A dinner-only kitchen in Chapinero founded by chefs Sergio Meza and Nicolás López, serving inventive small plates and tasting menus in a stripped-back room. Dishes swing between Colombian ingredients and Asian and European techniques, with a strong natural-wine and cocktail list. The dining room is compact and books out on weekends.
Villanos en Bermudas is a dinner-only creative restaurant at Calle 56 #5-21 in Chapinero Alto, one of Bogotá's most active dining districts, in the capital of Colombia. It was founded by chefs Sergio Meza and Nicolás López, and it is generally counted among the city's leading contemporary kitchens, with a rating of around 4.5 from diners. The cooking is classed as creative Colombian: local ingredients are treated with techniques drawn from Asian and European cuisines, so a plate may read as familiar in its components but unfamiliar in its construction. The menu centres on a chef's tasting menu and a rotating run of seasonal small plates, which means the dishes change with what is available and no fixed signature plate defines the restaurant. The chef's tasting menu is the format most associated with the venue, and small plates suit visitors who prefer to build their own meal. The dining room is compact and stripped back, with an informal, design-conscious feel rather than a formal white-tablecloth atmosphere, and the small size keeps the room lively and close. Beverages are a real part of the offer: the list leans on natural wine and cocktails, and both are offered as pairings alongside the food. Prices sit in the upper-mid tier, at roughly COP 200,000 to 320,000 per person (about USD 63 to 102), depending on whether a tasting menu or several small plates are chosen and how much is ordered to drink. Service runs Tuesday to Saturday from 7PM to 12:30AM, and the restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Because the room is small and fills up on weekends, reservations are recommended, and Friday and Saturday evenings are the hardest to secure. Booking several days ahead for weekends is sensible, while midweek tables are usually easier. Reservations can be arranged through the restaurant's website, villanosenbermudas.com, or by phone on +57 601 211 1259.
