The Medellín table — what to order and where the locals point.
Bandeja paisa
The mountain-sized platter: beans, chicharrón, egg, arepa — earn it with a hike first.
Menú del día
The weekday set lunch — soup, main, juice — is Colombia's best food deal.
Arepas & buñuelos
Corner-bakery breakfast: cheese arepas and fried dough spheres with hot chocolate.
Coffee where it grows
Third-wave cafés pour the region's own beans — Medellín is coffee country's capital.
Mondongo Sundays
The tripe-soup family ritual — locals swear by it for what ails you.
