A strong link between rural Antioquian farming traditions and the modern, progressive city.<\/p>\n<p>The dish was created to fill and sustain hardworking rural workers who need to refuel after a tough day of toiling. Colombians typically will have a large lunch and then a much smaller evening meal alongside a warm drink. The bandeja paisa filled with protein is the ultimate comfort food, often enjoyed at the weekend ahead of a necessary siesta.<\/p>\n<p>I have lived in Medellin for over 15 years and these are some of the best places to get a bandeja paisa in the city and surrounding municipalities. Giving it a go is an essential part of your city to Medellin but make sure you don\u2019t have a big breakfast before!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/embed?mid=1JJvRoO5FDHJihRr9_I8-Iwg55dyt0hk&amp;ehbc=2E312F&amp;noprof=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>1.

The menu was developed by the founding families&#8217; favorite recipes and they have a lot of paisa classics which have been honed over generations.<\/p>\n<p>The central location is my favorite with beautiful, traditional decor and a real sense of tranquility and elegance amongst the chaos of central Medellin. They have also opened restaurants in Manila, Poblado Avenue, Ciudad del Rio, Guayabal and Buenos Aires up on the hill.<\/p>\n<p>In my experience staff are extremely welcoming and professional adding to a great experience.<\/p>\n<p>Their bandeja paisa comes with kidney beans, rice, ground beef, chicharron, morcilla, chorizo, egg, plantain, avocado and arepa.<\/p>\n<p><b>\ud83d\udcb2 Bandeja Paisa price<\/b>: 44,000 COP (US$11.15)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/haciendaorigen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/haciendaorigen.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>4.

They also have a nice view over the city and plenty of indoor and outdoor space.<\/p>\n<p>Their bandeja paisa comes with beans, ground beef, sausage, fried egg, plantain and chicharron (fried pork skin and meat). The dish is accompanied with rice and avocado.

It is around 15 minutes from Poblado and easily accessible to the South of Laureles along the highway.<\/p>\n<p><b>\ud83d\udcb2 Bandeja Paisa price<\/b>: 35,000 COP (US$8.90)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/marurico.oficial\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/marurico.oficial\/?hl=en<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>8.
