Eating out in San Gil and barichara
Barichara
Shambala y Shanti (next door) Tasty international food with lots of veggie options. Highly recommended!
7 Tigres - Calle 6 10-24, Barichara. Pizza deliciosa. Only opens evenings from 6pm or weekends.
Barichara a la Piedra - The entrance to Barichara, just after the second gas station. There's a natural swimming pool with a little waterfall, so you can swim too. The speciality is meat or fish cooked on volcanic rocks heated in the fire, but the vegetarian cobb salad is incredible. They also serve craft beer and incredible deep fried ice cream.
La Rola - A lovely bakery and cafe with absolutely delicious breads and pastries. Comfy seats and friendly service. You must give them a visit!
El Bodegon de Toñita - Cafe and bar in a lovely spot on the main square by the church. Does a tasty and cheap veggieburger with potato wedges. Another good veggie option is the sandwich caprese.
San Gil
Cafe Europa Carrera 8 # 11 - Delicious pizza and pasta in a cute little restaurant. Open from 4pm. Highly recommended!
Trigo y Miel - Carrera 9# 5-5, San Gil. Healthy, vegetarian, cheap and delicious. Only open for lunch 12pm-2pm.
Gringo Mike's - Calle 12 # 8-35. Gourmet fast food, with some great veggie options.
Plaza de Mercados - San Gil, . Juices and fruit salads. Open til around 2pm. There's juice bars, and fast food including filled arepas, Santander-style arepas with eggs, caldo and also the food hall where you can get cheap and good quality lunches. The healthiest option is probably the bagre (catfish) as it's not fried but steamed. Delicious!

Delicious kebabs and loads of great veggie options - absolutely delicious. What a treat!
