Restaurant
SUA Restaurant is a culinary masterpiece, where delectable dishes are presented in an exquisite manner, resembling artwork on a plate. The menu boasts an extensive array of delectable options, so much so that it can be overwhelming to choose. The waiting time is reasonable and accompanied by delightful live acoustic performances. On another occasion, we witnessed someone serenading the crowd with soothing guitar tunes, indicating that music plays a significant role in the restaurant's ambiance.
Great vibes, good food choices - locally sourced, vegetarian and vegan options. Live music some nights.

After a great river adventure in Don Diego, we arrived to Palomino looking for a place to have lunch. We were passing by and enter Sua. The atmosphere was great, and a look at the menu convinced us. The SUA hamburguer was absolutely delicious. The shrimp casserole was fine, so was the sea bass. As dessert we had a lemon cheesecake and a chocolate volcano. Beware, black coffee is really strong!!!. Sua is definitely a great choice for good food in Palomino, but pricey. Not a budget restaurant. $$$$

What a cute, charming spot on the main street. We stopped by for lunch and enjoyed our visit very much. Loved the service from our waiter, he was funny and charismatic;)

It was our first restaurant we visited in Palomino. They had a few vegan options. For the price the food was very standard and the portion was not that big. Compared to other restaurants it is very pricy and you can get food that is more tasteful elsewhere. Maybe the meat options are better but we can just give our opinion for the vegan options
Kati Goldbach — Google review
We went there twice because the food was really tasty. Also good vegetarian and vegan options. You really have to try the house dessert! It was really tasty! We can also recommend the cocktails even if they have a bit less alcohol in it.

An amazing restaurant with the best vibe and food in palomino! You can also drink some of the best cocktails and enjoy the peace in the air. Recommend for friends, couples, families and everyone. Also pet friendly! And that’s amazing! SUA Restaurant 🥰🐶🍜

Food is just delicious and served in a really beautiful form, an art on the plate. There is an abundance of good food, you may even get a feeling that is too much, as menu consists of 10 pages, so it may be difficult to choose some. Waiting time was normal, and during that time there was really pleasant live acustic music performance. Another time where we were passing this place we also saw somebody playing chilling music on the guitar, so it looks like it's a part of the food politic there 😉

Very nice exterior design. Tried the vegan Burger and Wrap, sadly didn't taste well at all. Barely any attention to spices or sauces and for what we got, rather quite pricy. Quite disappointed, maybe their vegan recipes could be improved.

Excellent food. Very fast paced restaurant. Amazing environment and views. Loved the food itself. Respectful and chilled staff. Reasonable prices. Best food we had so far in Colombia. Clean place and they offered to help us with our luggage. Will be back soon. Thank you.

The best fresh fish experience in all of Palomino. We had Corvina slightly pan fried then finished in the oven. Cooked to perfection. Husband and wife owner. So welcoming. Outstanding experience. Make sure its on your list for places to eat when in Palomino.

Good place and good food, a little overpriced being Palomino, but good option. For some reason their limonada de coco gave my friends and I a stomachache... Or at least that what we blame. Other than that, nice presentation and live shows.

By far the best restaurant in Palomino! The unique Fried Lion Fish and the Caribbean Trilogy were among the best dishes in the area!

Pizzeria La Frontera is a delightful establishment with affordable prices and a welcoming ambiance. The salame pizza, priced at 17000$, is particularly impressive in taste. Although some chairs may lack comfort, the staff readily accommodates by providing alternative seating options. On another visit, it was observed that the staff appeared unhelpful and had difficulty communicating in both Spanish and English. However, this did not detract from the exceptional quality of the pizzas.
Best pizza I have had in ages! I'm always skeptical when people say 'best pizza in colombia' etc but honestly, if you like thin and crispy, go here. It was amazing! Great crispy base with decent toppings and a good price.

Such a great pizza spot in Palomino. Very tasty, with a nice thin and crispy crust! Lots of yummy and interesting topping combinations. The table also has yummy oils and peppers etc.
Laura Badeker — Google review
Excellent pizzas at excellent prices. We went twice! The staff need to pay more attention to writing up the bill at the end though. The first time they forgot to charge for one of the pizzas (so we told them and paid the right amount), and the second time we were charged for a more expensive pasta than the one we had.

I love the thin crust pizza here. Simple and light the right amount to eat before surfing. Good flavor, and I love getting lemonade de Coco with pizza. Perfect.

Great little spot. Lovely pizza - super thin so feels light but sufficiently filling (for lunch at least!). Nice service and a lovely atmosphere (everyone seems happy to be there from a cooking and waiting staff point of view). Highly recommend!

Really delicious Italian style pizza with thin, crunchy crust and plenty of toppings. Ingredients are mostly sourced from Italy so the food tastes authentic. Decoration is also beautiful and staff are very friendly.

The pizzas have a really nice crust. Food was good and service was fast. They have a cozy environment inside!
J in Brussels — Google review
I don’t want to call it a “thin crust pizza”, because it’s more of a flatbread than a pizza. Ingredients an ok quality from what I can say. The taste of the pizzas are ok, the bruschettas surprisingly good. Chorizo pizza not really spicy, but the hot sauce and extra chili flakes really are. Lulu juice fresh and drinks refreshing and tasty. All in all totally acceptable for the low prices (16-35ish K for pizzas)! PSA: they charge an extra 5% of the final price if you want to pay with card!
Tobias Hofstätter — Google review
Really nice place. And not expensive. My salame pizza was 17000$. And it was really good. Some of the chairs are not tooo comfy, but we just changed to different ones. Update: I have been there again today. Staff was really unfriendly, it seemed like he neither spoke Spanish nor English. He was kind of annoyed by anything we sad. Pizza was still really good.

The cuisine at Holss, a vegetarian restaurant, is simply delightful. The dishes are exquisitely presented and carefully arranged. The ambiance is adorned with an abundance of lush greenery. Patrons can savor a variety of plates that are meant to be shared and relish every bite. However, there were a couple of minor issues that should be addressed - the lengthy wait time for food (approximately one hour) and the meager amount of bread served with the hummus.
One of the best places to eat in palomino, the food is super tasty, fresh and healthy. I loved the fact that the dishes had a big variety of vegetables. Highly recommended visiting this place.

We came here after being recommended their french press coffee by Jen at the Tabata gym next door (also highly recommend that place for workouts in Palomino..!) - and we fell in love with it! We came back every day after that for a delicious cafetiere of coffee (with coconut milk) and lunch. The prices are very reasonable, food is delicious and nutritious, the service is super warm and the ambience and setting of the place is beautiful.

The food was merely delectable. The dishes are beautifully and meticulously styled. The setting is gorgeously garnished with many plants. We ordered many plates to share and devoured all of them. However, we’d like to raise two points that somewhat bugged us yet did not spoil the overall experience 🙂 - first, the time we waited before getting the food (approximately one hour) - second, the quantity of bread served with the hummus. We had a lot of hummus for a ridiculous tiny portion of bread. We asked for more, but we had to pay extra, which we totally understand. Indeed, the bread is to die for, though it would be more accommodating to serve a more significant portion and then charge for more.

Probably the best place for vegan food in Palomino. I wish it would be open for dinner time as well. My advice to the owner (if you read this) is to put more fans in the place. Overall experience is 9/10, but I will give it 5 stars, because you deserve it!

This place is amazing! No longer called Cafe Holss it is Casa de Guadua (something like that). Delicious vegetarian/vegan food, we went twice on our four day stay in Palomino. Both times we got the meal of the day, a whole plate of fresh, healthy food + juice for only 20.000. We also tried a smoothie which was super tasty too. The breakfast options looked unique as well. We didn’t find another place like this in Palomino. Highly recommend!

Incredible vegetarian food spot. We came for brunch and pretty much tried everything on the menu. Gluten free bread was interesting, pancakes were Incredible, and the arepas had wonderful sauces on them. We also got coffee, wellness shots and smoothies. Very chill and beautiful restraunt.

Best cafe/restaurant in Palomino. I came here almost every day of my stay in Palomino. The food is great, everything I’ve had here tastes amazing. Matcha lattes are great. There’s little tables where you can sit on the floor. It’s a great place to work as well since it’s quiet (they play chill music), is it’s away from the Main Street. Its surrounded by lush trees and plants. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There are also fans to help with the heat

Delicious gluten free brunch! Entire menu is gluten free. I had the gluten free sour dough and it was very tasty and large portions for all the meals I saw. Smoothie was good too. Edit: came back 3 more times and every meal was tasty :)

We ate here twice, for dinner and breakfast. The food is very good, high quality and special. Everything is lactose and gluten free, but they have eggs. So not fully vegan but lots of vegan options! The prices are definitely on the higher end but so is the quality. My highlights are the taco and the bowl Tropicana. Definitely something for a special lunch :)

Holss is a must in Palomino. It’s great for brunch, lunch or an afternoon coffee stop. Good ambience and great foot. We recommend trying their coffees, teas and toast options.

We were the sole occupants of the establishment and opted to settle our bill with cash due to a malfunctioning card machine. Aside from this inconvenience, the ambiance and corn chips provided were exceptional! The cuisine itself was incredibly delectable and truly represented an authentic Mexican experience. Their fruit juices were unparalleled in taste and quality. A return visit would be highly anticipated, especially given the pleasant decorations that adorned the premises.
Super delicious and authentic food! Best fruit juices! Would love to go again! Also nice decorations!

Just so bad. A tourist trap without the tourists. No care shown to the food, no care shown to the customers. Microwaved tacos (including wrap) feeling damp and tasting worse. No tequila for cocktails in a mexican restaurant? Go anywhere else and value your time
John Hayes — Google review
- hello one nachos con guagamole. - sorry we don't have guacamole! The average to bad food and drinks were not so much of a problem. We had to wait more than 35 mins to pay - as the waiter had forgotten the pin machine at home and had to go get it. And during this wait we just had to wait at the entrance. Avoid at all costs !
Aris Kalgreadis — Google review
I don’t usually review, but this was such a hilariously bad restaurant. Un-eatable burrito, staff possibly on drugs (not necessarily an issue, but distracting nonetheless), and made to pay a tip, despite it being voluntary on the bill. We saw many people in the restaurant complain whilst we were there and, although we saw them receive free food, we didn’t want to waste any more time there than necessary. Great decor, terrible food. Avoid at all costs, if not, good luck! We’ll see if we have food poisoning in the morning…

Salomé Latin Food is a charming rustic restaurant run by a delightful Colombian lady. The menu offers simple yet hearty dishes at very reasonable prices, with plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. Guests rave about the delicious vegetable noodles, chips, Patacones, veggie burger, Arroz con vegetales, and ceviche. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, with charismatic staff and even a cat that adds to the charm.
Excellent food at very reasonable prices. Lots of vegaterian options. I ate here two nights in a row. Friendly staff ask well as a charasmatic cat who popped by to make sure our meal was going well. Try the Patacones, veggie burger, the Arroz con vegetales or the ceviche at a fraction of the price of the popular guidebook entry spot down the road.

I ate twice at this place. Both times i ordered rice with shrimps. First experience wasnt really bad, the food was ok, but very few shrimps and extremely slow service. Then I went back because nothing else was open, ordered the same dish again, i got even less shrimps and very average taste. But Palomino has very low standard for restaurants, so thats why ***, otherwise i would have given **.
Miha Schnabl — Google review
The veggie fajitas was just two small tortillas with some coleslaw inside. Didn’t taste anything. Fried rice had no taste either. My juice had plastic from the berry bag inside, and the guy working there didn’t even say sorry.. at least I didn’t have to pay for the juice. We had to get more food from another place after, cause the meals were so small, and too expensive for that! There are so many good restaurants palomino, but this one is on the bottom..

Broodje kip besteld. Oud wit broodje met veel sla en saus. Kip was wel ok. Toiletten verstopt en zeer onhygiënisch. Niet de moeite waard om te komen (Translated by Google) Ordered a chicken sandwich.
