A restaurant for breakfast and brunch is very remote, in the central area but not really. A very varied menu and most of the dishes come with potatoes, in our opinion the dishes and the bread were too greasy but the service is great and clean.

Amazing food and coffee 🫶🏼🌴 We had the burrito, Navajo taco, and peanut butter brownie. All of them were exceptional, but be aware that the taco is not the usual taco and also all the portions were HUGE 🫶🏼🩵

After spending a week eating at this restaurant nearly every day, we were blown away by the delicious food and generous portions. Before our hiking trips, we grabbed lunch packs from here, which were absolutely perfect for our activities. Almost everything served is homemade, and you can really tell there's a lot of love put into the details. Highly recommend!

Spacious cafe with nice decor and very decent modern menu with plenty to chose from. Our burger and fish & chips were excellent, portions were really big. They have their house made sauces and ketchup, both are very tasty. For those who go on long treks, here they offer packed lunch.

We ordered a philly cheese steak and a veggie burrito. As you can see; a whole lot. Didn't get to finish it but it tasted really good! Lovely meal, cheap price. Nice spot. Recommended if you wanna visit a place which has food with western hints.

First and foremost i want to say that the staff are very good at their jobs. Fast service and delivered professionally. Also the fact that they're open at 7am is great because most tours in town start at 8am. The food was good. I ordered a steak omelette and a cappuccino. The coffee was locally sourced and was really good. The omelette was also quite large and because i ordered it with fruit salad instead of potatoes, i didn't leave feeling full or like trash. Overall everything was good except the price which is very high for Colombia and they add an 8% tax while every other restaurant includes the tax in the final price. I would return again if it was the only place open in town and for that i was grateful.

The perfect place for us to grab an early quick breakfast and a packed lunch before a day trip into the Cocora valley. Excellent customer service and great food and portion sizes!

We were recommended this place by our hostess as they open at 6 am - perfect for early arrivals with the bus. We LOVED the food and atmosphere. Portions are big and there is lots to choose from on the menu. If you don’t want a big portion, you can simply tell the waiter. The staff is so kind, service is 10/10 and Jeff told us about the area and what to see on a map. He gave us lots of great tips. We ate all our meals here and bought the lunch pack for our bus ride on our last day. What a great concept btw! You get everything you need in a small bag for lunch at such an affordable price. We wish more places would do this. Jeff is so kind and made us feel welcome as soon as we stepped into the restaurant. We hope to come back one day. Try their milkshakes!!! Choco banana is the best I’ve ever had and their brownies with ice cream are incredible!!! We were surprised at how much of the food is homemade. Even their peanut butter, yoghurt and granola is freshly made.

Great place to start or finish your hike! They provide extensive information in English on the local trails and attractions. There is also a small store with hiking supplies. The best is the packed lunch: yummie sandwich, granola, crackers, chewing gum, a drink, banana, and the best peanut brownie ever! We ate here several times and would definitely recommend pizza, nachos, and shakes. Dine-in menu and packed lunch both include vegan options. Very friendly owners and staff speaking great English.

We were only in Salento for 24 hrs and seemed to visit 4 times we were so impressed. We firstly found the place for lunch and got a burrito and nachos which were amazing. We then went back that night for a delicious Granola bowl and English Breakfast tea. We went hiking and got a packed lunch and OH MY GOSH, this was the best! Food was so tasty, especially during a big hike & so much variation. We even got a cute note inside. We then returned the bag and got a free orange juice and a beautiful coffee. Let me tell you, YOU MUST GET THE PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE. It was so yummy! Can't wait to visit again. Plus, the staff were so welcoming and remembered us every time which was so lovely. Thank you Brunch :)

I love this place! The brilliant concept that they have created for traveller and tourist is genius. The breakfast and brunch was delicious American style, with a unique coffee blend on offer daily. Their best feature is the “packed lunch” perfect for all of the tourists planning to hike the cocora hike, as there is no real food offering during the hike and the hike can take up to 5 hours, it’s a brilliant concept! You can also rent gum boots and buy ponchos (which during wet season is great if you don’t want to destroy your shoes). I just love when a business shows initiative and caters to the tourist needs of the area. My only negative is that it’s not advertised more, we only found out about this place through word of mouth and during the hike, but decided to check it out for breakfast the next day and it didn’t disappoint.

This restaurant is comically good. The ice cream is so big and so good and so rich that it is laughable. The peanut butter brownie with ice cream is even better. Like an orgasm in your mouth. We also got the packed lunch before a hike which blew our socks off. 11/10 would recommend this joint

Try the vegan peanut butter and brownie ice cream :) Breakfast was yummy too, big portions.

We got the lunch packages for our hike in Cocora Valley. We ordered them the day before. It comes in a cute little bag and contains a sandwich, delicous brownie, banana and some other surprises. Def recommend for your hike at Cocora Valley! We got the bigger option. Small one would be enough though!

Excellent food and incredibly friendly and hospitable staff, who will take the time to give you an overview of the different activities and hiking routes around Salento (they have maps painted on their walls and use a laser pointer to talk you through it!). If you’re planning on doing day hikes they also sell lunch packs for 20K to save you the hassle of packing your own lunch!

Probably the coolest spot we ate at in Salento. Some say a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for here. Large portions, great service, and many homemade ingredients. We had the omelette and blueberry pancakes. Both were fantastic. Try the Heinz 57 1/2 sauce. Free WiFi and great coffee with chill spots to read or get work done upstairs. Jeff is the owner and is very kind and witty. They also to to go lunches for hikes or bus rides.

During my last visit here seven years ago, I frequented this restaurant multiple times and was delighted to return for dinner, given their extensive dinner options. Opting for the chili burger, I requested the chili on the side. The burger and the accompanying chili were generously portioned, so bring your appetite. However, the specialty brioche bun did thin out as I savored the meal. My partner opted for the curry soup and found it satisfying. The following day, we ordered their lunch to-go meals for 20000 COP, which provided ample sustenance for our hike in the Cócora valley. The restaurant's top-notch service was consistent throughout our visit.

Great place in Salento, with an extensive brunch menu with HUGE portions. Be prepared to ask for a takeaway box. I had a portion of nachos that w could easily feed three people. Place is recommended. Only downside was my mango juice was extremely bland - which is surprising because all the juices I tried in Colombia have been super tasty. Overall tho, definitely recommended!

This was a very good place to eat food at Salento, so much that we went 3 times! They have a service where you can buy a packed lunch for if you are hiking. The food was very tasty, the workers were kind, and the building was spacious. It even had a map that showed the hiking trails, the owner of the restaurant kindly showed us the route. This place was overall a very good place to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner! 😋🍽️

Amazing breakfast spot prior to your hike in the Cocora Valley! Grab their lunch package for 20k Pesos for your hike! The lunch package is soo much food and it’s so delicious. Can’t recommend it enough!

Best restaurant we visited in Salento. Great service, huge portions of delicious food, excellent coffee. We visited 3 times and had breakfast and dinner. The burrito was excellent and easily big enough for two people to share. The burgers were full of flavour and a solid meal for dinner. Granola was fresh and flavoursome. The veggie omelette was healthy and really good. The peanut butter chocolate brownie was everything we wanted it to be. And this was the first place in Colombia that allowed us to mix fruits in the juices - recommend the guanabana and guayaba combo. The house-made hot sauce was so good - what I wouldn't give to get that recipe! Thanks so much, keep up the great work...and let me know if you'll share that hot sauce recipe ;)

This was one of my favorite meals in Salento. The chef and restaurant staff take pride in serving this traditional Venezuelan cuisine as it is on excellent display in every dish we ate. The staff was cheery and helpful and the chef came out to say hello. The vibe is simple and intimate. Check it out.

The food at Cumana was so fantastic that we went back a second time. The service was impeccable. The staff are so friendly and kind. The Arepas were incredible. We highly recommend this place when you are in Salento. You couldn't ask for better food and service! Thank you for sharing a taste of your culture with us!

Great place for dinner or lunch! We tried it 2 days in a row, and the food was really good, many options in the menu and the portions were very large for a decent price. Large selection of drinks as well, everything looked so delicious so we had a problem deciding which one to order. Definitely a place to visit!

So very delicious and they had plenty of vegetarian options to choose from! Everything was made fresh while we sipped our cold Club Colombia’s. They were so kind and patient with the language barrier. Their Instagram page is the absolute best way to order if you are visual. It is very up to date. I was able to show her what I wanted on their Instagram page. The food was so fresh, the plantains were my favorite I could have eaten a plate of just those. It was the perfect meal after a long day of travel. 🙌 🇻🇪

We overall enjoyed our dining experience at Cumnana bistro. The food is high quality, and they have many diverse options, including vegetarian ones. We ordered the hot dog, bowl, and green salad. The portions were significant, and the dishes were excellent. However, we had to wait to get a table for quite a long time before they came out. The restaurant is very successful, consequently, was very busy. Fortunately for us, we were with friends to kill time. Also, at 7 AM, they were already running out of 4 different dishes.

Amazing restaurant in Salento- especially if you are craving a salad after eating a lot of fried food in Colombia! I got some sort of non alcoholic lemonada, a green salad, and a delicious arepa. The food was incredibly good and it was inexpensive. Highly recommend!

Incredible local Venezuelan food. We found this place on google Really glad we came and waited in line There was a small queue forming but fortunately as there was only 2 of us we got seated straight away The menu is on a qr code And luckily there is photos of the food with the explanation in Spanish and English Something to note …… The food served, looks identical to the pictures! Lots of different types of food options Burgers, Arrepos, salads, so much to choose from. We had a green salad it was incredibly fresh with a yogurt dressing. We also had the roast beef Massive portions So many lovely fresh vegetables it was lovely with a really flavoursome gravy. So much so we had enough beef to wrap Some up and give it to the local street dogs too. The little furry baba loved it too. The vibe in here was lovely - plenty of tourists and great music. Clean toilets Great service - really friendly waiters and waitresses. They also serve filtered water for free which is nice For 2 meals and drinks it came to less than £15 including the tip. Highly recommend this place! #Columbiafood #venezualanfoodinColumbia #foodreviews #salentofood #Venezuelanfood #travelcolumbia

WONDERFUL! Tiny, cosy and super welcoming restaurant. Food has a homemade touch and is very tasty! We had a veggi soup, an arepa with cheese and a veggi bowl… IT WAS ALL WE NEEDED AND WANTED AFTER A LONG WALK IN THE COCORA VALLEY! The homemade bread is also amazing. The staff is just wonderful and very very warm and friendly. They are a group of Venezuelan women willing to share the food culture of their rich country. Definitely recommended to have lunch or dinner in Salento. Prices are more than fair ♥️

The best arepa I’ve had in Colombia! All of the dishes were perfect - a beautiful fresh salad, flavorful vegetarian main, and perfect coconut cake for dessert. And the cocktails were interesting and delicious! On top of all that, the people working at Cumana could not have been more welcoming or attentive. Don’t miss this while you’re in Salento (or maybe go twice like me!)!!

We are writing this review as we eat. If we were to write the most accurate review it would just be ooos and aaahs. Eat dish, drink, and dessert is stellar. Each of the three people who brought out our food described it with pleasure, pride, adding of background on the dish. So good!

Dined here twice during our brief stay in Salento - excellent food and service. They tell you how long to expect to wait for the entrees, which are well worth the 30 minute wait! Awesome arepas and baked chicken, wish we could have tried it all!

Never got to experience Venezuelian food before. Everything was SO tasteful and the service is just awesome. If the owner reads this - would you want to open a second restaurant in Tyrol, Austria? Happy to kick it off with you to get to enjoy this more often ;-)

If you’re looking to get away from fried food and eat something that is healthier and tastier, come here. The food is amazing, the survive is great and they take time to explain the food and it’s significance to Venezuela, the drinks (non alcoholic) are amazing, and their website is clear. Nicest meal we had in Salento

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal here and would definitely recommend. Service was good and food very tasty. Ambience also nice. Would go back.

This is a Venezuelan restaurant serving cheap and delicious food. Tasty green salad, chicken, beef and arepas. Everything was very good. The staff is also very friendly. You have to try!

Amazing place to have a Venezuelan dinner/lunch. Friendly and professional service. Quick serving. Tasty food with big portions 👌

Lunch Menu 15.000 COP, veggie option available and super friendly owner. Highly recommend away from the hustle of the main plaza. We went with a big group and they immediately made some space

Great value and great service. It has an authentic traditional colombian athmosphere with an open kitchen. The menu of the day is a full meal eith lemonade included, you can have it day or night and it cost 17000, probably one of the cheapest in town. Highly recommended.

Recommended by locals! Didn’t disappoint at all. Local Colombian food, an entire menu of soup, dish and drink for 13000 Colombians something like less than 3 euros! Good food good people

Menu del Dia is CO$ 13.000. Very good food. Big fish portion and you get a personal jug of limonada. The people working there are very nice. - 2022.08.11 The arepa place next door is good too. Big arepa rellena is CO$ 5.000, cafe latte CO$ 2.000 (last picture). - 2022.08.12

Amazing food!!! Wonderful service and very good prices!! Menu del dia only 17k! They also have many veggie options!!!

Favorite restaurant in salento! So cheap and everyone who works here is very kind. For 13,000 pesos, got a full bowl of yummy soup, lemonade, and feast of fish rice vegetables plantains lentils…I might have to come back tomorrow

It would be silly not to come here! Less than $3 for enormous meal of soup, entree, two sides, fritters and a pitcher of lemonade. The trout is better than the chicken. Sweet people running the place!

Great experience! Best local food we’ve had so far in Colombia. Fresh and very tasty for a pretty good price. The owner (Luci?) is super friendly which was the cherry on the cake for us.

I happened to see this place lively and decided to give it a try. For 15K COP my meal included trout with salad and lentils as the main dish. It also included a fish soup and agua panela drink. Holly cow! I left very satisfied from this mom n pop restaurant.

Great comfort food! They have a simple menu with a couple of options for 15k COP - includes soup, main and lemonade. It was the perfect place to visit after a tiring day in Cocora Valley

This is an excellent place to eat consistent Colombian food. Friendly service and tasty trout. Fast service, clean, and reasonable price. Keep up the good work.

My partner and I ate here after a long day of hiking. The menu of the day was 17,000 pesos and included your choice of protein, a choice of lentils/beans/vegetables/pasta, salad, rice, fritters, soup, and a generous pitcher of limonada! We both ordered the trout and enjoyed it a lot. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely amazing tasty food 😋 perfect staff 💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Cute sitting area. Prices are a bit higher than I expected, but the coffee cocktail options are reasonably priced at ~$16k COP each. Triciclo (4/5): tasted like a sweet dessert coffee drink. Not much alcohol flavour. Kind of like a coffee with some Bailey. Fusion Del Barista (4/5): very creative drink. High acidity. Can't really taste the mint flavour, but it was nicely chilled and foamy. The wifi is really slow: about 2mb down and 1mb up with the speed test. Note: to buy their beans, it costs about 250g for ~$40k.

This coffee shop was recommended to me by the hostel where I'm staying in in Salento. Excellent place to have lunch, have a dessert or just read with a good coffee. Awesome service and the waitress Angela was friendly and kind (she adapted my dish to my need not to eat meat) ☺️.

A very cute cafe with great coffee! We got a cappuccino and it was made really well, and the staff are lovely

Coffee nice, pineapple juice nice Staff a little bit miserable nowhere near as friendly as the rest of solento! Plenty of seats. Told us the card machine didn’t work just wanting us to pay cash.

Jesus Martin was a good spot to enjoy coffee. You can choose between many brewing methods, but as far as I know, I don't think you can pick the type of coffee. The ambiance is relaxing and the decoration is beautiful. I'd recommend!

BEST COFFEE in Colombia. By far. The staff are amazing. Brownie was delicious. They are very precise and take care of making your coffee. They should have more locations. Would return to Salento, just for this coffee.

Here right now finishing my breakfast and delicious coffee, solid 5 stars on every account. It’s been 4 years since I was last here, at that time I took the day coffee finca tour that started and ended here, same perfect coffee!

We were surprised to learn that it’s challenging to find a good cup of coffee in Colombia, since most of the good stuff is exported. However, we learned so much about Colombian coffee while we were in Salento and this place was a great addition to that. The house exotic blend was possibly one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. We didn’t try the food but it looked and smelled good.

The real quindío coffee taste! Served in a beautiful museum-like setting

The best coffee spot in Colombia! With a lovely patio and atmosphere, these skilled baristas serve up incredible beans. Some have even competed in international competitions. I came for a pour over and ended up trying half the menu. Their coffee and pastries are simply unbeatable! Also, specialty beans pour over for some 6K is a steal!

We came twice to this coffee shop and had a wonderful experience both times. The setting is incredible. There are two rooms, one in the front and one in the back, which offer lots of natural light. The decorations and style are lovely and quaint. They have WiFi and a few outlets, which makes the place practical to work and study. We ordered the pecan pie, lattes and golden milk. Everything was delicious, notably the pie, which was to die for. Bonus for the dairy free milk.

Super nice spot to have a coffee and chill a little bit! They offer tasty empanadas

The food wasn't bad but unfortunately the place doesn't carry ketchup. The service however needs a lot of improvement. The waiter never came to the table so I had to walk to the front for them to take the order and the table was clean either.

Totally overrated café: they didn’t let us use the bathroom as it was closed so we couldn’t order any dessert as we couldn’t eat with dirty hands. We ordered cappuccinos but those were served in carton glasses - tiny portions for 9,000 COP!

You have to come to this place if you’re in Salento. This is such great restaurant that we still remember how delicious the food was even through we visited this place 2 years ago. Service, food presentation, interior design, everything was top noch! Keep it up and we can’t wait to visit this place again!

Very good. The staff is very nice. A lot of choices. Went there with my husband and he loved it. I loved the dessert. Portions are perfect

Great restaurant! The best we’ve had so far on our trip! I ordered the Kundamana Trout and it was really flavorfull and good. My husband had the Fiambre and he loved it. For dessert we had the Bread Flan, which was also a great choice. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy. Great place, recommended 100%!!!

Delicious food. And very fancy location. Surprised that such a place exists in Salento, which is a small rustic town. Prices in line with the place, and the service is very good. I can undoubtedly recommend the salmon pasta 😍 !!wow! Also their Canelazo and Te de canela taste good. plus their Flamed Creme Brule - yummy 😋 if you have trouble finding it, it is on top of the Salento Real Hotel.

Food is delicious! Cocktails are even better! Great service from staff as well, definitely recommend!

By far this is the best restaurant in the region! Everything we have tried has been really delicious and the prices are also great. Whoever that visits the town must come here.

Presentation of the food is just as amazing as it tastes. This restaurant is definitely on the pricier side in the area but totally worth it. Great customer service, cute decor and location, and a must visit if you’re in the area!

We randomly stopped in for cocktails one afternoon. What a pleasant surprise to stumble onto this place. The restaurant itself is very pretty. The view from the bar is wonderful. The best though was our cocktails! We had the El Ancestral and The Cocora, two of the specialty offerings. They were excellent! Highly recommend stopping in for drinks!

I was really looking forward to eating here all week. Sadly I left disappointed. I wonder if the presentation is better than the food itself. All the pictures looked so good! Also, the online menu and the one in the restaurant were different so just wait until you are there to see what is current. Unfortunately my dish did not taste flavorful or fresh (shrimp, squid and spicy rice). I only ate half before leaving. I paid less for so many other amazing dishes in Salento. Also, my server hardly noticed me at all and never checked on me. Maybe I would’ve asked for a different entree if she had. She also brought my drink in the middle of the meal which was a bummer too. Service is slow (one bartender for the whole restaurant). However my drink was good! I recommend going for a few drinks and ambience because the place is very cute. Bring a sweater because the whole place is open-air.

This is definitely the top fine dining restaurant in Salento. Food is absolutely delicious, fresh, and high quality. If you are looking for the best contemporary Colombian food in Salento, Quindu is amazing. Service is great and food came out quick. Our waitress/bartender was super nice and was very friendly and spoke a little English :)

One of my favorite dishes in Colombia was from here. It was a great pasta dish but I also enjoyed the other food and drinks. The service was great and also we had a beautiful view. I was surprised how big this place was. Definitely a great place to stop.
