La Penela - Bogotá

Very nice ambience, beautiful decoration and excellent service. We ordered the two celluloses as an appetizer, very well made, but the Aroz negro did not have the taste I expected and the rice was not well cooked.

I went for dinner very good atmosphere, service is a little slow and confuse the starters are nice , but I asked for the paella and it was horrible , cold , and the rice was not cooked

Went to this place to celebrate my father's b-day. We were 7 persons. We order food to share. Got first the tortilla and the empanadas that were good. Then order the octopus, it was also good. The we order paellas, beef and a salad. The...beef and salad were ok but the beef wasn't fresh, and the paellas were weren't good, didn't have anything special. The bad part is that the four of us who ate paella got sick that night. Wont go back again. With the prices of this restaurant they should have fresh and tasty food.

The service was good, Nice Waiters and a beautiful place. Unfortunately the paella was very bad. the worst we could have ever eaten. We ordered a marinero paella which is supposed to have some seafood, however, some of the plates had none, additionally the rice...wasn 't cooked well, very bad presentation and cold! We spoke to the Manager, who was rude and according to him in Colombia we don 't know what a true paella is!!!, and normally it has only 5% of protein, in this case seafood! Which is not true! Any Way we won 't go there ever again

Tried La Penela Bogotá after having been to its sister restaurant in Madrid. Had an excellent empanada gallega (only place I know in Colombia where they serve it) and an outstanding mero (grouper) for main course. The filloas (Galician crêpes) for dessert were also very...good indeed. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be returning soon with my fiancée.
