Cali Viejo

Location:
Casona Vieja Bosque Municipal - 200 meters beyond the Zoo

Cali, Colombia

Restaurant

By Richard McColl

The City's premier location for dining out on Vallecaucano food is found in a sprawling finca built in 1870 along the River Cali and close to the city's zoo. With an musical trio wandering between tables playing traditional Colombian Andean music and waiting staff dressed as if from the 19the Century you'll be forgiven if you feel that you have stepped back in time. The food is typical of the region and is by no means cheap, but, that said, the helpings are enormous and the location is incredible and makes for a great meal out. Try the traditional Champus (Indian beverage prepare with corn meal, corn, pine apple, lulo, cinnamon and panela) and follow it with a hearty grill accompanied by a marranita – a little ball prepared with Pork rind and plantain.
