A historic bakery founded in 1936 and with delicious breads that are a must. P.S: If you get hot chocolate there, it is a must to put the cheese inside. Don't forget to order only one tamal. The Colombian tamales are bigger than the ones you are used to.
The name of the restaurant translates to “The False Door.” When it first opened, La Puerta Falsa had no name, it was just a hole in the wall for hungry passersby's. But across the street from the snack shop was a false door set into the side of the Catedral Primada. This door served to confuse any would-be assailants in times of war or turmoil, and was a notable feature in the street. So locals began to refer to the increasingly popular eatery as “the place near the false door,” which in time simply became La Puerta Falsa. P.S: If you get chocolate there it is a must to put the cheese inside. This drink is not done with milk and is really good.
For the ones with a more refine palate we have this restaurant from two Michelin star chef Juan Manuel Barrientos.
