Carmen
Carmen Medellín
An upscale restaurant in El Poblado opened in 2008, renowned for its frequently updated tasting menus and contemporary Colombian flavors.
Founded in 2008 by Chef Carmen Ángel and others, Carmen is located near Parque Lleras, about a 15-minute walk from the Poblado metro station. The signature dish is Cerdo 2 Veces (Pork Two Ways), which presents milk-braised pork tenderloin and 12-hour glazed pork belly on the same plate. The tasting menu is updated frequently, and a vegetarian version is also available. It is recommended to book at least a week in advance for weekends; walk-ins on Saturdays are often turned away. Main courses are around 22–40 USD, and tasting menus are around 70–90 USD.
