Aroma de Cafe

Authentic Colombian Flavors, Unmatched Atmosphere!

Aromatic waves of sizzling Colombian dishes greet you as you step into Aroma de Cafe, an unassuming gem nestled in the vibrant heart of London. As someone who often meanders through eateries searching for authenticity, this locale felt like encountering a slice of bustling Bogotá right in a quaint nook of an English mall. The essence of Colombia is evident in every corner – from the joyful chatter in Spanish to the crisp aromas wafting from the kitchen. Rest assured, your canine companions will be as welcomed as you, given a refreshing bowl of water as they bask beside you.

Sampling their bandeja paisa was akin to culinary euphoria with each bite unveiling new flavors conjured by a skillful hand. A symphony of textures, the dish embodies hearty chicharrón and spiced sausages, brought together with silky beans nestled on supplicant rice. My senses were further tantalized by an impeccable Tilapia crowned with chili oil that delivered a gentle sting. Yet, while the rows of delicious freshly baked cakes seemed an inviting rendezvous post-main course, some lingering clean-up issues hint at areas for improvement. Nevertheless, Aroma de Cafe remains an evocative reflection of Colombia’s zest for life, claim to any local’s itinerary, dog lovers included! — Jasper Griddle
