Fodor's Expert Review Mi Cocina Restaurant

An outlet for the Academia Verde Oliva---a cooking school with locations in Bogotá and Villa de Leyva---Mi Cocina serves traditional Colombian fare on wrought-iron tables; the red-and-yellow-tiled exterior patio has the best seats, and you can watch the wood-fired oven in action. The daily lunch special is a bargain, but look out for dishes with longaniza (a local sausage considered a regional delicacy) from neighboring Sutamarchán, or the ajiaco, a traditional Bogotá soup that is prepared superbly here.
