About This Spot

Stepping into Restaurante Magolos feels like being welcomed into a warm neighborhood retreat tucked away in the heart of El Poblado. The pace here is unhurried, inviting you to slow down and savor moments shared over food that speaks of home and tradition. The space carries an intimate, grounded energy — where local stories and aromas mingle, setting the stage for a comforting culinary journey.

At Magolos, dining becomes more than just a meal; it’s a gentle unfolding of Colombian heritage through flavors that comfort and connect. Whether you arrive for a leisurely weekend brunch or a relaxed dinner, you might find yourself drawn into the unassuming charm of dishes that balance hearty and fresh with familiar warmth. The team, often described as genuinely welcoming, infuses the experience with care, taking the time to share insights about the recipes and ingredients, making guests feel seen and engaged rather than rushed.

The atmosphere carries a subtle joy — the kind born from seeing neighbors and travelers alike come together over shared plates. Instead of the hum of a busy, bustling eatery, expect a cozy rhythm where service is attentive yet unobtrusive, leaving space for conversations and quiet moments alike.

Coming here, you might encounter the inviting scent of slow-roasted chicken or the earthy comfort of a locally brewed coffee, the kind that surprises you with its richness and simplicity. Accompanying these are small touches that speak of attentiveness: a fresh side salad, crisp plantains, or a soup that feels like a gentle hug on a plate. It’s a place where the culinary pulse connects with the soul of Antioquia in a sincere, approachable way.

For those keen to uncover local flavors beyond the typical path, Restaurante Magolos offers an experience rooted in authenticity and ease — a spot where the true rhythm of Medellín’s dining culture reveals itself quietly, inviting repeat visits and lingering conversations.

Wow, amazing experience and the best culinary one we had in Medellin. Our server Pablo was amazing and very attentive. The food was also superbe. We went with Pablo’s recommendation and they lived up to the expectations. If you go ask for the Patacones, omg so delicious. We only wishes we could stay in Medellin longer so that we could try more of their delicious food. Thanks Pablo and the Magolos team for this amazing experience!

Please eat here if staying in El Poblado! We came across this place by chance, and we’re so glad we did. The food is incredible (the chicken in particular), and the service was great. We enjoyed it so much we came back a second time! We also met the owner of the restaurant, and he was a really friendly guy.

This is the best restaurant I have been to during my travels across Colombia. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. They explain the items on the menu in detail. I had the chicken which was perfectly cooked and the sauce that came with it was incredible. It's served with either fries or rice and with a side salad. All of which was amazing. I also had the coffee and chocolate cookie with ice cream. I would definitely recommend coming here for amazing well priced food!

Every culture has known comfort food. This is authentic Colombian comfort food. The staff speak both English and Spanish. Genuinely nice people and they take the time to explain the background of the dishes and beverages. The food came out quick, was hot, and exceptionally well prepared, and taste great. Warm and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend. Another MUST PLACE on your list for restaurants to enjoy. Whether you are a local (Colombian), or visiting (Americans, Mexicans, Canadians, Europeans, Brazilian, etc) you will love the people, atmosphere, and food.

Unreal! Despite being very busy when I arrived, I was seated quickly. The staff were absolutely wonderful—they even took the time to explain some of the dishes and recommend the ones that offered an authentic taste of Colombian cuisine. I went for the chicken, rice, and avocado dish, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything was clearly home-cooked, with the chicken falling off the bone, the potatoes perfectly cooked, and the salad and its dressing were amaze. They even have their own spicy, smoky sauce that adds an extra kick. Highly recommend this place—the food is incredibly good and unbelievably well-priced!

I was travelling around South America for 9 months and this restaurant was easily one of the highlights for food. I brought every single friend of mine from the Spanish school across the road I loved it that much. The pollo rostizado is genuinely incredible and their cookie with ice cream is heavenly. Both brothers deserve all the success they get, they’re both great people! Can’t wait to return to Medellín just for another meal here! Gracias muchísimo

Absolutely DELICIOUS!!! This place exceeded my expectations… My wife and I met the owners which are 2 brothers and they were very nice and really have passion for what they do. We went there for the first time for lunch and we decided to come back again for dinner because it was just too good! Please do yourselves a favour and give this place a try! Especially if you want a home cooked meal type of vibe
