Andres Carne de Res

Even before in arriving in Bogota we were hearing about how we had to go to Andres! It has been on our list but we didn’t go until this past weekend. It is a wild restaurant about 40 mins outside of Bogota and to be honest I really can’t even begin to describe it! We took some pictures! It is Colombian food but the best of it! Seth had a steak that I think was the best since we arrived! The restaurant is HUGE…to give you an idea we heard that they have 400 servers! It’s a giant maze of different rooms decorated floor to ceiling! It would never be possible in the US because of our standards for fire safety! Jackson was so overloaded by the end of our lunch with all of the excitement!

Outdoor kids area with carpentry, painting, clay, ball area, puppets, face painting. If Jackson had been older it would have been amazing for him!

  5. Hi,

    Amazing place.

    I’m guessing that maybe the “little fruits that look like orange tomatoes” were kumquats:

  7. Aunt Susie,
    Funny you mention kumquats. Those are not actually but every orange fruit here that Seth doesn’t know he identifies as a kumquat.
