El Portal de Cocora

Just outside of Salento, this restaurant sits on the route leading to the Valle de Corcora. When we drove by on the way to the Valle de Cocora, we remarked how it must have amazing views so we were delighted when our travel companions for the day decided to have lunch there as well. Perched on top of a hill, the restaurant offers unobstructed views of the surrounding mountains and valley from both an indoor dining room and a large covered terrace.

Located in the traditional little village of Salento, Quindío, this restaurant was a unique find.

Wonderful choice not only for it's delicious food but also for the special attention of its owner.

This restaurant is a bit hard to find, but if you do find it, you won't be sorry. One of the best views in the world in my opinion. The food was very good, but I went with a group so I don't know the prices. It's one of the larger restaurants I ate at while in Colombia, but it was quite empty for lunch.

Good food, great view of the Cocora Valley. It is a very popular place, so it gets crowded and they may run out of certain items. The trucha was great, so were all the other things we ordered. The fruit tea was delicious. Definitely stop there if you are in Saliento. Good service too.
