Hello and welcome!
I come from a long line of cooking (and eating) fanatics and I’m no different. As a result of this food-centric upbringing I decided to attend culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu in London, then received a degree in Restaurant Business, and finally a Masters in Gastronomy from the University of Adelaide, Australia.
Right now my job(s) don’t really have anything to do with food so this blog gives me an opportunity to remain food-centric and keep my priorities straight.
So, Bogotá Eats & Drinks is basically a blog about food in general but, because I am currently living in Bogotá, Colombia, it’s centered more around this geographical location. I hope that both visitors to this beautiful country and english-speaking residents can all benefit from this blog in finding good and sometimes new places to eat or in other cases just recipes that I make at home.
Comments or suggestions are very welcome and if you have any suggestions for places I should visit here, let me know too!
I can also be reached at bogotafoodtours@gmail.com
Buen Provecho!

Hi! I’m traveling to Bogota for a few days later this month and the guides available in the US are meager and seemingly out of date. As a San Franciscan I am really interested in food! I’ve been enjoying your blog and I’m wondering if you have compiled a top ten, or could recommend a handful of your favorite restaurants and bars, to enjoy while I’m in Bogota…
Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for reading the blog. I had some family visiting so that’s why I’ve been MIA for so long. I haven’t ever put together a top ten list but I will just for you! And for anyone else who’s interested. I’ll post it soon and I hope you enjoy your trip to Bogotá….

Thanks for the update! Your new web page looks very nice indeed. Just yesterday I was talking about how I need an Indian food fix, so I’ll be seeing you soon.
Thanks!

Encontre este blog tuyo por casualidad. Te felicito! Muy chevere
Me encanta Bogotá, la gastronomía colombiana- pues, la gastronomía en general. Te felicito en tu blog. Siempre busco algo que comer cuando viaje a Colombia. Desafortunadamente, no he estado en mi querido Bogotá desde el octubre de 2010. Seriamente necesito planaer un viaje por 2012.
Hey, I’m doing a cooking course with a local family in Cartagena next week – the place is called La Pastelaria de Titi – let me know if you would like the info! I can send you some pictures and details afterwards too. I am terrible at cooking so it will be a test! Vicki
Hola,
It’s great to read your blog and get some tips on yummy places to eat in Bogota!
Thought you might be interested in visiting our beautiful spot at some stage if you manage to escape from the big city – we offer a pretty special experience in our new hostel and private dining restaurant, in a stunning rural area just outside of Manizales!
