The food is amazing!!!

Best French food

The staff are attentive and friendly. The goat cheese salad was probably the best salad I have ever had! The passion fruit creme brûlée was delightful. I think I need to come back tomorrow to try something else!

They have the best duck dish I've ever had. The pork was also delicious. We enjoyed the place and the people serving us. Great for a romantic date

Went there for lunch after a trip to the Cerro Monserrate. We had the duck and lamb. Cooked to perfection. Staff speaks English, Spanish and French(I think). They don't have a set menu since I think they are regularly changed. Entries cost 25-40 cop while aps cost 10-20 cop. This spot is a must visit!

WOW! Fantastic cuisine. The ratatouille killed it! The cerdo tasted great and the "club colombia" was as cold as it should be. Came here through a recommendation from the Bogota Graffiti Tour. Thanks!

Had an amazing meal! Decor is great and food even better. A must do in Bogota! Damian, the owner, and Raul are amazing hosts.

Amazing Food! Simple and to the point but beware the changing mani with o my 5 options different every day based on what's is available. Local hangout for foreigners

My favorite restaurant in Bogota. Can't beat French-Colombian Tapas. Friendly service and seasonal fresh food. La Comida es mejor! 💖

Amazing service, awesome food, Chef Damian and team cooked perfect, thank you for the experience provided

Delicious French food at a very affordable price. Very friendly staff, nice setting, good location. Strongly recommend for a nice lunch!

Great french food, great wine, great serice, at a great price

Extremely good food, though it's a bit pricer than others it's very laid back and relatively quick.

Really nice little find, with a rotating French menu. Friendly staff. Gets a bit crowded but worth it.

Excellent food, local ingredients, French cousin, outstanding service. Cozy and comfortable.

Really unique, delicious food featuring local ingredients. Service was excellent.

I love the food. It's such a nice space to do business and share with close people.

The lamb was phenomenal! Staff was amazing. Great place, we went two days in a row!

One of the best restaurants in the area. Wonderful service and a great place!

Fantastic food and extremely good staff. Excellent value for money.

Great French vibes!

Amazing food, super nice ingridients, nothing to complain about at all...

Delicious food, lovely service and excellent prices.

An absolute delight ! Superb local products cooked with love and in an down to earth style. The mere definition of simple greatness in a plate ... and in a glass. Food is gorgeous Wine is gorgeous Coffee is gorgeous Service is gorgeous The charming deco and super friendly and knowledgeable staff only adds to this already amazing experience ... A true gem !

The food is immaculately presented and the flavours of the dish equally as exquisite.

The food is amazing and so is the service. I highly recommend the lamb and the creme brulee. The coffee is also very good. Very reasonable prices for such high quality food. Please try this restaurant.

We stopped here for our evening meal even though the restaurant closed at 4 pm. The owner served, Erik, and he was a very kind and hospitable man. We had the selections from the daily menu of the day. We started with appetizers. Two soups, I selected the onion soup, and my partner had baked brie. There were a few other appetizers,including a duck pate. There were five entrees to choose from and I selected the Angus beef medium rare. It was fantastic, included potatoes and vegetables. My partner had Quinoa, with seasonal vegetables. All the vegetables were fresh, favorable and sweet. 3 glasses of wine and 1 coca cola later was $63 Cdn. Would go back in a heart beat.

This place was recommended to us by our Graffiti Tour Guide Jay. The food is amazing and the staff is very friendly. You can't go wrong with this place!

Amazing food in a great location. The French music, the good and beautiful food transport you to a French bistro for your meal. Everything was amazing!

one of the best restaurants in la candelaria. divine ratatouille

Amazing. Outstanding. Delicious. A little expensive, but definitely a lovely experience for the right occasion. My favorite dish was the onion soup and the brie with blueberries. The main meat dishes as really delicious too. The chef I’d experienced and talented. Bravo!

Amazing restaurant with an even more amazing owner/chef. The salmon was literally incredible, possibly the best salmon I've ever had in my life. It was my friends birthday, and the owner really let us have our own section and take our time. He is a class act!!

I absolutely love this place. I go here every time I am in Bogota. 3 or 4 times over the last five years and it is always delicious.

Great food, slow but nice service. They know how to prepare good food and the servers put up a nice presention about the menu which seems to change daily as it lives on a chalk board only. What we didn't like was the wait between finishing our seconds and the waiter getting back to us - that was 15-20 minutes. Another 10 minutes after we finished our deserts to get the bill.

Have to try during your visit at La Candelaria! It’s delicious and welcoming. The owner / chef cooks authentic French cuisine with a touch of love.

I had one of my best meals in Bogotá at this restaurant. The owner/chef was so friendly and hospitable. You can tell he puts endless love into his menu and cooking. Everything was off-of-the-charts delicious!

Most wholesome and delicious french restaurant in town! The menu changes daily and each dish is crafted with ingredients proudly garnered from all over Colombia. We got the pleasure of being waited by the Cheff himself and his love and attention to detail simply made it the best table I've ever been waited on.

I absolutely fell in love with this restaurant, the experience, the absolute remarkable service, the decor and setting. I felt like I was taken back in time to a provincial town in France. The menu was outstanding and explained with passionate detail. The presentation was everything, from the floral arrangement to the ironed cloth napkins. The restaurant exploded with quaint genuine beauty. The owners/cooks/waiters were incredibly attentive. Thank you for the wonderful dinner and I hope I come back to Bogota soon just for this restaurant.

My god! What a treat! Incredible wine, food and service. Better than any French food I had in France! My shrimp flambé was prepared beautifully by Eric and his team. Highly recommended!

Absolutely delicious! We were headed to another restaurant, which was closed & walked around following our nose straight into Sant Just. This place is Just Wow! If you enjoy food from Colombia & from France, Sant Just put them together to create this infusion. We had the salmon & grilled lamb. Both were exceptional with balanced flavors. The portions are generous. What's also cool is that they speak Spanish, French & English. Our server was amazing & explained each dish in great detail. BE Adventure Partners highly recommend this place! Enjoy! p.s. We just rolled over 2 Million views on our Google Local Guides pictures! Thanks for viewing & we wish you the best during your travels! Until next time... Adventure On, Friends! Adventure On! - Brian + Erin

Impeccable French food in the heart of Bogotá. Great service as well. Strongly recommend.

Great little French restaurant in Bogota. The space is very chic with friendly staff and a laid back atmosphere. Food was of excellent quality and beautifully prepared. The menu changes almost daily, depending on availability of fresh ingredients. Good selection of wines and beers to.

We randomly found this place after climbing Monserrate. Well worth a stop. The food is very good, the presentation was amazing and the service fast - and all food arrived at the same time. To top it all off: they serve real French style bread, with a crunchy crust. A rare find in Colombia. We all had a main course and a drink for 50k pesos.

I'm French and it's been a while I didn't get such a delicately prepared food, it really felt like home. The place is nicely hidden and quiet, it's a real little heaven in the middle of Bogota...

Absolutely incredible food!!!

We went there for lunch. The food was amazing. The best dishes within our 30 days round trip in Columbia. The prices are a bit high but you get really good quality for it.

Amazing find. This place serves a mix of andian and french cuisine. Small establishment and only heard of it because of the grafiti tour, but we were very impressed with the food and service.

My favorite French place in Bogota. Gets easily crowded, which means between 1 and 2 p.m. is almost impossible to get a seat, but the very moment the seat is available it is easy to see why so many people goes there. Menu is ever changing due to the best ingredients available in the market, they make no compromise on quality just to keep a dish on the menu. Staff is friendly, prices are totally worth it. I tried the grilled lamb, served with stewed vegetables and mashed mashua; absolutely amazing, the cooking on the meat was exactly as desired and the vegetables with a few hints of pepper, combined with the not-so-common mashed mashua were the perfect side

French-Colombian Fusion – and It’s Amazing At the advice of our Bogotá Graffiti Tour guide, we headed to San Just for lunch – and what great advice that turned out to be! The owners have created a fusion of French and Colombian influences in the various dishes, which change frequently, based on what fresh ingredients are currently available. Located on a side street, the restaurant is unassuming in décor, but exceeds expectations in the food. The servers speak French, Spanish, and English, and are attentive to their customers. The restaurant is open for lunch on Monday-Wednesday and Saturday, as well as lunch and dinner on Thursday and Friday. I had the charcuterie plate, with freshly baked bread, pickled vegetables, and a green salad. Every bite was a burst of bright flavors!

Oh lala quelle bonne bouffe! All the food was fantastic with great combination of taste&flavor&texture and we have a lot of fun with the staff!

I will definitely be back! The food is fresh, wholesome and packed with flavor, all in a lovely setting.

It is a place very simple, but between the attention and the food, you will fill it out. The Creme Brulle is wonderful.

The cuisine is excellent, my expectations were met, by considering taste, quality, and display, Erick (French and owner) was attentive and open to provide recommendations. The atmosphere is good and cozy. This is real French experience at Bogota downtown.

Nice French food and friendly staff. A bit overpriced.

Nice food very creative. I didn't use the bathroom.

Great French food with local ingredients

Very interesting proposal in La Candelaria

french cuisine with local products

Great!

Ok

Well balanced food with some wicked touches. Good skill and preparation and big portion sizes. Great if you're looking for some typical French brasserie with a twist food in Bogota.

Strong four! Very nice place with good service and food. One of the lamb peaces where sadly reheated and very dry... Otherwise it would have been a five!

Tasty, fresh food! Ideally located for after the graffiti tour or a visit to Montserratte Hill.

Tasty food, but way too expensive for Bogota. The dish on the picture is Duck magret, it is a tasty one.

Delicious 😋 the lemonade is missing a bit if lemon but everything else was *al dente* and the service is super nice, you have the menu explained and receive as much as yo need and they have some vegetarians food too!

Our Graffiti tour guide recommended this place for lunch. The Lamb I got was delicious, if a bit fatty. Gravy was really tasty too. The onion soup was sweeter than I'm used to having it - I believe they added sugar.

Rara vez calificó bajito a los lugares, en especial a los de comidas. Ya que para mí es un momento fundamental, especialmente al celebrar la vida de mi padre. Y debo decir que aunque en la familia varios son amantes del picante; todo el menú de este día encontro al Cheff sumamente feliz y generoso con las pimienta, ya que hasta las sopas estuvieron sumamente picantes. No puedo negar que los colores de la comida eran muy atractivos, la atmósfera del lugar y si algo se lleva un reconocimiento por este medio, la atención! Las sonrisas recibidas cómo calidez y ternura al observar la reunión familiar de todas las edades. En conclusión, supongo que el Cheff tuvo un mal día, ya que en resto de reseñas alaban la comida. Como siempre la mejor invitación es a tener experiencias y disfrutar. Pd. La tarta deliciosa. Muy difícil de servir por falta de adhesión entre los frutos rojos.

Nice food . Ambiance not the best .

Great place and service. Tasty food but dishes are rather thin on the protein side. Definitely not a place for big meat eaters.

Over half an hour wait, so do reserve- once inside it wasn't very nice, rather a squatted-like alternative place, not my style. They had run out of several dishes and we didn't have any options. Side salad with the starters was very good, so was the rilletes. They only had lamb (I don't eat meat, really), that was good to share. At the end the card machine didn't work - I told them to have communicated that to us during the half hour wait... All in all I would not return but that's fine. People were very nice and I am sure that the onion soup would be spectacular.

It used to be great. Not anymore! Since the stepson of the previous owner thinks he can also cook (he used to do great service, now he does everything), the taste of the food has lost its great flavour, I am afraid. And it happened to us twice now, that we were offered more juice but not told that it would be charged...it feels like a rip-off, with prices like these.

Last year this place had inconsistent hours that they didn't adjust on listing, so we came twice when open but they were closed with paper sign. Now we got to attend as they are open, and maybe it was a poor day or our choice of food. One server was great, other was more "french", which is fine, it's a French restaurant. Spanish menu was easy to read and kind server detailed it in Spanish well. The Sopa de Cebolla was fine, thin on flavor and loaded with cheese. The Lomo Cerdo with ratatouille was sooooo dry it was hard to eat. The creme brulee was very water (hugely odd) and super sugary it was also hard to eat. Each next course kept arriving about ten minutes before we were done with current course, so by the time we finished each new meal was cold Seems some days food may be better, but from this we would never visit again 😭😭

Waited for more than 1 hour while they were serving those who came later than us...

terrible
