La Fogata — Restaurant in Guatapé

La Fogata was one of the best dining experiences we had during our trip to Guatapé! Located right by the water, the restaurant offers stunning lake views that perfectly complement the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The fish was cooked to perfection, and the portions were generous. They also have great drink options to enjoy while taking in the scenery.

Little note: the baby beef is perfect. The fillet mignon is huge - thread carefully 🤣

Don’t miss out on their natural juices, especially the ones with two mixed fruits — they’re refreshing, vibrant, and a highlight of the meal.

PS. Although not on the menu, ask for a side of tajada de plátano maduro (you won’t...

When time came to pay we were informed only cash was accepted. This was extremely frustrating as we were low on cash at the time and the cash exchange places were closed. Very deceiving and very unprofessional. Will not come to this establishment just...
