The Restaurant

El Chato, a contemporary Colombian bistro in Bogotá, is helmed by chef Álvaro Clavijo. The restaurant distinguishes itself through a commitment to local producers and the use of fresh, regional ingredients, celebrating the richness of Colombian soil. Clavijo's culinary journey began at the Hofmann School of Hospitality in Barcelona and continued at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. His experience in Michelin-starred restaurants across Paris, New York, and Copenhagen has shaped a style that marries European discipline with Latin creativity. El Chato earned a place on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list, ranking 25th in 2024. While El Chato does not currently hold any Michelin stars, it is considered a must-visit destination for gastronomes seeking an accessible and relaxed culinary adventure.
