Donde Laurita - Salento

We visited the address and we're told by some locals that this restaurant had closed down. Although it appears to be a going concern online, it was shut the night we went and had been shut for a number of nights. Not sure if it is closed indefinitely or whether the owner is just having some time off.

I enjoyed trout with spices, nice, it comes with fried plantain which is a huge flat portion of plantain, delicious.

The service in this restaurant is so ridiculously bad that you think: this can't seriously be happening. So, first thing was: we ordered a main dish, trout. So you might expect, that a main dish comes with any side like potatoes or rice etc and vegetables. Especially since it was the main dish and pretty expensive. But, guess what, we ordered trout, so we just got trout. So literally it was only one piece of fish on a plate. We asked for a little bowl of rice. But after couple of minutes, the waiter came back and said something in Spanish that we didnt understand, so: we never got the rice...The second thing that we ordered was a platano with cheese, tomatoes and onions. So what came? A cold and fried platano with cold cheese on it. Normally this dish is served warm and the cheese is melted. Took them 1 second to prepare it. Also: No tomatoes and onions. When I asked something he explained that he could bring a little bowl with it, but I said that it was supposed to be included, but he gave me the feeling I was wrong with it ( but it actually was in the menu (!). So never came the bowl with salsa, as well, even though I ordered it. Alright, that was the food. Now come the drinks: My friedn ordered lemonade without sugar. So, guess what: it was full of sugar, of course. I ordered a Poker, but was brought an Aguila light. After complaing, he brought the Poker. The best part comes now: after we finished eating, he took away my beer without even asking and it happened so fast, that I didnt notice fast enough. The beer was actually still like 30% full. So I asked him where my beer was and he replied that it was empty and I disagreed. So he came back with the bottle, which still contained a bit, but most of the beer was in the glas, which he didnt bring. So I tried to explain this to him, but he just replied with: en serio? He asked if I wanted to have a new beer, but I would have had to pay for it...great service.Not. Which waiter ever takes a partly full beer away after finishing eating?!?!? What was he thinking? Seriously? So,you might think: this was it. But no, the final part was the bill. He didnt change the beer order so, the bill still said I ordered the more expensive Aguila, even though I didnt order it. So, all in all, you can say, that every order we made, came put wrong and the worst part about it: the waiter didnt show any understanding for it. He constantly gave us the feeling, that we were the wrong ones. Please dont go to this place!!!

This place is a gem! The food was great. Must have the tilapia and patacón! The decor and ambiance is perfect!

We ate here for lunch and had fresh trout, which comes with salad, yukkas, and patacones. The food came out much faster than 90% of the Colombian restaurants. The atmosphere was festive, and our service was excellent. The prices were very reasonable. We decided to go back for dinner the following night.
