Fritanga

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Fritanga made with real commitment to plantain and technique. The hearty and comforting result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before. Colombian cuisine varies dramatically between the coastal…

I ate Fritanga at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of chicharrón pork rinds varied significantly — only one got it right. The savoury and satisfying profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely. Colombian cuisine varie…

I made Fritanga for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The hearty and comforting profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced fresh guanábana used that way before. Colombian cuisine varies dramatically between th…

I first ate Fritanga on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the subtly sweet with tropical fruit quality I remembered.

I spent an afternoon making Fritanga from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting fresh guanábana right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The hearty and comforting result was rewarding once I got it right. the bandeja paisa plate is a point of Antioquian cult…

Having eaten Fritanga at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The richly textured quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. plantain is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference. This is proper a family Sunday sancocho coo…
