Two Colombian Couples dreamt of changing the concept of dining. Tired of going to places and being treated like strangers, either too casual or too formal where there was not a combination of a nice dinner and a good atmosphere to dance. Against non believers they are here to offer the best of both worlds in a different concept with two international chefs (Colombian and Venezuelan) leading the kitchen and having fun while doing so, creating small gourmet bites inspired by different flavors of the world.

    We experienced the most incredible Pallela filled with fresh clams, mussels, shrimp and much more. The atmosphere was quiet and we were greeted by the owner and chef, Arturo. This is truly a hidden neighborhood gem. The open flame fire burning oven keeps the ambiance warm and inviting.

    This speakeasy is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance feels like stepping into another era. The music was exceptional—a perfect blend of live tunes and curated playlists that set the mood beautifully. It’s the kind of place where every beat feels intentional, adding to the charm of the experience. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they were doing. They made thoughtful recommendations and ensured everything felt seamless throughout the evening. The attention to detail—from the decor to the cocktail presentation—made the night unforgettable. If you’re looking for a hidden treasure with incredible vibes, outstanding service, and music that transports you, this place is a must-visit.
