Orégano Restaurante Bar - Guatapé — Restaurant in Guatapé

As far as Italians go this place is not bad! The calamari to start was really nice and not overdone - the batter was crispy and the sauce was amazing. I had the seafood pasta which was definitely homemade so bonus points, the sauce was delicious and loved the king prawns / mussels - some of the other seafood was a bit rubbery so would have preferred more mussels and prawns over the variety of squid etc. Cocktails were well made and I tried the steak which was very tender and well cooked - the little potatoes that come with the steak are like little pillows - crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, yum! Slightly on the pricer side compared to some places in town but found Guatapé in general more expensive compared to the neighbouring towns (to be expected with so much tourism). We went during quiet season and were the only people there - it's a big restaurant so probably don't...

The best restaurant by VERY far in Guatape. The chef, a former 2 Michelin stars restaurant employee, know his stuff. First time I ate a tartare steak in Colombia and it might be the best i have ever had... All dishes are fantastic with products chosen carefully, intense flavors, great techniques and impeccable service. The wine list could be more generous but guess sales of wine are not supporting that idea, which is not a surprise in a small place like Guatape... Overall an amazing experience for a very decent price. Compliments...

The service was good and the terrace has a really nice view, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite meet expectations. There weren’t many vegan or vegetarian options, which made it a bit tricky to order.

I ended up getting the pizza, but the cheese had a strange taste that reminded me of cheap cheese. I couldn’t finish it.

It’s also more expensive than other places in the area, so overall, I wouldn’t go back. The view and service were nice, but the food just wasn’t...
