Bárbaro Cocina Primitiva
Open-fire cooking and serious steak — this is the place people cross the city for. Come hungry: the tomahawk is legendary, and everything touches live flame.
Jack Wings
Wings and ribs on Carrera 76, on the same block as Medallo and Pato2, with sauces from sweet to hot and a 2x1 on wings every Wednesday. Cra. 76 #33A-58. Mon–Sat noon–11pm, Sun and holidays 2–10pm.
Primavera Rooftop
A rooftop on the fourth floor of Carrera 76, under a canopy of blossom and neon that reads "we cook con alma, con fuego." Plates come out on hand-painted chargers, cocktails are poured at the table, and the terrace looks straight down onto the street. Same house as Carmela downstairs. Open from 1pm, until 11:30pm on weekends — worth booking.
Pato2
A pink-tiled burger house on Carrera 76 with a neon sign and a terrace among the plants: brioche buns, bacon, crispy onions, a blue cheese burger and a 2x1 burger deal every Wednesday. Cra. 76 #35-35, a few doors from Medallo. Tue–Thu and Sun 1–10pm, Fri–Sat 1–10:30pm.
Medallo Bakery House Deli
A bakery and pastry house on Carrera 76 with a glass case that stops you mid-sidewalk: pistachio pyramids, layered chocolate cakes and caramelized pears on puff pastry, plus fresh bread on the shelves and a bright pink-and-white room to sit in. Cra. 76 #35-20, open 7am to 9pm, so it works for breakfast or for dessert after dinner on the 76.
