Fulanitos - Bogotá

Visited here on a Sunday at 1300 after a few too many pisco sours the night before downtown. It was the perfect antithesis to a fuzzy head and a rumbling stomach that missed breakfast. The food was hearty, filling, delicious and reasonably priced. I had...the traditional paisa type dish from Valle Cauca region (North West Colombia which is depicted in many photos here and has widespread varieties across the country but generally contains rice, hearty beef bean stew, some slow cooked shredded beef, local chorizo type sausages, a local black pudding sausage and then dressed with a slice of avocado, some plantain (of course! and a fried egg on top. If you finish this you are doing well and for less than $10 a plate you cannot get a better Sunday afternoon dish! My partner had the pacific style fish in coconut sauce with cassava, rice and potatoes apparently it was a real contender against traditional pacific island lovo food (earth oven . Again all absolutely delicious and the entire meal with four home made lemonades, two bottles of water and two espressos was $42,000 COP (about $13 USD! I would have paid $100 USD for this plate without blinking, the restaurant is an old colonial style house (casa with exposed beams antique trinkets. Well, there was also a 1980's camera on the wall which I recall taking photos with on family holidays in Tenerife ....the type you have to roll on the film with (by hand ! I would add a note of caution to book/reserve, as when we arrived at 1300 there were few table remaining and if you want the outside courtyard with view over the rooftop of Candelaria definitely book. By 1400 the place was turning people away. There are many places like this in Bogotá to eat, but this was done with such local charm and effortless tradition that it fitted the Sunday hangover/family lunch bill perfectly. We then followed the meal by a stroll through the cobbled streets of Candelaria to try walk some of it off! I will definitely go back!

Food was great including vegetarian options. The view of Bogotá is amazing. Service quick and professional

Great value for the menu del dia. Place has a nice atmosphere. Decent view of the city if you are abe to sit on the patio.

La comida es muy muy deliciosa. ¡Qué delicia!

If you ever travel to Bogotá and visit La Candelaria, you should have lunch at Fulanitos. It's not Bogota's typical food, but is Cali's typical food. You'll love it. Try "Marranitas" or "Aborrajado".
