This relatively new bakery shop serves delicious breakfast but also the best little cakes in town! Their pastries are all small, inviting you to try out different things. Believe us, absolutely amazing. Also really nice to sit down, or to work when bringing your laptop (wifi is good).

One of the best coffee shops of Medellín. Colombian coffee with a Belgian touch, since the owner of Cafe Velvet is a Belgian lady. The best coffee, nice pastries and a really nice place to relax and chat for a while. In the middle of El Poblado

Feeling into a burger? Then go to Chef Burger. Agreed by many locals: the best burgers in town. Willem's favorite is the Sailor Jerry, or take Lotte's, being the Mexican burger. The ambiance is nice and relaxt and the many plants and sound of the river makes it feel like you're in the jungle a bit. Sometimes they have live music as well, in the evening.

Delicious and amazing looking restaurant. They serve surprising meat, fish, pasta or risotto dishes and an amazing lasagns. Take the Choripán as a starter, absolutely delicious (Argentian bread with sausage, sounds basic but is absolutely great!)

Great bar to start the party night. Since this bar is so little, it's early full and cosy. Have some shots and warm up with dancing. Always the best place to start the evening!

Sightseeing
This neighborhood was only a few years ago one of the most dangerous in the world. Even the police couldn't enter. After an invasion by the government, which killed many people (also many innocent persons), this period came to an end. Now it is a very colorful area full of amazing graffiti art, dancing people and kids, and an incredible view. Take a look in the life of many inhabitants of Medellín. This is something nobody wants to miss!

Essentials
Best bread in town!! Go to the bakery in the Carulla. This is the most expensive supermarket, but also the one closest to our house and with the most varied assortment.
