Buena Vida is all about celebrating Colombian flavors with a modern, elevated touch. The menu leans local but with plenty of polish—think traditional seafood and coastal dishes reimagined with upgraded ingredients and playful presentations. There’s seating on two air-conditioned floors that’s comfortable and lively, plus a rooftop that feels like its own little party, serving up gastro-style bites and city views when the weather cooperates.
Cocktails here deserve a special mention: they’re fun, creative, and often arrive in eye-catching glassware that’s practically begging for a photo. Just be warned—presentation can sometimes outdo practicality (I once ordered one in a conch shell and wore half of it). While most dishes are well-priced for the quality, some of the fancier seafood options can run a bit steep. Still, if you’re looking for an energetic spot that showcases Colombian cuisine in a fresh, memorable way, Buena Vida lives up to its name.
