What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Otra Estación is lauded for its authentic Colombian small bites like empanadas and chicken kebabs, and its incredibly affordable prices. Diners love the cozy, country-house ambiance that offers a relaxed escape from the city. However, some visitors have encountered issues with slow service and a strict policy on seating arrangements, and it's important to remember they are a cash-only establishment.
"This place is a gem in medellin. Be ok with waiting for a table, for service to be a bit slow for the food to be great. You’re there to hang out, chill back, bites, chat and drinks in a setting that transports you out of the city. Live slow vibes. Most crappy reviews are foreigners that dont get it."

Nothing expensive but really great experience!
I recommend you to visit this lovely place.

After 5 years of consistently visiting Medellin and having this place saved on my maps, I finally visited it thanks to writing this article. Authentic, hole-in-the-wall Colombian food and vibe right in the middle of Poblado. They only serve one thing all day, a menu of the day, a style which makes it easy.
