Lunch at Tinteo

We chose a traditional Colombian restaurant with a pleasant courtyard so that we could enjoy the sunshine. We decided to order three appetisers to share as we didn't want a full meal. We are already learning that portion sizes here are generally huge and heavily carb-based!

We ordered Patacon con Hogao, corn bases topped with mashed plantain, grated cheese, and aji picante - sounds weird, but they tasted surprisingly good! We also had beef and cheese empanadas, and Chicharron con Papa Criotta, pork pieces with yellow potatoes which were very floury and dry. I would have liked a salad, but there were none on the menu 😀.

Needless to say, we were very full after lunch and didn't need to eat for the rest of the day!

We returned to the hostel and spent the evening on the roof editing photos and writing posts.Read more
