[QUOTE=Alliwantislove;2114945]I've never created a thread before but I'm giving it a shot since I've appreciated restaurant reviews on ArgentinaPrivate.[/QUOTE]Tell me what type of restaurant you're looking for and I probably can give a review of something. I've been to 60 or more places so far.
A sweetheart and I discovered this place last night when the place we were headed to turned out to be too noisy for us.
The Grill Station Burger - [URL]https://www.facebook.com/Thegrillstation/[/URL].
Three locations, we were at the one in Poblado.
Menus in Spanish and English.
She had juice and a wrap of some kind, I had a burger and fries and a Corona. The total damage was $20.00 US. Maybe not the very best burger I've ever had but pretty damn good.
There was a selection of burgers and other things like the wrap which the sweetheart had. I didn't study the menu. I assume it's online.
They also have a selection of imported beers so expensive that I had never heard of them.
We ate on a balcony overlooking the street. Fairly quiet. Very casual. No table cloths or candles.

As far as a UrL goes, I give up. But it's called "El viejo y el Pancake" on la 70 very near the stadium. It's not really a store front, it's more like a platform selling delicious b'fast.
La 70.
Somebody told me about this, but sounds very good and not too expensive.
Calle 51 (Boyaca) between Carrera 52 (Carabobo) and Carrera 51 (the girlie street).
Across from la Vera Cruz church.
Open 06:00 am to 8:00 pm 365 days a year.
Fine bakery and restaurant. Full breakfast 3,900, economical lunch 5,900, full bandeja lunch 7,900, beer 2,000, juice and milk 1,000, coffee 600.

I just wish they were here in Bogota. Dollar for dollar, maybe my favorite restaurant in the world! For real. Mushroom soup, ceasar salad. Everything. And the prices couldn't be more reasonable. I always had great service. Wish I could go right now.
The best I have found in eight years of extensive research.
Fantastic ambiance in the middle of the Botanical Gardens (a quiet oasis in the middle of a chaotic city).
First world quality, presentation, and service.
Located in the North end of Jardin Botanico (metro universitat).
Open for lunch daily 12:00 to 3:30 dinner 6:30 to 9:00.
Appetizers around 20,000 Mains around 50,000.

Is it your understanding that all cows are grass-fed in Colombia? Is the steak really tasty? Where are some places for an awesome (really awesome) steak?
This may be too much info, but years ago I went to a restaurant, sort of a double date, but I had been given, or taken, and overdose of some local drug, like say ecstasy. So it was a very nice, my recollection is extremely nice, sort of little Italian restaurant, and there was a garden in back. You could get up from your meal, which I did, and walk back in the garden. There were colored lights, and a swimming pool, also in colors. Does anyone know where this restaurant is? I suspect it's near Poblado. Thanks.

In fact, I am in Argentina right now on a BEEF eating holiday from Colombia (notwithstanding I have exceeded my 180 days for 2017). I converted to chicken and fish long ago. I believe the meat you buy in the butcher shop or what is served in a restaurant are grass fed milk COWS too old to produce milk. The only good beef is imported. (McDonalds beef is imported from Chile). I have found 3 places with a good BEEF steak (2 of which are out of business because imported beef is too expensive).
Try the third floor food court of the Hollywood building on Carabobo. (Diagonally across from the old palace of justice). If memory serves me, it is called Carbon & Sabor. As you come up the escaletor, it is straight ahead. If you come at 12:15, it has the longest order line. Filet mingon is US quality about 20,000.

I tried this a few night ago. Somehow struck me as classy although there are no table cloths and the napkins are paper. Dim lighting. Pretty quite. Carrying on a conversation would be no problem. The name of the place implies that there is a bar but I could neither see nor hear one. No TV that I could see or hear.
Roofed over of course but pretty much open air. So on a cooler and / or windy night I'd try to sit well inside.
I had a nice piece of salmon which came with some vegetables and I ordered french fries. I had flan for dessert which was about the same size and shape as a piece of cheesecake. It even had the consistency as cheesecake. I. E. Pretty dense. Very good but very filling.
Total damage, and I also had a copa de tinto, was US $30.
