“ By far the best restaurant we visited in Medellin & the only one we’re visiting more than once! The food and service were amazing. ”
“ Restaurante La Provincia was recommended to us by a friend who’s from Colombia. We originally planned to stop by for dinner but were in the area at the Centro Comercial Santafé (Mall) and decided to go for lunch. It was an easy walk from the mall but was a little confusing to locate the entrance of the restaurant. Nonetheless, we arrived and even without reservations were seated right before the lunch rush with a nice view of outside. Being American and only speaking very little Spanish, I appreciated them having an English menu. Personally, I prefer the menu to be in Spanish and have the English translations as I like to use the opportunity to practice ordering in Spanish. We started by reviewing the drink menu. It’s been very tough for me to find a drink that I like here. However the server was very accommodating and allowed me to order a shot of vodka with fresh lemonade (lime). It was a refreshing drink to have after walking around the mall for a few hours. They bought out breadsticks with a pepper sauce which I loved and couldn’t stop eating and fresh baked bread which was hot and delicious with butter. Since it was still early in the day, we opted to order a few appetizers: Sopa de cangrejo en leche de coco (Crab Soup with Coconut Milk). I’m a big fan of crab in soup but I haven’t had it with coconut milk and it was a perfect compliment to the sweetness of the crab. The fresh vegetables of peas and carrots provided texture and a chunkiness which was welcomed. Corazon de alcachofa con higaditos de pollo al jerez (Artichoke Hearts with sautéed chicken livers in a red wine reduction). Tho is not a dish I’ve ever heard of but I was hoping this would be an elevated take on a more home style Colombian dish. I tried to research it to understand its origins but wasn’t able to make that connection. I still hope that’s the case though. The soft texture of the artichoke with the tenderness of the chicken livers was a nice contrast. The red wine reduction provided a hint of sweetness that offset the stronger flavor of the livers. When eaten together, I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the dish. Gratin de cangrejo con setas salvajes (Crab Meat au Gratin with Mushrooms). This was my favorite dish as it reminded me of my childhood growing up in New Orleans. It was served in a scallop shell and topped with melted cheese. The creaminess of the crab and mushroom filling with the crunch from the melted cheese was exciting and I loved every bite. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and will definitely go back for dinner when I have the time. There were a number of other dishes I want to try. ”
“ In the heart of Medellin, our dining experience at this hidden gem left us in awe. Margarita, our exceptional waitress, added a personal touch to make our evening memorable. The attention to detail here is unparalleled, and the delectable cuisine took our taste buds on a journey. From the exquisite Sopa de Cangrejo en Leche de Coco to the affordable yet divine options, every dish was impeccable. The service was top-notch, and the cocktails were crafted to perfection. This place is so good, we forgot to take more photos. A must-visit for anyone craving a classy night out with unparalleled service, ambiance, and, most importantly, delicious food. ”
