The Best Places to Grab a Coffee or a Meal in Segovia

TLDR? If you head out to Segovia, you have some great places to grab an authentic Colombian meal or a hot coffee.

The traditional Antioquian town of Segovia imparts an authentic Colombian experience to its visitors, especially through their guided tours. 

The local mining industry is at the heart of the town, and many of its most popular tourist activities are connected to Segovia’s mines and caves. 

If you’ve worked up an appetite for exploring Segovia, let me walk you through the best restaurants and coffee shops this quaint town offers. 

Honk Kong Restaurant 

Located on the second floor of a building on Centenario street, the Hong Kong Restaurant is a little piece of China in Colombia. 

Their specialties include: 

• Chinese rice. Try it simple or special, or with their flavorful chicken.

• And their famous shrimp ceviche! 

The restaurant is open from 10 am to 8 pm, so stop by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

At Arepas Rellenas Montañita, you’ll find the standard arepa, but you’ll also find a ton of different variants, such as a stuffed arepa you can fill with whatever you want. 

Some of the restaurant’s most popular recipes are:
