About Medellín Es Sabor-Champi

Medellín es Sabor — Champi — is a comida típica house on Calle 10, one street off Parque Lleras. It has been running for more than 25 years, which on a Poblado block that turns over constantly makes it an outlier: a neighbourhood paisa grill that survived the neighbourhood becoming a nightlife district, and that is still priced like one rather than like a Lleras tourist trap.

What to Order at Medellín Es Sabor-Champi

The kitchen’s own top three are the bandeja paisa ($57,900 COP), the picada mixta and the sancocho — including a sancocho trifásico with beef, chicken and rib ($49,900). Reviewers routinely call the bandeja the largest platter they have been served. The grill runs deeper than most comida típica places: punta de anca, chata, solomito and bistec a caballo at $69,900, a mix de carnes at $84,900, and 600 g tomahawk, T-bone and R-bone cuts at $169,000. Cheaper anchors: mondongo, cazuela de frijoles, chicharrón and ceviche de chicharrón, all $42,900.

Tips for Your Visit

Champi is at Cl 10 #37-24, a block from Parque Lleras and walkable from anywhere in central El Poblado. Cards are accepted, there is outdoor seating on Calle 10, and it takes bookings. The most useful thing to know: it is open from 9 AM until 3 AM, which makes it one of the few places near Lleras serving proper food after the bars empty.

Practical Information

Plan Your Visit to Medellín

Medellín is the capital of Antioquia and one of Colombia’s most-visited cities — known for its year-round spring weather (the "City of Eternal Spring"), modern Metro system, and walkable neighborhoods. El Poblado and Laureles are especially popular for restaurants, nightlife, and cafés. Pair restaurant visits with a Comuna 13 graffiti tour, a Guatapé day trip, or a coffee farm visit.

Getting Around Medellín

Medellín has the easiest public transit in Colombia — the Metro covers most tourist areas, and Metrocable cars reach the hilltop neighborhoods. Uber and inDriver are widely used and considered safe. For day trips beyond the city, book a guided tour or hire a private driver. Walking between restaurants in the main tourist neighbourhoods is generally safe day and night.
