Platillos Voladores in Valle del Cauca

"I had the privilege of visiting this restaurant 15 years ago and it had been my favorite of that trip. I was back a few days ago, and once again, it was the best of the bunch. I have eaten ceviche all over the world… and all over Lima, which, of course, is the capital of ceviche. For several members of my family and I, the ceviche at Platillos is fantastic and the one with cashew may be our favorite, anywhere. I was happy to learn that they are true to roots and focus on local products. Their standout dishes focus on fish from the Pacific Ocean. We tried several, including the red curry… it was all great, truly. If you enjoy tasting local distillates, ask for their artisanal aguardiente (much better that the mass produced brands that are heavy on the licorice and sugar) or their signature cocktails. Their desserts are all good."

"Joy of flavors. I am impressed with the quality of food and service. The atmosphere is so special. I got Pacific fish in coconut sauce. So creamy but not overwhelming. The shrimp salad was full of tastes and very well balanced with sweet, sour and spice. Definitely recommended."

"This is the best place in Cali (as of now for me) and all of Colombia (been here two years). Took my mother for her birthday and she loved it. This is top notch, the decor, outdoor garden (best areas to eat if it’s not too hot). The service is stupendous and the food - delicious, delicious, delicious. My mom loved it an she’s not easy to pleaser. It is pricey for Colombian standards but if you can afford, you must do it - it’s an experience."

"Dining at Platillos Voladores, led by the renowned Colombian chef Vicky Acosta Cruz, was an unforgettable experience. The restaurant brilliantly showcases the flavors of traditional Colombian dishes, enhancing their presentation and creating a fusion with both local and international ingredients. Each dish was a delightful surprise, combining familiar tastes with innovative twists that highlighted Chef's culinary expertise. The attention to detail and the harmonious blend of flavors were evident in every bite. The ambiance was inviting, and the staff were attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall exceptional dining experience. The restaurant is a must visit for anyone looking to explore the richness of Colombian cuisine with a modern and global touch. Highly recommended!"

"Best seafood restaurant I’ve been to in Cali. Food was good, lulada was tasty and ambience was good. The staff was helpful. I would definitely go back."

"Excellent food and cocktails. I would recommend booking as it gets busy, especially on the weekends. I loved the yin and yang steak, both the peppercorn and the blue cheese sauces were excellent."

"This eatery has received multiple positive reviews, although some of the dishes could be improved. Personally, I discovered that the highlight of the meal was at the end… The dessert featuring lemongrass encompassed all the flavor experiences I was hoping for. Prices are steep, but the atmosphere is lovely."

"I had the ribs. Too sweet. I liked the small salad. The red wine was not drinkable. The service was impeccable. Really liked the waiter. And it’s a lovely restaurant. Many birthday celebrations!"
