The Oriente
Easily the most charming place in town, this blue casita is all ambience, from the twinkling porch lights to the stuffed red-leather armchairs. Come to chill with tablas (cutting boards) of meat and cheese and yuca (cassava) fries. There’s live Andean music here at weekends, making it the town’s best entertainment option, too.
The drink menu gets creative, with herbal aphrodisiacs and hueso de chuchuguazo (a root mixed with rum).
