Cafe Jesus Martin

Reviewed By Nelson G

Although the service quality may vary, this is one of the best coffee in Quindío because of their product and their talented baristas. Such a loving organization, great effort. Please, improve the service of some of their baristas and that's it!

Thank you to Jonny and the rest of the team for a lovely, warming meal and good drinks! Amazing selection of all drinks and English beers. Amazing layout of restaurant.
Came here last night and shared this heart-attack equvilant of a mixed grill. On a bed of fries and soft baby potatoes with yucca, rare beef, yummy pork, moist chicken and lovely chorizo. With lots of lime and chimichurri sauce. 44,000 split between two

We thought that we could have lunch over here, but the menu has not so much choice. So, we drink a lassi. The lassi tasted like ginger, not our favored taste.

Mojiteria

Reviewed By CaitDublin_Ireland - Dublin, Ireland

I had the passionfruit mojito without sugar and it was absolutely delicious-19,000COP. The bar is small but full of character and the waiter cum bartender was great. They have karaoke some nights if you're into that?Gracias

Brunch de Salento

Brunch has been opened almost six years, we are an international restaurant, we offer many types of food, vegetarian, Indian, Mexican, Italian, Belgian, we offer fresh salads, soups (gluten free) and vegetarian soups and meat soups served in fresh baked bread bowls, we also offer Vegan options.<br>I am from the U.S.A , a typical restaurant in the U.S.A is much international because the people come from around the world and for 45 years those are the people I learned to cook from.<br>From the very beginning this restaurant I have had my guests sign and leave messages on my walls(you can see on my website) this has been the original tradition here at Brunch because I wanted to know why people are here and where you come from this is something i have done in my other restaurants as well.<br>The great staff here have always loved giving you information on what to do here in Salento and beyond (in English or Spanish)this has been our tradition since we opened, we can line you up any activity.

Wow we missed food from home and boy did this place deliver. Incredible burritos, salads, burgers, fries, milkshakes. Oh my the milkshakes are to die for. This restaurant will not disappoint. We went 3 times in our stay in Salento. The staff was really friendly, most spoke English, and were a wealth of knowledge for the area. They make almond/peanut that was really good and we bought for a backpacking trip.

El rincon de Lucy

Reviewed By tkramer1105 - DE

We enjoyed the local and basic atmosphere in this restaurant quite much. The restaurant does provide a fixed dish with some possible choices (trout vs. chicken / vegetables vs. beans vs. potatoes...). The price for soup, main and lemonade was 8000 COP. Very good deal and you won’t go hungry. Were here twice and would still go again

Donde Laurita

Reviewed By Jenny L - Greater Wellington, New Zealand

We visited the address and we're told by some locals that this restaurant had closed down. Although it appears to be a going concern online, it was shut the night we went and had been shut for a number of nights. Not sure if it is closed indefinitely or whether the owner is just having some time off.

Cafe Jesus Martin

Reviewed By DoraGirl24 - Boston, Massachusetts

The coffee here is spectacular, and the staff is friendly and the cafe is cozy and comfortable. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable about the beans they sold, as well, and helped us purchase exactly what we wanted.
We weren't impressed with the selection of pastries, but came in primarily for the coffee.

Reviewed By Tom F - London, United Kingdom

We went to this restaurant two nights in a row during our stay in Salento. Everything was brilliant, the service was fast and polite, the wine and the food was incredible, especially the Salmon and Filet Mignon. They didn’t have the burger or Octopus either night which wasn’t a problem for us but it seems to be a regular occurrence!
