About this spot
Nestled in the historic heart of La Candelaria, Café de la Peña serves classic French fare that feels surprisingly at home in Bogotá's colonial streets. Expect a cozy, old-world atmosphere where you can enjoy a perfectly seared steak or a rich cheese board without the tourist traps found elsewhere in the city.
💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for 'a la carte' service rather than the fixed-price menu to sample more variety.
- Order your wine by the glass early, as the selection of French vintages is small and sells out quickly.
- Save room for a slice of tarte Tatin, which is often served warm and dusted with powdered sugar.
