Leo
My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Leo during our trip to Colombia, and it was quite an experience. Being ranked as one of the top fifty restaurants in the world, we had high expectations, and Leo did not disappoint. The fact that it also boasts a top 100 rated bar only added to the allure.
Upon arrival, we were delighted to discover that Leo offers two separate six-course tasting menus. Since we couldn't decide on just one, we opted for one of each, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision. We also decided to go for the cocktail pairing, and it was a great choice to sample their cocktail menu.
The presentation of each dish was a work of art, as one would expect from a top-tier restaurant. The attention to detail was extraordinary, and the plating made every course a feast for the eyes before it even touched our taste buds. Surprisingly, the portions were quite large and filling.
One of the standout moments was the opening cocktail, which came with mussel foam and fake caviar beautifully presented on a mussel shell. It was a unique and delightful way to set the tone for the meal.
I must make a special mention of the bread and palm fruit butter that accompanied the meal. It might sound simple, but it was, without a doubt, the best bread I've ever had in my life. The combination of flavors was simply heavenly.
The cocktail pairing was a great way to explore a variety of flavors from their menu, but a couple of the offerings might not suit those who prefer to stick to specific liquors. However, if you are open to trying new and exciting blends, it will be a treat.
In conclusion, Leo provided us with a great fine dining experience, and we left with full stomachs. The impeccable service, the skillfully crafted dishes, and the creative cocktails all contributed to making this a night to remember. If you find yourself in Colombia, do not miss the chance to dine at Leo – it's an absolute must-visit for any food enthusiast.
