Bakuru Restaurante Pacifico — Restaurant in Quindío

I can’t say enough positive things about the experience here. While the menu is not extensive, every item is well-executed using delicious, fresh ingredients. Everyone of our party enjoyed their main dish.

We were a bit worried initially as the restaurant closes at 8 pm and we had a 7:30 pm reservation. We have had experiences in other restaurants where we have not been given an opportunity to order main dishes before the kitchen closed. However, once we were seated and had placed our drinks order the server could not have been more attentive. We did not feel rushed and we thoroughly enjoyed each of our three courses. The shrimp ceviche and tuna “chicharrón” appetizers were a hit and easily shared amongst the table. Main dishes were a 10/10 and large enough to share between two people.

I would highly recommend the calamari, tuna ceviche and soup appetizers. All of the entrees we ordered far surpassed our expectations. The meal was finished with an avocado and chocolate popsicle, some sort of coconut bon bons and a corn cake in a sweetened milk sauce. Every dish was plated beautifully and the drinks were served in unique upcycled glasses on a wooden base. The best meal we had travelling in the...

This place is a true gem! The tables, water and beer glasses, and table decoration are handcrafted, and you’re surrounded by photographs of the region that inspires the food - taken by the chef himself. And the food is outstanding! We had 2 ceviches, the camaron cream, patacones with shrimp covered in coconut, followed by a vegan tropical main dish, a seafood stew and pork ribs. We couldn’t resist getting two desserts which were a wonderful end to the already great evening! Every single dish was an explosion of taste and you feel like having visited the northern region of Bahia Solano. This place was an incredible discovery for us! Please do yourself a favor and go there if you’re in Armenia! Thank you Tatiana for an...
