<p>One of the most stiking bars in Parque Lleras, Bijao mixes contemporary design with natural elements to create a subtle blend of modern aspects with nature.  With three floors to choose from, each with it&#8217;s own personality and an excellent fusion menu this restaurant tops the list of the best places to eat in Medellin.  On his trip to Medellin, Anthony Bourdain also chose this restaurant to dine and was full of praise for it&#8217;s chef, 31 year old Andre Mikail Lopez who after many years of experience in some of the top hotels  and restaurants in the country and now manages the creative aspect of the menu.</p>
<p>Bijao reaches its impressive quality and design of open spaces that give the diner a feeling of being in a natural park, while enjoying delicious and innovative Latin cuisine.  The New Latin cuisine concept is based on the recognition of the traditional flavors of Latin American cuisine blended with new combinations and methods of preparation enriched with typical ingredients.</p>

The name is Ajiacos y Mondongos and it delivers on it&#8217;s name. On the menu are just three dishes, Ajiacos, Mondogos and Cazuela but what they lack in variety they more than make up for in ambiance and flavour.</p>
<p>So famous are it&#8217;s delicious home recipes that the rich and famous of Medellin have been coming here for lunch since it opened and have left their glowing remarks written for all to see on the walls of the restaurant alongside the celebrity photos.  Even the President himself has graced the establishment.</p>
<p>One of the best parts of this dining experience is that the service is super fast, even when it&#8217;s full, and a lunch will set you back less than $10 and leave you feeling very satisfied.  The small rooms, tables and chairs just add to the eclectic atmosphere of the establishment and it&#8217;s one of Medellin true dining experiences.</p>
<p>In a city not renowned for it&#8217;s food, this is one place where they have got it right, and sticking to tradition has rightfully earned them the reputation as the best local food in the city.</p>
<p>Calle 8 # 42 -71 Reservations: 266 5505 (reservations not required, just walk in)</p>
<p>Monday to Friday 12:00PM to 3:30PM (Lunch Only)</p>
