Bogotá, Colombia

• No.22 Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants 2019

When Colombia's most famous chef, Harry Sasson, opened his first restaurant in Bogotá in 1995, he was keen to show off the skills he'd learnt during his apprenticeships in Canada, serving everything from Asian ingredients to foie gras and risotto. Things have since changed at his eponymous flagship, where floor-to-ceiling windows and a vertical garden give additional space to the airy salon. While Sasson still offers a menu that brings Japanese and European flavours together, there is much more of a focus on Latin America, with local ingredients and traditional dishes cooked on the wood grill, in the wood oven or on the robata. You'll likely still find the favourites – crispy duck, sweet and sour shrimp and Sasson's famous burger – but now you can order Colombian starters such as freshly baked pan de yuca or Argentine empanadas, before moving onto whole grouper and spicy fried beans or coconuty enconcado. Desserts are rich, creamy and moreish, and the wine list is comprehensive.
