"Natalia Cocomá's urban-garden Colombian tasting reached Latin America's 50 Best at twenty-five — book Oda in Cedritos to impress clients."
About Oda
Natalia Cocomá was twenty-five when Oda entered Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants — the youngest woman chef on the list. That is the fact that matters here. Oda is not an old name trading on a reputation; it is a young kitchen in Cedritos, on the quiet north side of Bogotá rather than the Zona G crowd, cooking an author menu off an urban garden and indigenous Colombian ingredients. The dining room is calm and modern, with floor-to-ceiling windows over the city. The cooking is the reason to make the trip north.
The Kitchen
Cocomá — "Coco" — cooks Colombian produce with fine-dining technique, much of it grown on the restaurant's own roof garden, alongside plants from the Amazon. The menu changes with the season, which is the honest way to do this, and the plates are precise rather than rustic. Past courses show the range: crispy rice with Andean stew, Creole ají and grapefruit; a buckwheat brioche with garlic emulsion, refried beans and smoked pineapple. The sourcing is not a marketing line — it is the structure the whole menu is built on, a circular kitchen that starts at the garden and works back to the plate.
Mains run roughly COP $38,000 to $75,000, and the full Menú Oda tasting climbs from there. Against Bogotá's other 50 Best kitchens — Leo, El Chato — Oda is the younger, less famous room, and that is exactly the case for going now, before the reservation gets hard. The weakness is consistency of a very new kitchen working at the edge of its ambition; not every course lands with equal force. But the best of them are as interesting as anything in the city.
The Room
A modern, high-end dining room inside the G Lounge complex in Cedritos, with floor-to-ceiling windows and city views. It is calm and considered rather than buzzy — conversation stays easy, the sound level low, the lighting soft. The north-side location keeps it quieter than the Zona G destinations downtown, which is part of the appeal for a working dinner. Tables are well spaced, dress is smart, and the pace is unhurried. This is a room built for paying attention to the food.
Best for Impressing Clients
Book Oda to impress clients for three concrete reasons: a Latin America's 50 Best ranking does the credibility work before you sit down; the calm room with city views lets a real conversation happen; and the urban-garden sourcing gives the table a story that is genuinely worth telling. It impresses without being stuffy. Pair it with our Bogotá dining guide, the global guide to impressing clients, and tables to close a deal in Bogotá.
Not for
Not for anyone in a hurry or after familiar comfort food — this is a long, ingredient-led author menu in a far-north neighbourhood, not a quick à la carte dinner near your hotel in Zona G.
Frequently Asked
Is Oda in Bogotá worth it?
Yes, if you want to see where young Colombian cooking is going. Chef Natalia Cocomá took Oda into Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants in 2024 at twenty-five, cooking an author menu built on an urban garden and indigenous ingredients. It is ambitious, ingredient-led food in a calm Cedritos room. Go for the cooking and the sourcing, not for a famous name or a long history.
What should I order at Oda?
Trust the menu — it changes with the season and the garden. Past plates that show what Cocomá does include crispy rice with Andean stew, Creole ají and grapefruit, and a buckwheat brioche with garlic emulsion, refried beans and smoked pineapple. The cooking leans on Colombian produce, much of it grown on the roof, and on Amazonian plants. Order the full menu and let the kitchen lead.
How much does Oda cost?
Main courses run roughly COP $38,000–$75,000, and the full Menú Oda tasting costs more depending on length and pairings. It is priced as a serious contemporary tasting room rather than a neighbourhood spot, but it remains good value against Bogotá's other 50 Best kitchens. Reserve ahead, especially since the dining room is small and the north-side location keeps it quieter than the Zona G crowd.
Is Oda good for impressing clients?
Yes. A Latin America's 50 Best ranking, a calm room with floor-to-ceiling city views, and a sourcing story rooted in a Colombian urban garden give you plenty to talk about over dinner. It is impressive without being stuffy. Book the tasting and ask about the garden. See our guide to impressing clients for more Bogotá options.
