MAGNO's Centro Historico Recommendations

Casona Vida

Why we recommend Casona Vida

Casona Vida is a beautiful brunch spot in the Centro Histórico, sister restaurant to Vida Coffee Shop, set in a stunning colonial space near the Iglesia de Santo Toribio. The menu leans toward healthier, more internationally-influenced options: the kind of brunch that appeals to visitors looking for quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation rather than a purely Colombian spread. Beautiful interior, a courtyard that feels more like a garden, and live music on weekend evenings. The Zona Norte location in Las Ramblas is equally good if you're in that part of the city. The walled city location can be a little hard to find, tucked off a side street from Plaza San Diego, so Google Maps is your friend.
