Andrés Carne de Res

The all-out fun atmosphere of this famed steakhouse astounds everyone, including repeat guests. The 75-page menu, which includes favorites like arepas (corn cakes) and ceviches, as well as pages of luscious steaks (some of which are portioned to serve as many as seven people), is completely overwhelming; al trapo (chargrilled beef tenderloin) is recommended if you need some assistance deciding.

Andrés Carne de Res's food has improved significantly in recent years – it was ranked 49th on the prestigious San Pellegrino and Acqua Panna Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2017 – but it's the strange decor and architectural gimmicks that truly amaze. For the majority of guests, it's more of a leave-your-watch-at-home spectacle of late-night rumba – staff will force you onto the dance floor if you refuse to join in – that will leave you confused and wondering what the hell happened last night. The catch is that it is located outside of town: in Cha, 23 kilometers north of Bogotá, on the way to Zipaquirá. Uber costs between COP$30,000 and COP$50,000; avoid the restaurant's pricey cab service.
