When talking about the experience as a whole this restaurant has it all, going all the way from astonishing dinner options to an incredible environment. Keeping it simple yet delicious La Casa de Amelia offers fondue, an exquisite meal and a surprisingly entertaining one. Fondue is a Swiss meal in which food is dipped in hot cheese or oil until it’s cooked. The variety of this is endless, ordering either steak or chicken combined with bread and even green apple to dip into the hot cheese. Also, having the chance to choose between cheeses really changes every flavor. Some of these are, blue and traditional cheese with or without liquor. During the visits the customers can actually prepare their own food, garnishing it with different sauces making every bite a new experience. With the help of the waiters the food is served immediately and most importantly made to each one’s desires. When taking a look at other famous restaurants in Medellin such as Crepes and Waffles differences can be spotted. Even though Crepes is an impeccable restaurant its extreme variety of food can sometimes be too much. Acknowledging the fact that its food is of very high quality deciding what to eat can become an odyssey. On the other hand since La Casa de Amelia’s menu is simple yet specific, deciding what to eat becomes quite simple. As a personal experience ordering just one meal reveals all of the flavors this restaurant has to offer.

The environment of this restaurant is also a strength. When looking for a restaurant, trying to find the correct place to enjoy the food is crucial. La Casa de Amelia offers all of this. It is located in a traditional house in El Poblado, which portrays Colombian history, additionally having a quiet and relaxing environment. A fountain is found in the middle of the building surrounded by nature, creating an extremely calming establishment. The tables are correctly spaced from each other with the purpose of keeping personal space for each customer. Burdo, another famous restaurant in Medellin lacks in this aspect. Its environment is completely crowded and the music is too loud making it impossible for people to communicate. On the other hand, La Casa de Amelia’s main goal is for their customers to really have an unforgettable time but at the same time appreciate every meal.  

Taking into consideration all of these strengths, La Casa de Amelia does have aspects of improvement. Starting by the fact that its environment can only be acknowledged up to a point. Being extremely calming and relaxing can be a default. When looking at the adolescent population they are always looking for places to have fun and La Casa de Amelia can become almost too soothing. La Causa’s environment is one that portrays the perfect environment. Having the appropriate music and lighting, more teens are attracted to it. This is the reason why La Casa de Amelia might lose customers since it becomes “boring” or too much only for adults.

Having not only impeccable meals and an almost perfect environment La Casa de Amelia becomes an amazing experience for customers. Portraying Medellin’s history and Switzerland’s exquisite foods; it has it all. Being a restaurant any person could enjoy, it must be at the top of the list for anyone in Medellin.
