Where to celebrate an anniversary or a birthday in Medellín

An anniversary or a birthday is remembered for small details: the table, the time, someone knowing the occasion. Almost all of them are settled when you book, not on the day. Here is what to look for and what to ask for.

What to look for when choosing the place

• Privacy. A secluded table changes the evening more than any decoration. Ask whether there are more private tables and which way they face.
• Noise. If you want to talk, a rooftop with loud music is not the place. Ask what the atmosphere is like at the time you plan to go.
• The time. For a couples’ dinner, arriving a little before sunset, around 5:30 p.m., gives you two dinners in one: the light and then the city lit up.
• What they do for the occasion. A touch such as a dessert or a dressed table says a lot about how they look after guests. Ask what they offer and how much notice they need.

What to ask for when you book

Say what the occasion is in the first message, with the date, the time and how many people. If anyone has a dietary restriction, mention that too. And ask for the area: not every table has the same view.

A celebration evening, step by step

• Arrive about 15 minutes before the reservation time, unhurried, to come up and settle in.
• Order starters to share while the sun goes down: sunset is around six and does not last long.
• Move on to the main course once the city is lit up, which is when the view changes tone.
• Leave dessert and the toast for the end, without watching the clock.

It gets cooler up high after sunset. If the celebration is in the evening, bring a light jacket.

How we do it at Nemoratto

On the terrace there are more private tables meant for couples, and you can choose whether to face south or north over the city. For anniversaries and birthdays we give a complimentary dessert and, if you would like it, we decorate the table. We need at least one day’s notice. If you are a larger group, ask about the private dining room and we will tell you how that date looks.

We are open every day from 12:00 to 23:00, so the sunset slot, around six, falls within normal hours. Reservations are made on WhatsApp, at +57 323 311 9701.
