San Diego Restaurant
The Casa Vieja is a classic in the Colombian capital. Currently there are three of them open in the city (San Diego, on Avenue G and Jimenez) and they are all managed by its owners, the Jaramillo family. It is a very famous traditional restaurant and was founded in the 60s. It offers traditional Colombian cuisine, called "Creole cuisine." San Diego's restaurant is adjacent to the business center, so there you won´t find many tourists. Instead, you will find many Colombian businessmen. It is decorated in a rustic and antique style and has a beautiful courtyard. The waiters are dressed like peasants, and the music that is playing in the background is Colombian and very traditional.
The most typical food to be ordered there are the dumplings, the "melting pot" (strange soup with vegetables and chicken) and the "paisa" (beans with rice, ground beef, sausage, pork, fried egg, sweet plantain and avocado). The truth is, although the taste of this type of cuisine can be rare, it was all great (in fact it is considered one of the best restaurants in town).
