Estancia Chica: a grilling tradition that defines the identity of Bogotá
A grill that has withstood the test of time
Estancia Chica is one of those restaurants that are part of the emotional map of the city. Founded on December 7, 1990, this restaurant has maintained a clear proposal for over three decades: well-executed Argentine grilling, quality cuts, and a consistent experience from the very first moment. Located at Calle 93A #13B-50, in one of the most traditional areas of northern Bogotá, the place has become a must-visit for those who value cuisine made with technique, patience, and respect for the product.
History marked by friendship and soccer
The story of Estancia Chica begins with José Antonio Tévez and Juan Carlos Sarnari, two friends united by soccer who decided to bring the essence of classic Argentine grills to Bogotá. From the beginning, the grill was conceived as the heart of the restaurant and not as a decorative element. That decision set the course for the project and explains why, after 36 years of trajectory, the restaurant is still considered a classic that has not lost its identity.
Reasons that make Estancia Chica a must-visit
Tradition that can be felt in every detail
Estancia Chica does not try to reinvent the Argentine grill but to preserve its essence. The experience is built on consistency, mastery of fire, and deep knowledge of each cut. That consistency has allowed the restaurant to remain relevant for decades without relying on fleeting trends.
Quality backed by years of craft
The selection of meats is one of the pillars of the restaurant. Each cut is treated with respect, taking care of cooking times and the exact point. The accumulated experience is evident in the regularity of the results, something that few restaurants manage to sustain over time.
Attentive and professional service
The service is friendly, without exaggeration or forced formalities. The team knows the menu, understands the rhythm of the place, and enhances the experience without interrupting it. That constant attention has been key for many customers to return year after year.
