Los Geranios is across from the fort (Battilon sp?) near Milan in Manizales.They have typical Colombia dishes all done very well. The service is great. The owners are almost always there making sure you have a pleasant meal. Not fancy but clean and comfortable.

This a local bar where you can seat right inside of an airplane (I guess is a Boeing 727) and share a great experience with friends in the Manizales nite with a wonderful view of the city well above of the "sky". Please fasten your belt before "take off".

At first, we were marveled by the ambiance: simple but chic, bright and cozy... the kitchen is not hidden behind a wall, but open behind a large glass window so you can actually see what's "cooking" inside.Every step of the meal is innovative: from the hand-towel given to you to clean your hands at sitting, through the welcome infusion cocktail of a marvelous turquoise colour, to the final misty farewell meringue.We didn't have an appetizer, although they seemed delicious, but rather the main course, which was delicious... not too large as in common restaurants, nor too small as in exaggerated Michelin-style want-to-be's. It was just right.The flavours were fantastic.A truly new cuisine innovating experience!

I was amazed by the presentation of the food. Employees were very friendly. Good option for the lunch. I asked for meat, well they had only 2 options for beef, but the one I asked was really tasty. Every plate you can see that they pay a lot of attention to present it very well

Great food and great wait staff. Waitress spoke English and was eager to "practice" with us. Warm environment with inside and outside seating.

Here, the mixology and gastronomy are mixed in a place that is at your height. Come and visit the city of the open doors in a different way, and dare to discover our 360 view, and the classic sunsets of our city, almost at the same altitude!

The worst service I have ever experienced in my life. They did not even want to bring water to all my guests after they cried I have to pay for tap water which i don't care it's a surprise 40th birthday we are all trying to have a good time. Asked for the servers to walk around and get everyone's drink order and still they did not. They have no clue about service, its absurd. Would never return because of how horrible they just are at service and attitude. Thanks for nothing rooftop azotea yiu guys are a joke.Buen dÃa Konrad, saludos.Como lo explicamos en las respuestas anteriores, queremos dejar bastante clara la cuestión más importante de este caso, y es que el respeto a nuestro personal es primero, no se discute y es inamovible bajo cualquier motivo, pues su bienestar, como el de los clientes, también es 100% nuestra prioridad.Tu actitud no fue la adecuada, y no basta con excusarse por el tema cultural; porque asà sonemos reiterativos, el respeto por el otro en un principio universal; y agredir verbal y fÃsicamente a alguien, es algo que simplemente NO va con nuestra polÃtica de servicio tanto como organización, y como personas.También queremos dejar claro que el tema del agua y las bebidas de más fue un malentendido: Por polÃticas internas, no obsequiamos el agua, la vendemos en la presentación de la botella; y desde el principio, la orden del servicio estaba establecida acorde a la señorita que pidió la cotización del evento, nosotros intentamos explicar eso de la manera más educada, pues sà querÃamos vender otros productos de nuestra carta, pero intentamos dar a entender que estos mismos serÃan cobrados de manera separada.Gracias por la atención Konrad.

We stopped in here (I believe after reading some trip advisor reviews) for some beer and snacks. We ordered some arepa and some fried snacks. The fried things came first and they tasted like they came from a packaged frozen processed plant - terrible. Then came an Arepa - wow, cardboard with some bad BBQ sauce on it. We took one small bite, and grabbed our drinks and paid the bill and took off as fast as we could. Don't make our mistake, skip this stop.

I visited this establishment based on the great reviews; actually we bypassed a recommendation from the hotel, to dine here. I need to emphasize that the service was 1st class; the waitress was very professional and wanting to please us. However, the food was not up to par. The pork loin was over cooked, and the Pat Thai, was good, but the sauce was a bit too sweet. One thing that I would like to point out, the waitress asked for our opinion on the food and received the critic very well and passed it to the kitchen. I have to give them kudos for that. Maybe it was a bad day, but in the restaurant business you have to be on point always. I canât recommend it.

Having been to Manizales every year for the last 14 years, we have tried basically all the old and new restaurants in this âSan Francisco cityâ of Colombia. A friend recommends this relatively newcomer. Basically a hole in the wall operation with maybe 10 tables maximum. Skeptical at first but with 5 stars rating and 90 reviews, it is an excellent risk.Was escorted to a cozy patio/garden table. Andres (flaco) and Vanessa were very accommodating with the portable heater for a chilly night. Started off with the freshest ceviche I ever tasted. The lime juice was not overbearing as most places. The shrimps and squids were crunchy. The salad with roast beef was amazing. Fresh mixed greens are quality of what you get in the States. The roast beef accents are perfect companion. It can be a meal in itself. Since the menu changes every 3 months, most of the meal photos from TripAdvisor are no longer valid. My pacero ordered the steaks. I went with the grilled octopus over potatoes. The steaks are quality !!!! Perfectly cooked medium rare. It was tender not like the chewy meat at Il Forno. My squid was decent. It can use another 5-10 minutes on the grill. I like mine a little crunchy with more smoke flavor. Overall, we were very satisfied with our meal.We ordered desert due to recommendations from other travelers. The almond croissants were near ecstasy. Wow. The chocolate cake was interesting with crunchy creamy crust. The services were outstanding. We had Veronica and 2 Andres that served us. Spectacular attention for a busy night. Chef Pablo assembled a fabulous team.All of this was less than $45, including tips. Something like this in the States would be in the $90+.We are returning in 2 days since the feria starts tomorrow. Please keep this place a secret. Great job Chef Pablo.
