My wife and I just finished lunch at Paella de Pedro Palmer. The dining experience was marvelous. We arguably enjoyed some of the best Spanish cuisine outside of Catalonia. La Paella de Pedro Palmer is a labor love for its namesake, Pedro Palmer. Pedro is somewhat of a culinary celebrity in greater Medellin. He has opened several Spanish restaurants over the years with locations ranging from Barrio Manila in Medellin to the countryside of El Oriente and now at Mall Puerto Bulevar in Llanogrande (10 minutes from Jose Maria Cordova International Airport and directly under the final approach to the airport).I am partial to fideua and my wife, paella. I ordered Fideua Marinera (seafood), and my wife... the Paella Valencia (chicken, pork and chorizo). The portions were not only "over the top"... but super generous as well. If it were not for the soccer match between Colombia and Paraguay today, I believe this restaurant would have been packed. The service is both personal and attentive... even the maestro himself came out from the kitchen to make sure we were happy with his work of art. The feast set us back only 95,000 pesos (or $29 US) all-in. There is a minimum 2-person portion for paella and fideua. This is pretty darn good value, and an affordable treat for two. We only live about 12 minutes from La Paella de Pedro Palmer, and from now on, this wonderful restaurant will be on our monthly rotation of restaurants in El Oriente.It goes without saying, Paella de Pedro Palmer is highly recommended for an enjoyable culinary experience. Close to the airport, this restaurant is an excellent spot for a gourmet lunch or dinner before or after your flight.

This delightful restaurant is situated in the beautiful countryside between Rionegro and the pueblo, La Ceja. Last Sunday, we met a couple of friends at Filemon to celebrate "The Day of the Woman." Our dining experience at this cozy parrilla was a pleasant surprise. Great food + excellent service + reasonable prices = Outstanding value.We made reservations for 1:00 pm, and when we arrived the dining room was virtually empty. By the time our friends arrived 15 minutes later, it was filled to capacity. (I guess everyone had the same idea.) The restaurant offers a beautiful vista of the countryside. The dining room is comfortable, cozy and conducive to convivial dining among families and friends. Filemon offers a variety of beef, pork and chicken prepared over a charcoal fire. The meat is excellent quality and aged to perfection before the chefs at Filemon perform their magic. As far as beef goes, the menu offers both standard and premium cuts. (The premium cuts are extra thick and comparable to USDA quality). A typical grilled beef dish will run about 27,000 pesos ($8.50 US) while the extra thick cut beef selections are priced at 36,000 pesos ($11.50 US). The portions are generous, too.I ordered the BBQ ribs which set me back 23,000 pesos ($7.00 US). The portion was not quite a full rack of ribs, but more than half. My ribs were tasty and fall-off-the-bone tender. They were excellent in every respect and among the best ribs I have eaten in El Oriente. I would not classify them as babyback, but they were still just as tender and tasty. I also finished up my wife's pepper steak which was excellent. It was not as tender as I am used to, but it passed muster. Garden salad and a choice of potato accompanies each meal. Fried plantain chips are served as a complimentary entree. For those who are still hungry after their meal, a dessert selection is available. The bar offers a selection of soft drinks, juices, beer, liquor and international wines. The service at Filemon is both warm and professional. Our waiter, Jorge, was on top of his game and tended to our every need and request. Excellent WIFI Internet is available in the dining room. Filemon Parrilla is highly recommended and one of the best values in El Oriente for a great meal.

If you like good arepas then come here. I had a terrible arepa in a supposedly good place. Here they have tasty fillings and sauces so you can't go wrong. Highly recommended.

We have driven by this restaurant numerous times and yesterday needed a place to eat and decided to drop in. The restaurant is open and decorated nicely with a fireplace in the back and water falls with gold fish below. There is a covered area outside as well as outdoor tables under umbrellas. We were seated immediately and greeted by a waitress. We order a soda water (3000 COP) and juice of lemons and coconut (8000 COP) . It took quite a while for the juice and water. We then ordered the trout with shrimp for 28,000 COP and a Peru Ceviche for 22,000 COP. The drinks came out after were ordered the food and were good. The Ceviche was white fish with avocado slices but no corn so I don't know why they called it Peruvian. The trout with shrimp were nothing special and barely warm. The shrimp were very small as was the trout fillet. The tostone or fried plantain was shredded and original in design but cold. It came with a small salad and the bottom of the lettice was dripping wet with water. All in all the restaurant is nice and airy in design and the service was good but the food was mediocre at best.

We had a wonderful lunch today at Orzo. The restaurant is located at the Mall Puerto Bulevar, a place with many good dining options.Orzo is quite small, a few tables, nicely decorated, with simple, modern furniture, and if you like sports, they have a large screen (for the men in my life, this is always a very attractive feature in a restaurant!).The first thing they brought us was a little plate with four different bread rolls, baked from scratch using "masa madre", a dough that does not use yeast, with whipped butter. The rolls were warm and delicious! I would go back to Orzo only for this four amazing bread bites.We really liked all our food. I already mentioned the spectacular bread! The baked crimini mushrooms, Caesar salad, creative nachos made with toasted lasagna noodles, all very good. But the Beef Tenderloin with three types of peppercorns, that was outstanding. Perfectly seared, cooked exactly at the temperature we ordered (medium), excellent sauce, a serving of orzo pasta, honoring the name of the restaurant, and a few leaves of fresh lettuce. For dessert, a moist chocolate layer cake served with vanilla ice cream. A perfect meal.The tables are under a roof but in the open air, which is very pleasant in Rionegro.Only one comment: I read on the internet that the chef uses products from their own orchard. That is a very attractive detail that should be highlighted!

We had a really nice lunch at Brasas. Service is excellent, our server was helpful and friendly.We ordered different steak dishes, all of them really good. I had a Solomito with a wine and mushroom sauce and loved it! For dessert we tried a Flor de Jamaica Milonga, like a little typical pastry. A wonderful sweet bite to end our meal.
