  1. El Chato

    Contemporary Colombian

    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    Álvaro Clavijo spent years in Paris, then at Per Se and Noma, and came home to open a bistro that feels nothing like any of that. El Chato is a contemporary Colombian restaurant in Chapinero Alto where the menu bends to whatever small producers are harvesting, sometimes because Clavijo asked them to grow it in the first place. It holds the top spot on Latin America's 50 Best and sits on the World's 50 Best list too, worn lightly in a room that stays relaxed and unfussy.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
