Are you going to PM him to let him know that you posted a response to his question here? There is a good chance he does not know it (a response) is sitting here, LOL.

Yeah, will do. That is a good idea. I will do that going forward if I move something from another forum.

3 Tipicos Restaurante. I ate sancocho from there every day for two weeks last trip. The website is below. They deliver also.

IMO it is a big mistake not to take advantage of delivery in El Poblado or Laureles. I use delivery at least 5 times a week. Average delivery fee is $1. Give the guy an extra $2 and he will have a huge smile every time you open the door. Average delivery time is 45 min.

I am way out in West Laureles and I found a bunch of restaurants that deliver. There are more than twice as many restaurants in El Poblado. Many restaurants have their menus online also.

Cool, because I want to revive it. Man, I know that some hardliner is going to skewer me on this one, but I have to ask!

I LOVE Colombian sancocho. Where is the best place that in Poblado, I. E, close to the Mansion?

Thanks in advance!

You're doing it wrong Jeff. Get yourself a nice girl and have her cook for you.

JaJaJa. Ironically my Colombian girlfriend cooking for me actually put me in this situation in the first place. With all of salt, oil, etc mixed in with the food did me in. In addition, if I was with her all of the time I would have to resign my monger membership.

I have had some minor health issues over the past year. Due to this I am changing my diet and need to eat healthy.

I am looking for restaurants that have fresh ingredients. I know that normally the cost doubles for these places but this is exactly what I am looking for.

Went to a restaurant today, at the recommendation of The Apartment Medellin, called 3 Tipicos. I would highly recommend this place. Their website is on Facebook. I paid 20k for a large bowl of soup with beef and chicken inside. They are located a few blocks from Parque Lleras. They deliver but only until 4p.

Do any locals have any restaurant suggestions? If they deliver, even better.

Thanks in advance.

50 mil for a freeking pizza? A BIT pricey, are you kidding?

Yeah pricey but, enough for 4 persons

[Manizales911]

I recommend Rumo's Pizza. CL 1 29-538 Mall Plaza. Colombia, Medellíand tel: 448 2400. It's off Tranversal Intermedial. They deliver also. Good pizza nice thin crust. A bit pricey at $50 mil pesos but, better than all in Medellin IMHO

WTF? Must be the most expensive pizza I have ever heard of. That costs more than pussy. Or is pussy included as one of the toppings for 50K?

Here's another vegetarian restaurant in the Centro casa area. I ate a wrap last year and it was very good. http://www.happycow.net/reviews.php?id=14230

Colombia Reports recommends the restaurant below. I will try this venue in March.

Lenteja Express.

Calle 53 No. 42-17 (Maracaibo con Cordoba)

Right next door to Eslabon Prendido salsa bar, one of the best in Medellin, Lenteja Express is a vegetarian paradise. It's a great place to stop in for lunch and try their ultra-delicious vegetarian hamburger with lentil or garbanzo patties handmade by creator Gabriel Ramirez, or to come with friends for late-night nachos and beers. This is a downtown favorite, where simplicity and creativity have met healthy eating.

Other delicacies include vegetarian ceviche, lasagna, quesadillas, and on Fridays a special vegetarian "cazuela," with homemade vegetarian beans and toppings. If you're needing a break from meat and arepa, this is the place to go to expand your palate with spicy salsas, jalapenos, and juice blends, including an amazing flor de jaimaica guarapo mix.

I have been to two very good Italian restaurants in Medellin. Not world class but still very good.

So John, you were sandbagging me when I coughed up that name?

Crispino Pizza & Pasta.

Circular 1 No 74. 04.

Telefone 413 32 66

Now I get it. This was the PM you sent me. I had already been there, but didn't realize it was the same place.

A senior moment for sure.

It had been seven months since my last visit to this Italian resturant. I greeted the owner (Salvatore) , and he remembered my name. A nice welcome for me.

I love the hot little rolls. If you ask you can get a hot dipping oil instead of the more common oil.

Dinner for two with one drink each was 49K. That included the tip. The locals like this place as I alwaya see no Gringos there.

My thanks to John from the Laureles Penthouse (don't know if he still has the Penthouse) who envited me there a few years ago.
