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.
