Chuscalito

This traditional-style restaurant is located on Avenida Las Palmas, in the upper part of El Poblado. The restaurant looks like a traditional paisa house with wood finishes and colonial-style furnishings..

The menu is very extensive, but the beset items are the traditional empanadas, chorizos, and pandebonos. 

Chuscalito offers catering and decoration so that you don’t have to worry about that stuff when planning your party. Just book a table and show up!

Al Patio Restaurant

Al Patio is a restaurant bar specializing in weddings, birthday parties, graduations, and corporate dinners.

As with so many of the other places on this list, it’s located up on Avenida Las Palmas. That’ makes it super close to a ton of different Casacol properties, such as Energy Living!

The top picks on the menu have to be the carpaccios with the sangria. The raw meats paired with the wine is such a classy choice, and they’re all excellently prepared. 

Besides the great food Al Patio was awarded best pastry chef, best chef, and best gastronomic entrepreneur in 2021. I’d say that’s a good reason to book a table there for your next party!

Le Parch

Le Parch has great views of the city, thanks to its location high up in the hills of Santa Elena. You’re probably familiar with the flower farms in the area, but there are also some good restaurants, too!

Le Parch isn’t going to be a showstopper in terms of decor. It’s a pretty basic, bare-bones type of place. 

But, you can bring your own decorations to brighten it up a bit. 

Besides all that, the food is excellent too. They make a mean mojito and have some great chicharrón dishes for you to try. 

However, what really makes it shine is the live music on the weekends. Be sure to plan your party for a Friday or Saturday night so you can make the most of your party!

Herbario Restaurante

Herbario is located in a classy, ​​industrial-style warehouse in the Manila neighborhood. 

The menu is made up of a mix of Colombian food and international cuisine, all with a gourmet twist. 

For instance, you’ll find cayeye on the menu, a traditional dish from the coast. However, they mix it with tasty French cheeses and chontaduro fruits to create something you won’t get anywhere else! 

In terms of where to host your party, the restaurant has a special “Social Herbarium” packages which you can use for events such as weddings, birthdays, bachelor parties, and personalized graduation parties.

La Causa

This restaurant serves up a Peruvian and Japanese hybrid menu. This Nikkei restaurant has four locations in Medellín: three in the south (El Poblado, Envigado) and one in the Laureles sector. 

In other words, there’s one close to home no matter where you’re staying!

If you like seafood, then this is the place for you. They’ve got some great sushi, as well as good sashimi appetizers. 

Probably the coolest thing about this restaurant, however, is that they offer home catering. If you’d rather celebrate with a small, intimate meal in your apartment, the restaurant can get you hooked up with gourmet sushi to do so!
