  • 1. Empanadas Obelisco

    $

    Although you can dine inside, try to snag one of the tables across the street on the bank of the Río Cali. Here, a tiny restaurant serves up the best empanadas in the city, some say, in the entire country. Get your empanadas with a lulada, a classic caleño drink made of crushed lulo fruit.

  • 2. Platillos Voladores Restaurant

    $$$

    This elegant home turned restaurant is one of the city's smartest dining options, offering carefully prepared dishes with a contemporary twist. Seafood is the highlight, with dishes that brilliantly blend the main ingredient with local fruits or plantain; don't miss the risotto or creamy coconut-based soups that are a coastal tradition. Interior murals by artist Carlos Andrade add color, but it is the calm, leafy patio that is the prize spot. Service is excellent, but the place is hugely popular, so reserve ahead and don't be in a rush.

  • 3. Restaurante Ringlete

    $$

    There's simply no better place to try local Vallecaucana cuisine than from the hands of talented chef Martha Jaramillo, in this colorful, restored home. Many of her recipes are built on those of her grandparents and are slow cooked with rich, wholesome flavors like the classic arroz atollado (sticky rice with various meats) or the cola endiablado (beer-braised oxtail spiced up with three local chilies). Wash it all down with a lulada.

  • 4. Antigua Contemporanea Cafe

    $$$

    This delightful café is set inside a restored colonial home–cum–wildly eclectic interior-design store with items that range from Buddhas to desk lamps. Dishes are light and mainly Mediterranean; come for juices or coffee and something sweet during the day. In the evening, the space takes on a romantic vibe, with live music on weekends. Flowing white curtains separate the tables, adding to the feeling of having been whisked away to another place entirely.

  • 5. El Falso Olivo

    $$$

    A good wine list and professional, amiable staff make El Falso Olivo the city’s best choice for international flavors. Bathed in light from floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook a plant-filled patio, this contemporary Mediterranean bistro has high ceilings with long pendant lights, wood paneling, and polished cement flooring that complete the sleek modern aesthetic. The menu is distinctly Iberian, with tapas style-dishes like crispy polenta, Andalusian gazpacho, or pulpo a la gallega (tender octopus in olive oil and paprika), but don’t miss the sublime fish mains or the tender ribs or lamb.
