Interior of El Chato restaurant in Bogota, featuring jars on shelves and lush plants.

El Chato Bogota

El Chato is on Calle 65 in Chapinero Alto. It holds the title of best restaurant in Colombia according to the 2024 Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants, ranks no. 24 on The World's 50 Best Restaurants, and sits at no. 54 on La Liste.

The kitchen focuses on modern South American fusion, eschewing the white-tablecloth formality typical of its peers in the Zona Rosa. While the room runs smart and elegant, the experience lacks the rigidity found in the fine-dining rooms near Parque de la 93. It offers an approach that feels personal rather than performative, using technique to justify its global standing. If you prefer your food modern but unvarnished, this is the place to choose.
