I had a really great experience at this food place and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a solid, enjoyable meal. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy some good food. The menu offers a nice variety of options, with something for every taste. Everything I ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The portions were generous, and the presentation was appealing. You can tell quality ingredients are used, which makes a big difference in the overall experience. The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout my visit. Orders were taken quickly, food came out in a timely manner, and everything was accurate. The team made sure customers were taken care of without being overbearing, which I really appreciated. The restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained, with a pleasant vibe that made dining in enjoyable. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or sitting down for a full meal, it’s a great place to eat. Overall, this food place delivers exactly what you want: tasty food, great service, and a welcoming environment. It’s clear they care about their customers and take pride in what they do.

Honestly, I was blown away by Parche! A friend had gotten me a gift card for my birthday as I am gluten-free, so I went going in with no expectations and sat with a friend at the bar with no reservations. Our bartender was great! She helped us order and recommended DELICIOUS drinks! Como un lulo and Molienda (We also yapped forever and she refilled our waters and didn't make us feel like we had to leave, although we were more than willing if they needed our seats.) We ordered the Tumaca Ceviche as was the bartender's recommendation and it was so delicious we drank all the broth. The patacones, which came with delicious salsas and sauces, and the Pesca Samira which was sooooo good! We also ordered the Arroz Attollado which actually was way too much even though it was all good so I brought that home for leftovers which which great the next day! We were so full we didn't order dessert! I think the candela would be a better drink with dessert or on its own as the cinnamon was a bit strong with fish, as that was our second drink of the night we probably didn't even need it. Otherwise, no notes! The space was beautiful, the bartender gave great service to us, and the vibes were great! Felt like such a nice Oakland Friday night and such a great surprise.

1st dining at this restaurant and it was beyond my expectations! Absolutely delicious food, wonderful cocktails, and delightful service. I felt like I was sitting in a restaurant in South America. Do unique layers of flavors of each dish we had was extremely memorable. No one was talking at our table. We were too busy devouring the food in front of us. The only disappointment was the plantain gnocchi was not available so I will come back for sure to try this enticing dish!

Absolutely wonderful experience at Parche. First time here, my mom and I came for a late lunch. The owner or manager was at the front, very friendly and sat us and brought water. The wait staff was lovely, explained a few menu items (I'm not super familiar with Colombian food), and gave recommendations. Ordered drinks and entrees - everything was beautiful. From the glassware and dishes to the drink garnish to the plating of the food. Entree sizes were bigger than expected, and we finished every bite - it was all so delicious. Kind, knowledgeable service, cool atmosphere, delicious drinks and food. Will be coming back!

Excellent food, the ceviche is all incredible. They had a huge selection of drinks. It was great to visit in December, they had holiday themed options and we shared an incredible steak.

Wow! What a great place to try Columbian food. We had the ceviche, Brussels sprouts and the bisteak on garlic mashed potatoes. ALL excellent! The server was friendly, attentive and responsive. I will be back!

The short rib shareable was incredible. The drinks were good though I didn’t know exactly what I was ordering. The atmosphere was so cool - glad we stumbled upon this place!!

My socks are all the way in Berkeley because they were KNOCKED off. The depth of flavor and creative surprises of sweet and savory in these dishes was like finding a new religion. A truly joyous culinary experience. Our queen Jackie was so wonderful and served us up some lovely recommendations. Celery root is now a staple in my home kitchen. Thank you. 🙏

Beautifully decorated with local Columbian history and traditions on display in a modern, upscale way. Staff is as amazing as the number of times they use the word. Food is craveable and leaves you planning a return visit halfway through the meal. I appreciate when chefs can add a twist to traditional meals without losing the core foundation of it, the essence of the experience and the flavors. So well done, Chef!

Food is delicious. Place is very nice. Service is great. Here is everything we tried and our rating: - Sweet potato gnocchi : very flavorful! The eggplant and hazelnut sauce base is creative! Solid 5/5 - Empanadas: must try. We ended up ordering 2 rounds of these. The frying makes it a little heavy but the taste and the aioli dip are divine. 6/5 …awesome! - Tumaco ceviche: interesting acidic flavors. The crispy plantain chips were the highlight for us. 3/5 …the acidity wasn’t hitting right but it’s still really good. - Carpaccio: the sweet tangy sauce makes this really nice. 3.5/5
