Quirovita – Cali’s only real Chiropractor

May 27, 2015

One day after playing with my daughter, swinging her around and throwing her on in the air, my back went into a lock-down. It came sneaking and within an hour I couldn’t even bend down to tie my own shoes. I’m 30 years old, in pretty good shape and all

Restaurants·Things to do

In Colombia it is hard to find any high-quality chain restaurant. And really, that’s fine with me. I prefer to support the smaller owner-operated establishments. But there is one that is too good to ignore – Crepes & Waffles. What started as a small crepería in Bogotá in 1980, with

Cali’s Supermarkets

After moving to Colombia I had to figure out where to do my shopping. Sure, my girlfriend and her family had plenty of suggestions, but as a foreigner we do not always appreciate the same things in life. There’s a ton of supermarkets in Cali and on top of the more

Restaurants·Things to do

What is the best ceviche you’ve ever had? Mine was at Peru Peñon in Cali. And if I’m not counting my grandmothers salmon, then I might have to nominate their salmon for best in category as well. Anything that has to do with cooking things from the ocean, rocks at this establishment

My all-time favorite exercise in Cali is probably climbing the mountain in the northwestern part of the city with the three crosses (and the 50 antennas). The place is known as “el Cerro” to the Caleños and it is visible from most of Cali. The simple reason that I love it so

A visit to Teatro Magico del Sabor is in my honest opinion the best dining experience one can have in Cali. You may not agree that it is the best food in Cali, but you will have a hard time convincing me that the overall experience isn’t the best. Most likely

I am a bread lover. I am also a bread snob. I know it, and my friends and family here in Cali tell me daily. But I can’t help it – and I’m never going to get used to eating the white Colombian bread they serve everywhere. Whether Bimbo or

I don’t know what was your best ever Italian dining experience. La Trattoria Italia was one of mine. Having lived in Cali for almost than 2 years, about a year ago, by accident, I stumbled upon this fine little eatery in the heart of Barrio San Antonio. Boy was I

If you like Rock ‘n Roll, deep-fried finger food, live music, flamboyant cocktails on dry ice and a wide selection of beers, then Bourbon St. is the place you want to be. The restaurant / bar recently moved to a massive new location in Barrio Granada, and although in the pricier

Culture·Plan to stay·Plan to visit

… And welcome to Adventure! I arrived in Cali for the first time as a tourist in 2011, passing through on a motorcycle. When I arrived for the second time I came as a father and as a resident, without having any friends (except for my girlfriend), and without speaking Spanish.
