Medellín Restaurants
Traditional Antioquian cooking means hearty peasant fare—plenty of meat, beans, rice, and potatoes. But Medellín is full of high-quality restaurants where you'll find many cuisines.

1. Café Pergamino
$ | |The owner of Medellín's beloved purveyor of high-end speciality coffee prides himself on his thorough investigation of and involvement with his suppliers from plant to cup. Let Pergamino's friendly and knowledgeable baristas talk you through the beans on the daily specials list and the best method of preparation. While you wait for your brew, let yourself be tempted by the selection of baked treats before choosing a cozy spot to linger over your choices. The street-side patio is perfect for people-watching.

2. Carmen
$$$ | |One of the forerunners of Medellín's gastro boom, Carmen serves fresh, inventive cuisine in one of the city's best settings, where clever design integrates the surrounding garden with the dining areas, and wood and exposed brick complement the green, airy style. Choose a seat in the glass conservatory, on the soothing patio with its central water feature, in the modern formal dining room, or in the upstairs salon, which has a clear view of the open kitchen. The dishes, while Colombian at heart, have plenty of Asian influence and contemporary flare---try the 12-hour cooked pork belly with a tamarind-and-cane-sugar glaze, sweet-potato puree, and charred Szechuan-style green beans with ginger and wild Colombian "mint" vinaigrette. Reservations are encouraged, and arrive early to grab a first-rate cocktail like the Purple Pussy (with violet-and-apple-infused gin), or the Too Old Fashioned (with whiskey, brandy, and apricot bitters).

3. Ocio
$$$ | |Considered one of El Poblado's most stylish joints, Ocio's high-end kitchen whips up refined, bistro-style comfort food with a meat-loving paisa heart. Tall, vertical gardens, stenciled walls, and plenty of low-hanging Edison bulbs suit the young and trendy crowd that regularly fills the place. Chef Laura Londoño delivers a short but serious menu that focuses on slow-cooked meats. Star dishes like short ribs and ham hock are cooked for over 12 hours before being crisped under the broiler. The starters are creative and modern, using plenty of local rarities and often have an Asian touch---think a ceviche with avocado, local gooseberries, and cured jalapeños, or a green mango salad with thinly sliced beef and a tamarind vinaigrette. Reservations are advised.

4. Verdeo
$$ | |Just off a small park, and marked by a brightly painted exterior---most notably an oversized, happy white rabbit---this vegan restaurant is sure to add a little light to anyone's day. The interior is bursting with creativity---a jungle mural over the staircase, mismatched furniture and crockery, and plenty of greenery throughout. Friendly staff weave among the tables bearing plates filled with colorful, healthy vegetarian fare like stuffed veggie wraps, freshly squeezed juices, flavorful vegan burgers, and Peruvian causa (mashed yellow potato with stuffing). Service can be a touch slow at peak hours.
