The place is like a garden, decorated with lights and flowers. The fact that this restaurant has three dish suggestions is what’s most amazing about it.

This tasty restaurant serves waffles, bowls, casseroles, smoothies, and much more. El Tesoro Parque Commercial is the only place they are located.

For example “Trufados” Delicious poached in a perfect combination of mesclun and pearl tomato in truffle oil that you can combine with your favorite protein (sliced Turkey Breast, Smoked Salmon or Prosciutto) for $39.900. Their sweet and salty waffle selection is amazing, Salmon, banana, mushrooms and burrata all sound like a must-try when brunching at Aire de Romero.
For a fresh and unprocessed option, Hawaiian poke is located in Provenza. Is a small and simple restaurant and is one of my favorite places to eat poke. I know that many people are not big fans of sushi or raw fish, but the good thing is that the protein options are almost infinite, they make them crunchy, vegetarian, with tofu, with chicken, and even with pork. The toppings are also endless, edamame, mango slices, crunchy onions, cherry tomatoes, avocado, seaweed salad, and many many more. This option is also on Rappi and the service is amazing. Make sure to pair your poke order with Jamaican water which they make fresh every day.
