Thai Terrace — Restaurant in Guatapé

Be patient! Your meal is worth the wait- on weekends this restaurant can be busy! We stayed at the Lake View Hostel, and the restaurant is on the 3rd floor. Therefore we were able to enjoy a few different breakfast options (Chef's omelette, breakfast burrito and the Paisa Breakfast)- all delicious and generous portions- not to mention the morning view from the restaurant balcony is amazing!

Not open for lunch, we enjoyed a few dinners. The first night we made it in time for happy hour (5:30pm-7:30pm), enjoying a free Dragon shot with our cocktails (Elephant and Thai Tonic)...the chef trained exclusively in Thai Cuisine, and it is evident in the flavors of the dishes. The Pad Thai was bursting with spices and peanuts. The Tom Kha Gai Soup was a great balance of spice, coconut and lime. Full of powerful spice (both herbal and hot) the Pad Kee Mao (Fiedeos Borrachos) was a filling dish with...

So what’s with the Pad Thai!? I was curious reading the reviews and people say it was either THE BEST or WORST pad thai they ever had. Naturally I had to try it! First off, it’s a cute restaurant on top of a hostel. The staff are really friendly and speak good English. Try and profit from their Happy Hour from 6-7:30. Their starters were amazing! We had crispy spring rolls, fresh spring rolls and chicken satay. All perfect! And the Pad Thai….yes it was in the saltier side as someone mentioned, but not too much! You can choose between chicken/shrimp and vegetable, and the chicken/shrimp one was really good! It didn’t come with tofu which I appreciated! (Soy no es buena…) So, for 3 drinks, 3 starters and 2 main dishes we paid 150mil cop, which is also not overpriced! If I go again, I’d ask for some chili or spices to but I’ll definitely keep the place in good memory! Alexandra...

Worst Thai food ever. A huge insult to Thai cuisine. The only people liking this are people who never had Thai food and maybe farmers too. The “pad Thai” is a Colombian version with crazy salt and much too sweet sauce. The chicken too big and shrimp just not done well. Why was there only 1/4 of the noodles there? Like what? At least give us some carbs.

Its probably the worst Thai food I’ve ever had. I’ve eaten Thai at hundreds of restaurants all over the world. And yes been in Thailand as well. I was starving and still ate it. Donnow why it’s priced at 40+k should be 30 at most.

Edit: I tried the chicken fried rice and it was an absolute disaster. 😅😅😅😅😊 Also very salty and almost no rice in it. 😅😅😅 Also completely didn’t taste Thai. Also no panden rice. Also no big unions. A complete and total disaster. Who created this? Not...
