Restaurante Casa San Isidro

August 10, 2025

I had an idea when I came to this restaurant a few years ago and I thought it was a great experience. I decided to go back, but had a poor experience. Now you are charged extra $80 thousand pesos just to sit by the view. They haven't really invested in remodeling the place in years so it's pretty old and deteriorated. I thought the food was good, but not really. I ordered the lamb and it was like boiled and served over polenta which took all the sauce away. We also got the beef ribs and it was only one rib that was hard. The potatoes were not fully cooked and when we sent them back we got a cesar salad and they even didn't chop the lettuce, but it had the stem. They don't have any sodas or rum, so you are pretty much forced into ordering wine. This was a pretty expensive and not very good experience.

It is definitely one of the best places in Bogotá for tourists. For a special or casual occasion, I highly recommend the San Isidro restaurant. Elegant, with a spectacular view, the service from Cristian was excellent, the starters (mussels and hearts), the main dishes (Chateaubriand, pork chop and salmon) were delicious and not to mention the desserts. In general, a wonderful experience, accompanied by an equally beautiful view and a sanctuary worthy of Bogotá.

Perhaps the worst service I have experienced in my life and disappointingly this happened when we were trying to enjoy a nice lunch to celebrate my girlfriend's 30th birthday. We came to Restaurante Casa San Isidro filled with excitement to celebrate my girlfriend's 30th birthday with her family. We had travelled to Bogotá especially for the occasion. From start to finish we were let down time and time again by the poor service. We had booked through the WhatsApp displayed on the website to dine at 1.30pm and upon arriving at the station to get the cable cars to the restaurant we were told we didn't have a reservation, despite showing them the messages we had received in the chat which stated it was booked. When we arrived the staff were unhelpful, I had bought a bouquet of flowers for my girlfriend for her birthday so she brought them with her to get photos at the restaurant and Monseratte. Despite there being noticeably not enough space on the table for the flowers alongside the plates the staff didn't offer to take them for her temporarily or to place them next to the table. After being shown to a table, we still had no water brought to the table 20 minutes after arriving. We had to ask for the waiter to bring the water to the table. The bread was not brought out before the mains but with the mains because they had clearly forgotten to bring it out beforehand as a starter. The staff didn't notice that we had drank all of our water and needed to be asked twice to bring more water to the table. I asked if it would be possible for one of the members of staff to bring a special desert as we were there to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. This was not included as a gift and we were charged for this on the bill. We were not asked if we wanted to tip and the tip had already been added to the bill so I asked for it to removed. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone and if I heard of someone wanting to go I'd recommend them to go elsewhere.

After spending a few hours walking around the top of the mountain and enjoying the beautiful views, we stopped for lunch at this delightful little high-end restaurant for a delicious lunch. The choices from the menu all looked excellent, and it was hard to pick. After 4 days of exploring Bogota, this was my favorite restaurant of them all. Stunning views while enjoying amazing white wine.

We had a fantastic lunch. Great service, I half remember his name Octavia because it was real service not an investment in him telling us about how great he is. He had answers to our questions about the restaurant, service, food, and more. Because it was Semana Santa they didn't have beef so I guess I will have to return! We had 3 appetizers, 2 entrees, the table side dessert (I do recommend), and an entree to go. Basically our entire diet that day was San Isidro. I cannot recommend enough the three cheese mushrooms and the french onion soup. The salmon with red fruit salsa and chicken fettuccine were great. I say this knowing how typical chicken fettucine is, but in a restaurant like this they really step it up. I don't recommend the mediterannean salad nor the 6 type of fish fettucine. The 80k for the view is 100% worth it. You, your family, and your partner will not forget such a unique experience any time soon. I imagine any bad review here is bitter people who couldn't safely afford to eat at such a luxurious restaurant.
