Club Colombia Melbourne Cbd

It was our first time trying the Colombian food recently at @clubcolombiaaustralia we truly loved it. .<br/ .<br/ Starting with their hospitality, service interiors, everything is Colombian very authentic for that matter. <br/ At your tables you are presented with a Colombian cultural hat which you can wear while enjoying your food getting into the whole theme of the place. .<br/ .<br/ Hence, starting with some red white wine base Sangria was just perfect.<br/ .<br/ .<br/ Coming to food, mostly everything is gluten free and offers a good variety. We tried <br/ Plantain base starters with various topping Corn shell patty with 3 different fillings The traditional chorizo, arepa potato for entrees For mains we called the most famous traditional Colombian dish having an assortment of 9 different amazing elements the Latin American grill with chicken breast rolls filled with ham cheese<br/ .<br/ .<br/ Everything was wonderful we were glad that we actually visited @clubcolombiaaustralia had an amazing experience .<br/ .

4.5We revisited Club Colombia tonight to try out some of the fresh items in their menu since our last visit. Still frequented by plenty of Colombian expats this venue and the new menu has held true to the traditional but also offers a touch of fusion to with the Colombian take on Nachos, burgers and an ultra flexible grill menu. We started with a Nachos made with traditional house made corn arepas. There was generous beans and mince under a thick layer of mozzarella, smashed avo and corn. For mains we mixed and matched our proteins and sides on the Latin grill menu. I opted for a super tender porthouse with and a chimichurri sauce and sides of salads and mash while KD went for the chicken with a cheese and ham filling. We both enjoyed the grill and would recommend for anyone who want to ease themselves into Colombian cuisine. For a post dinner sweet treat I finally got to try the cheese and hot chocolate which is exactly as it read. Dark Colombian chocolate with cloves and cinnamon and lumps of a mild cheese to drop in and melt. Very common in Colombia but I’ve not seen this anywhere else in Melbourne. Great to be back again tonight. Thanks to the team at Club Colombia for having us back. Previous ReviewTonight’s Colombian experience started the minute we walked in the door, the aromas, the music, the decor, wow an explosion of colour and cheer everywhere. We started with a Jarra (jug) de Refajo (house blend of beer and soft drink), smells like beer, tastes like soft drink, a winner in my book!There is a real variety of patrons in here, from the homesick Colombians to the general populous all lovers of Colombian food. The party like atmosphere kicked off tonight with some live music.Neither of us had tried traditional Colombian food before and we were advised that the tastes here were authentic and not modified for the Australian audience. A perfect chance to taste some authentic food without the airfare. We started with the Pumpkin and ginger soup with crispy potatoes had a nice ginger kick and a lovely thick consistency a great way to warm up on a cold night.(Papa criollo con suero costeno) Yellow potatoes cigars with Columbian sour cream, these fingers of fried potatoes where delicious, more dense than a chip and where served with a smokey tomato sauce. Patacon con hagao was like a big plantain chip with guacamole, salsa and sour cream. A great crunch to go with the beer.For mains we had the cazuela arriera de frijoles which was a bean based dish served with pork, chorizo and rice, a great dish full of flavour I just kept going back for more and more. Sobrebarriga chorreada del altiplano cundiboyacense) Flank steak with sauce, cooked with cheese and cream and served with mini fried yellow potatoes on the side. This steak was pull apart tender in parts and a bit firmer in others but the flavour was good and the stringy cheese topping magic.We tried a traditional recipe from the Colombian pacific coast which consisted of fish fillets, prawns and was served with a subtle coconut milk sauce with a house salad. Delicate flavours of the sauce allowed the flavour of the seafood shine through.For dessert we shared the Tres leches cake with the creamy sweet sauce had an amazing kick of citrus keeping you going back for more and more and more, highly addictive! Our favourite was the Colombian obela. This popular Colombian dessert consisted of a wafers sandwich with a milk caramel, grated cheese and berries. This dessert is hard to describe, the flavours were new to my western palate, but I enjoyed the thin fresh crunchy wafers, sweet milk caramel with the berries and cheese, very enjoyable. Club Columbia do a great coffee and are open for breakfast and lunch most days and a little later for evenings at the end of the week. Hard to believe they have only been going for three months.Thanks so much for welcoming us in

Decided to give this place a go! Can only comment on the vegetarian dishes as we decided to have a vegetarian day but food was yummy! Will come back to try the other dishes!

Had the 'Calentado Valluno ', which was like a home-cooked feast-for-one. The chicken breast was a bit dry but the chorizo was so juicy. You could easily share this between two. Felt well looked after here by staff as well.

Love the food and customer service here. Me and my partner had a great first experience on Colombian food. The staff are so friendly and helpful. And the food!!! Omg!!! My body feels nourished : feels natural and no artificial flavoring. All foods are gluten too. Would definitely come back.
