Read carefully and then, answer the questions The 5 Best Cultural Restaurants in Bogotá Adapted from: http://theculturetrip.com/south-america/colombia/articles/the-10-best-cultural-restaurants-in-bogot-a-guide-to-colombian-gastronomy/

Best described as motley and diverse, Colombian cuisine re ects the country's history with indigenous, Spanish, and African in uences. Colombia's variety of rich soils and climates produces a wide range of unique, avourful products that then travel to the country's vibrant restaurants and kitchens. From high-class, renowned establishments to tiny local spots serving traditional food, this selection represents ve of the best cultural restaurants Bogotá has to offer.

Café Rec The idea behind Café Rec came to Jorge Moreno when his collection of tape recorders became too cumbersome. He and his wife decided to open a place in which they could exhibit his numerous recording machines. Combining this with a café serving freshly ground coffee, the concept became a sort of café-museum where the walls are peppered with tape recorders. As their desire was always to serve top-notch coffees, they offer three different methods of preparation – the siphon brewing method, AeroPress for espressos, or coffee that is manually ltered with a dripper. The organiser of frequent live music soirees, Café Rec has become a popular local establishment promoting and sharing musical culture. Café Rec, Carrera 6 # 7-08, Bogotá, Colombia, [email protected]

Matiz Considered as one of the best ne cuisine restaurants in Bogotá, Matiz features four distinctive settings and offers three different menus to satisfy all palates. With its classical and sober decor, the dining room opens onto an outdoor terrace and a waterfall. On the second oor, the lounge, furnished with cosy sofas to relax and enjoy one of Matiz's numerous intoxicating concoctions with some contemporary music, creates a congenial atmosphere; while the two reservados convey a quieter mood with dark but warm colours and wooden wine racks embedded in mahogany-panelled walls. A graduate of prestigious culinary schools, Chef Nicolas Quintano embraces cutting-edge techniques to serve dishes with adventurous avours and stunning presentations. His creativity does not stop at food, as Matiz's liqueur menu offers 19 special cocktails, taking advantage of the wide range of tropical fruits that blossom in Colombia. Matiz, Calle 95 no. 11A-17, Bogotá, Colombia, +571 520 2003

Nazca Nazca prides itself on offering authentic Peruvian cuisine that would carry any Peruvian back to their childhood. While maintaining a feeling of fresh homemade food, the great attention paid to plate presentation adds an artistic touch to their dishes. These are served in a modern, shiny red and black interior, with an impressive wooden-step entrance and large glass doors. The VIP room, on the second oor, seems to oat above the main dining area. Highly recommended is the restaurant's panoply of sh, directly brought from the Peruvian coasts. Nazca also offers cookery classes to teach the secrets behind their dishes, as well as cocktail classes and tasting sessions to pass on the art of cocktail mixing. Nazca, Calle 74 No. 5-28, Bogotá, Colombia, +571 321 3459

Il Filleto While Il Filleto has built up a solid reputation for its meat, its generous à la carte menu also includes vegetarian dishes, pasta and risotto. The Tuscan villa décor with vines, indoor stone arches and wooden ceiling beams provides the perfect backdrop to complement Il Filetto's Italian touch. The restaurant also offers cookery courses to master the techniques of

Argentine parrilla, as well as the recipes for the best side dishes and salads to serve with meat. The gourmet shop on the ground oor sells exclusive brands and products from all over the world. From meat and tru e oil to chocolate and turrones, Il Filetto Gourmet makes a rule of selecting the best ingredients to take home. Il Filleto, Calle 120a No. 6a-04, Bogotá, Colombia, +571 620 4154

Merlín Café Dim lighting, an open replace in the middle of the room and live music playing on certain nights, the Merlín Café could have limited itself to being a traditional romantic place for couples to have a quiet dinner in an intimate setting. Yet its owner has opted for playing the card of originality with a magical theme. Quite literally – dragon and goblin gurines as well as paintings adorn the restaurant walls, giving it an artistic touch and explaining why it de nes itself as a 'restaurant gallery'. Ceramic workshops are also organised and the pottery displayed in the restaurant is all for sale. Merlín Café's originality does not stop at its décor, however; its rather unusual speciality is mushrooms. Merlín Café, Carrera 2 No. 12-84, Bogotá, Colombia +57 284 9707
