Discover the Best Food Tour in Medellín – Taste, Explore & Connect with Local Culture

Nadine Braehmer • May 16, 2025

Looking for the most delicious and authentic experience in Medellín? Our Medellín food tour invites you to explore Colombia through its rich culinary heritage—one bite at a time. From street snacks to the legendary bandeja paisa, you’ll dive deep into Paisa culture in the heart of the Laureles neighborhood, one of Medellín’s most beloved local areas.

Why You Should Take a Food Tour in Medellín

Medellín isn’t just a city of eternal spring—it's a place where flavors, history, and people come together in every dish. With our local guide leading the way, you’ll go off the beaten path to discover hidden food spots and family-run eateries you won’t find on Google.

Whether you’re a foodie, a cultural explorer, or a first-time visitor, our tour is the perfect way to understand Medellín from the inside out.


Taste the Legendary Bandeja Paisa

No visit to Medellín is complete without trying the iconic bandeja paisa—a generous platter filled with red beans, white rice, ground beef, chicharrón (crispy pork belly), fried egg, avocado, sweet plantain, arepa, and chorizo. It’s a celebration of Paisa identity and local flavors on one plate.

During our tour, you’ll visit a traditional eatery that serves one of the best bandejas in the city, and you’ll learn the story behind this beloved dish.


What Else Will You Taste?

On this 100% local food tour in Laureles, you’ll also enjoy:

  • Warm, cheesy arepas de choclo
  • Crispy empanadas with homemade ají
  • Patacones with delicious toppings
  • A variety of tropical fruits you may have never seen before
  • A refreshing Colombian drink
  • And of course, a sweet treat to finish things off

Every stop is carefully curated to give you a real taste of Medellín, far from the tourist traps.


Explore Laureles Like a Local

Laureles is a tree-lined neighborhood with a local soul. It’s where Medellín residents live, work, and eat—and where the real food magic happens. As you walk with your guide, you’ll hear about Medellín’s transformation, local customs, and how food reflects daily life here.
