Le Grand Mamma 116 — Restaurant in Bogota, Capital District

The first time I went, I never got a chance to sit down. The place was nearly empty at 6 pm. I was alone, and they only offered me to sit on tables located in the main entrance corridor or at the bar. What can I say,I like to sit at a regular table in the main area, so the hosts ushered me out. I also asked what type of restaurant that was, since I've never been and the girl answered: "it's French, we have pizza and pasta." I would have instructed her to say it's French inspired, mentioned a couple of French dishes and added with international food," and would have offered another sitting option. The second time I went because my friends wanted to meet there. This time, we were in a group of 4. I spoke with the manager and told him about my previous experience. We had a Gin cocktail that tasted pretty well and ordered several appetizers to share. The grilled octopus was fabulous, as were the Raviolis. The artichoke was pretty dry and hardly had anything to eat on it. The beef tartar, which I didn't taste, was apparently good. All in all, the place seems ok. My friends said they had been there for breakfast and their experience wasn't good at all. Let's hope that with the feedback, we gave the manager the place gets better. I will not give it one more chance...

We were here for a quick spontaneous date night. We had some soup, ravioli and the truffled fries accompanied by some carafe of their house cocktail (gin, wine and berries). The service was not very attentive and looked always confused when we tried to talk to them (my husband is Colombian so there was no language problem). It was really not busy at this evening. We had to wait some time until someone greeted us and guided us to the hostes who was busy somewhere else but not the entrance. It took a while to get the bill as well. So the service was really surprisingly bad. The food and drinks on the other hand were very nice. The place is just one big room which makes it...

Update Sept. 2025

The service is “consistently” bad here. After dining in and placing orders to go as well. Several servers here lack quality and professionalism. Wrong items get delivered. Servers are often found casually speaking amongst themselves while the guests get neglected and overall quality declines. I just see a lack of mental alertness from several waitstaff here. Very unfortunate

They have a wonderful medialuna there. The closet I have come to getting the same in B.A.

At the time of this writing Aug. 2025, they charge $20mill for an Almond Croissant

That is simply...
