One of the best restaurants I’ve eaten at in my life. Definitively the best I’ve eaten at in Latin America so far after 7 months of traveling. My girlfriend and I were blown away by the creative dishes, the flavor, the presentation, the ambiance, and the attention to detail at every step. They blend high quality ingredients in unique combinations, and the food is fantastically rich. We ordered 4 tapas, and Lulo+Piña+Mandarin Frappés. The tapas were: Marrinitas - pork and white corn balls, served with homemade mayonnaise with herbs, parsley, and queso fresco Croquetas de Yuca - breaded Yuca with double cream cheese in the middle, served with a sauce of caramelizada sweet peppers and herbed sour cream Berenjenas de Finca (Eggplant from the(ir) Farm)- paprika oil, with eggplant on baguette, topped with caramelizada onion and local goat cheese Choripan (chorizo bread) - baguette with Chorizo Santarrosano topped caramelizad onion and chimichurri, and lime for flavor These dishes were decadent and i savored each bite. We are planning to come back again to try more and the most insane part is that this meal was only 63,000 COP ($21 USD) with tip included. Absolutely stunning. Skip Salento and come to Filandia.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at "Helena Adentro" during my visit to Filandia, and I must say that it was a truly memorable experience. The restaurant is housed in a charming old building, which has been beautifully renovated to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu at Helena Adentro features a variety of traditional Colombian dishes, with a modern twist. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. Our server Andres was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. He was also attentive and personable, which added to the overall enjoyable atmosphere of the restaurant. The ambiance of Helena Adentro was also noteworthy. The rustic decor and cozy lighting made for a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends. Overall, I highly recommend Helena Adentro for anyone looking for delicious food, excellent service, and a charming ambiance. And don't forget to try the slow cooked ribs!

Positives are the view is excellent. The pork and corn balls were very tasty. The drinks were unique and were fairly delicious. The negatives were the description of the "sirloin" was false as it was definitely not a sirloin, more like what North Americans call roast beef or pot roast and not very favorable at that. I have had sirloin about seven times in Columbia. It has always been like a steak. Never like shredded beef. Not even in the same cut of beef from the cow. See pictures. Maybe they mistranslated the menu and this is what the restaurant considers sirloin but it is not a steak. Definitely disappointed in the steak, especially for the high relative prices of all the food and drink items. The staff was initially very prompt and focused. After serving, they never returned as they were too busy talking and laughing with each other. The menu shows that the water is free yet we were charged for it. Not a huge deal other than another misrepresentation. Overall, the view is very nice but I did not enjoy my meal. Those who say this is like a Michelin starred restaurant must not have ever been to one or are paid by the restaurant to say something nice. It is an average ambience restaurant with slightly above average food, and average staff. I do not recommend. Sorry.

6.5 out of 10 - @theveggiesloth Modern restaurant in Filandia. Depending on the table you are place on you might have good views of the village. Beautiful decoration, music was too loud and quick, not ideal for having a conversation with friend or chilling while enjoying the food. Quality of the food was quite good, I was positively surprised by the yuca croquettes - it was a classic modernised by the sauces that comes with the dish 10/10. The green salad was good, however I would add a little bit more of greens and less almonds to make the perfect balance. Finally, aubergine tapa was good but it had too much caramelised onion, I would reduce it a little bit so the flavour of the aubergine stands out. Overall, the experience was good, service was friendly and fast but was a little bit pricey for the quality and amount of the dishes. I would recommend if you are looking for something different than typical Colombian food.

Absolutely gorgeous food! Delicious drinks. Nice décor. The staff were friendly. Great atmosphere. Turn up early for your reservation to spend some time looking at the view from outside the restaurant! We had: The yucca croquettes (crispy, tasty, hit the spot) Aubergine/eggplant on a baguette (very tasty, the goats cheese complimented the sweet onions so well! The bread could have been slightly less toasted but overall this was our favourite dish) The trucha (Nice crispy flakes on top added good texture) The arepas (the salsa that came with these was absolutely delicious - we could have done with a second dish of it! Probably the most enjoyable arepa I've encountered) The pork belly salad (the orange pieces were lovely and juicy, some pieces of meat were a little tough but overall very tasty). We really enjoyed our dinner at Helena.

This restaurant is simply better than many Michelin starred restaurants across the world. This place is an explosion of taste, colors and an enchanting staff that just makes you want to order everything that is on the menu. A special remark goes towards their extraordinary selection of cocktails. Here, you will find dishes that are suitable for vegetarian or people with other allergies like gluten or lactose. To top it all up, you can eat facing a beautiful view of the valley. This is clearly one of my favorite restaurants in the world and would love to be able to come back! If you are in the area, make sure you don’t miss on the opportunity to discover great, local ingredient, creative and wonderful food. Highly recommended!!
