The people behind Cento Mani are spreading their passion for their Columbian heritage by opening a second restaurant, Club Colombia. Like Cento Mani, things are pretty casual, but the brighter, more colourful and more open space allows them to host live music that is audible from down the street.

All the floor staff are Colombian, and as they go through the menu and bring dishes to the table, they’re able to give detailed descriptions, embellished with the stories behind them. The tomato-based Caribbean Prawn Ceviche is a tangy way to get the tastebuds firing. Chicharron Envigadeño con papa criolla is a dish of super crunchy deep-fried pork belly and Colombian yellow potatoes that are sweet and creamy. Plantains feature heavily in the menu, and the first thing we try is the Fried Green Plantain with hogao, Colombian sour cream and guacamole. The combination of hogao, a tomato and onion sauce, with the guacamole and pulled beef was a tasty combination.

Larger dishes include the flavoursome and comforting Colombian Rice with prawns and chorizo, cooked on a base of coconut milk, and Slow-cooked Pork Spare Ribs cooked with sugarcane sauce and aguardiente. There’s a neat selection of sides too. Our favourite are the Yuquitas Fritas, fried cassava sticks, which go particularly well with the Colombian sour cream.
