At Prudencia, you will encounter food from all over the world that is united by a focus on the techniques and cultures of the countryside: local ingredients, minimization of waste, a connection with the natural environment, and preservation techniques that take time, such as smoking and fermentation. We offer a seven-course set lunch that is served at a leisurely pace and highlights wood-fired cooking of local ingredients.

 Please write to us by Whatsapp (+57 3187981836) or email prudenciareservas@gmail.com for our current menu and to make a reservation. We accept reservations and walk-ins from 12 – 4pm, Wednesday through Sunday. We close when the final table is finished. Please be aware that we occasionally close for staff vacations or special events. The price of a seven-course meal is 285,000 COP or 397.000 COP with either an alcoholic or non-alcoholic four-drink pairing.

 We very much look forward to hosting you!

Owners and husband and wife Mario Rosero and Meghan Flanigan met and fell in love a few blocks from Prudencia. They lived in the U.S. for a few years in order to further studies in culinary and visual arts and returned to Bogota in 2013 with a baby on the way and the dream of opening a restaurant together in their old neighborhood. They are thrilled that Prudencia is still going years later and remains a home to so many collaborators and guests.

As Prudencia has evolved, we have gone through many changes but have always been accompanied by an amazing team of collaborators, many of whom have stayed with us for years.  We hope that when you visit, you will feel free to talk to us and our team to hear more about our history.

Prudencia is located in La Candelaria, the historical heart of Bogota and its most interesting neighborhood. Simultaneously a small pueblo and cosmopolitan sector full of artistic and intellectual life, La Candelaria is the inspiration for the spirit of Prudencia.  We built the restaurant for and with our neighbors as a local gathering spot and a place where newcomers can experience some of the open friendliness, diversity of cultures and surprising beauty that drew us here.

Our house was once a family home and community pre-school and has now been restored, retaining its most significant historical characteristics such as unusual Republican-era plasterwork. Neighbor and celebrated architect Simon Velez designed all the new architectural aspects including an iron and glass roof supported by recycled petroleum pipes. The result is a refreshed building that is filled with light while maintaining the imprint of its past. The back garden has evolved to become an essential part of how we cook: we smoke and grill in the open air and in view of our garden tables.  All of this is overlooked by the children’s playhouse, which young at heart guests are welcome to explore.
