who trashtalk Colombia and its culture/people....so please clarify your comments.....

Restaurantes Por: Mery Cárdenas

Los juguetes: el ingrediente perfecto
Una nueva idea ofrece a sus clientes la posibilidad de divertirse mientras disfrutan de la cena.
La Juguetería hace que la hora de la cena sea realmente divertida. El restaurante ubicado, en La Macerena, ofrece a sus clientes un espacio rodeado de fantasía, colorido y muchos juguetes.
Muñecas en el techo, carritos en las paredes, una gallina gigante y personajes de cuentos infantiles son los ingredientes básicos de este mágico restaurante.
La juguetería acostumbra a hacer concursos entre sus clientes. A las 12 de la noche, el dueño del lugar obsequia una botella de licor a las personas que estén abiertas a la diversión. Tener un mismo número de la cédula o reunir 10 cinturones en el menor tiempo posible son algunas de las peticiones.
La recolección de los inusuales objetos decorativos se inició hace más de cinco años y en la actualidad es posible encontrar juguetes para todas las generaciones.
En éste establecimiento, no sólo el ambiente es alusivo al mundo de los juguetes. Los nombres de los platos también se salen de lo común. A los champiñones al ajillo, los dueños de la Juguetería prefieren llamarlos "duendecillos", al Salmón "Pirata Morgan", a las alitas de pollo ‘pollitos en fuga' y ‘Barba Roja' a las costillitas de cerdo.

La Juguetería
Calle 27 No. 4A-03
Teléfono: 3411188
Los platos entre $15.000 y $20.000

let's hear it for mona and miguel. who's on the defensive? or more specifically, why? or did i get the gist of all that wrong?

food--for me--in bogota, is like everything else in bogota. not to my likeing. now out in antioquia. it took me a long time to get used to comida tipica, little if any salt, and never, i mean never, pepper. but, after some beatings from my wife and suegra, i got used to it and now, i almost never use pepper and only a little salt. as for the food. it must be fantastic--not my opinion--rather an opinion of the masses. how many unhealthy paisas do you see? their the healthiest folks, en masse, i've seen in my travels around the world.

The food in Bogota is not generally to my taste - although I will make an exception for empanadas. This is not meant as an insult, nor as a "Colombian food is shit!" blanket generalisation. I just don't like it. I don't see the point in arepas, yuka seems like a poor man's potato, and the meat is generally dry and tough. Oh, and I have never liked rice.

That said, I had the best steak ever in Cartagena.

As you travel from city to city in Colombia, you will discover a world of flavors. In the north of Colombia you will encounter color, pepper and spices.
In Medellin, you’ll find another realm of dishes, from the popular Modongo soup to arepas de choclo. In Bogotá, well, do not take my word for it, just visit the restaurants above because they are highly recommended by a good friend of mine who visits these restaurants on a regular basis.

how come they never use the oven for preparing food? everything is always fried. and what is with all the salt and sugar?

and why are the steaks always about a quarter inch thick (and fried) and taste like shoe leather?

I do like the way they cook beans.

Colombia does not seem big on ovens - I myself have a pathetic one in my apartment, it is really a glorified toaster.

Of course they use ovens to prepare food, certain food are indeed prepared in ovens.
"and why are the steaks always about a quarter inch thick (and fried) and taste like shoe leather?" That's a matter of personal taste. If you stop eating shoe leather, the beef would taste quite different.

If you cannot find a fine steak house in Bogotá, try carne mamona.
