El Poblado, in Medellín, is today one of the epicenters of gastronomic most vibrant of Colombia. There coexist proposals of haute cuisine to places more casual where creativity is not lost. But what happens when you mix the best of both worlds? A tasting menu with touches informal — as homemade pizzas, mini burgers and fries Greek— can become a unique and memorable experience. In this article we explore the ideal combination and we as a prominent example for the restaurant Cala Roca, located in The Village, amazes with its original proposals.

What to expect from a tasting menu “hybrid”

A tasting menu traditional, usually presented in an ordered sequence of dishes (starters, intermediate, main, dessert). In a format hybrid, also integrates the versatility of flavors casual without losing the theme. For example:

• Opening with light bites, such as croquettes mediterranean or mini burgers gourmet.
  
• Dishes intermediate creative, fusing local ingredients with contemporary techniques.
  
• An “interlude” informal, featuring homemade pizzas author or potatoes Greek reinterpreted.
  
• A main dish and a close sweet, balancing originality, taste, and aesthetics.
  
• Optional: wine pairing, selected beers or cocktails author.
  

This approach allows the diner to enjoy the sophisticated, but also of those flavors more everyday wake up nostalgia and enjoyment.

Cala Roca: the perfect example in The Village

Where is and what environment you have?

Cala Roca is located in the Cra. 34 #5g-62, El Poblado, Medellín. (DirectorioDe Colombia) , This mediterranean restaurant is part of the Hotel’s 23 and is defined as a “restaurant with a beach environment in the heart of the Village” with decor that evokes the coast, warm tones and rustic touches that create a relaxed atmosphere and stylish. (23 Hotel)

The estimated times: Monday 7:00 am to 12 m, Tuesday to Thursday and Sunday from 7:00 to.m. to 9:30 p. m.; Friday and Saturday 7:00 am to 11:00 pm.

What it offers: pizza, mini burgers, potatoes, Greek, and more

Although Cala Roca is known for its approach and mediterranean dishes such as pasta, ceviche or dishes central sea, in his letter to advertised explicitly options such as pizza in the stone oven, mini burgers and fries Greek. (23 Hotel)

In its version for delivery (Rappi), are listed pizzas such as pepperoni, sausage, ham & arugula, pizza, meat, pizza carbonara with truffle, among others.

So, Cala Roca combines the proposal of the author with those dishes, “comfortable” that connect with all kinds of diners.

An experience tasting “Cala Roca style”

Here I propose a version symbolic of how it could be structured a tasting menu in Cala Roca, and integrating its specialties:

1. Mouthful of welcome: croquette mediterranean or light cover
   
2. Mini burger gourmet: a reduced version of burger with selected ingredients
   
3. Oven Pizza stone: for example, a pizza carbonara with truffle, or a pudding, in a small format
   
4. Potatoes Greek reinterpreted: roasted potatoes with spices such as oregano, lemon, olive oil and a touch of feta or tzatziki
   
5. Main dish mediterranean: a pasta, rice with seafood or fish with local ingredients
   
6. Dessert creative + coffee or digestive author
   

The pairing can include wines mediterranean, craft beers, national or cocktail fresh from the Mediterranean, according to the inspiration of the chef.

For what it is worth this experience

• Versatility: it combines sophistication with moments of familiarity (burger, pizza, French).
  
• Emotional connection: the dishes “casual” typically generate nostalgia and closeness.
  
• Originality: few proposals in Medellin offer this fusion of high-cuisine + flavors universal in a single menu.
  
• Differentiation: lets you stand out compared to other restaurants strictly gourmet or strictly casual.
