Life as we know it has changed drastically and because of this, many businesses and restaurants have found new ways of reinventing themselves. Here are our 10 top choices for restaurants in Bogotá that have delivery and/or take out to support during and after the quarantine.
Since the beginning of the Covid-19 outbreak, many restaurants and local shops around Colombia have closed their doors and Bogotá, of course, is no exception. This has led to new challenges and opportunities to rethink how to make a profit, especially for local businesses who are more likely to be affected by the self-isolation measures.
We are facing a situation that perhaps we never could have imagined and it has changed every aspect of our lives. Now, as constantly changing humans, we need to evolve with the situation as well. We have more time on our hands than ever before, and it has opened up new ways of doing things: people are working from home, learning at home, and staying inside for as long as needed to be safe. However, some of these changes have brought new adjustments for businesses.
We have always enjoyed eating out, talking with friends over a good dinner, or having a dessert at the local pastry shop. And let’s face it: we all love eating and we all have to eat. Eating is a necessity and cooking may be tiring from time to time. That is why now is the perfect time to try delivery food services or takeout provided by restaurants while supporting local business, restaurants, and small producers.
Some restaurants are adjusting their menus and adapting their business plans by taking over social media, creating a do-it-yourself experience, or teaching recipes for you to try at home. Others have even come up with quarantine meal packs. But, all of them are creating new strategies for surviving this pandemic and staying afloat.
Right now, it is important to support our local community, stay safe and positive, take care of each other, and try new things, which is always a good option. For this reason, we have made a list of the top 10 local restaurants and businesses with delivery or takeout options to support during the quarantine and self-isolation.

This too, shall pass, and we can learn from it. We invite you to keep calm and, with a little extra help, support each other locally. We will make it together! Hope you enjoyed this info about restaurant delivery or take out in Bogotá.
