OCI.Mde is the contemporary fine-dining room that keeps turning up on lists of the best restaurants in Colombia — and the one El Poblado venue where we would tell you to double-check the details before you go.
Colombian ingredients, Asian technique
OCI.Mde works in the same bracket as Carmen and Elcielo — small composed plates, a serious wine list, a room built for a long dinner — but with a kitchen that leans on Asian method rather than European. It has appeared on national best-of lists, including a placing in a Time Out round-up of Colombia’s top restaurants, though we have not been able to confirm that directly at source.
The restaurant has been at Carrera 33 for years, despite the older addresses still floating around on aggregator sites under its earlier identity. Those are stale data, not a recent move.
What we could not verify
We would rather tell you what we do not know than print a number we cannot stand behind. For OCI.Mde specifically:
- Opening hours. Every source is third-party and they disagree. The one thing they agree on is that it is closed Sunday and Monday.
- Prices. We found only an undated aggregator estimate, which is not good enough to publish.
- Online booking. The phone number is consistent across sources; whether there is a booking platform, we could not confirm.
- The chef. One low-quality page names someone. One page is not a source.
From Parque Lleras
Carrera 33 sits west of the Lleras and Provenza cluster. It is a short taxi or app car from the park, and a walkable distance in daylight if you like walking — El Poblado climbs, so factor the hill.
If you want a surer booking
Both of these publish their own hours, prices and booking links, which makes them easier to plan around.

By phone, on +57 318 240 2859. We could not confirm whether an online booking platform exists.
How much does OCI.Mde cost?
We could not find a price published by the restaurant, only an undated third-party estimate, so we have not printed one. It sits in the same fine-dining band as Carmen and Elcielo.
