Andrés Carne de Res

Andrés Carne de Res (Chía)

A legendary restaurant combining grilled meat, a dance floor and whimsical art installations. Eating here and then dancing salsa is a distinctly local experience.

Opened in 1982 in Chía, north of Bogotá, it began as a roadside grill and has grown into a giant restaurant that can hold thousands. Its interior is hung with handmade lamps, old objects and slogans. As night falls, the mood builds into a carnival party, with waiters and guests dancing salsa together. The menu focuses on grilled steak and traditional Colombian dishes, at about 100,000–150,000 pesos per person. It is about 30 km from downtown, roughly 1 hour by taxi. You can also visit the downtown branch, Andrés D.C.
