Diners can also enjoy Bocado de arriero, an inventive nod to rustic Colombian flavors, and an intriguing combination of Maíz y chorizo that melds smoky sausage with sweet corn. Each starter is a beautifully balanced introduction to the culinary voyage ahead.

Quimbaya's signature offering is its elaborate tasting menus, including the Menú Sinfonía and the Gran Menú Quimbaya — both expansive celebrations of Colombian flavors and ingredients. These menus feature exquisite dishes such as Arrechón, Carantanta with ají de maní, and the classic Arepa de Chichiguare accompanied by hogao sauce. Diners also experience novel plates like Pandebono paired with panela and Tamal served with its traditional caldo. Each course is a harmonious interplay of textures and tastes, from the crispness of patacón paired with coconut and crab, to the rich Guandules with fish in cabrito sauce.
The menus culminate with sweet and tangy delights like Mora de Castilla with kumis de Patía and tropical cocktails of coco, chontaduro, and borojó — a captivating finish that lingers on the palate.
