Macondo

Salisbury

MACONDO HAS PERMANENTLY CLOSED AS OF JUNE 2022.

Macondo is a leafy little slice of Colombia, hidden in the backstreets of industrial Salisbury, serving authentic Colombian cuisine.

Passionate about sharing their love of Colombia with their customers, owners Miriam and Jaime invite diners to take a culinary journey from the jungles of the Amazon to the snow-capped Andes and the jewelled seas of the Caribbean.

The menu, ordering and payment is contactless and, for convenience, all done online. This means that customers can, via their phones, view, choose, discuss and order the menu items either in advance or when they arrive. View menu HERE

Prepared by a Colombian-born chef and served by friendly Spanish speaking staff, there are more than 80 regional Colombian dishes on offer and a range of cocktails, mocktails and beers unique to Macondo.

Brunch includes Huevos Desmechados (scrambled eggs and pulled pork) and El Maximo – a big breakfast of fried eggs, grilled haloumi, chorizo, bacon, beans, rice and arepa.

Vegan fare ranges from vegetarian burgers wedged between two arepas or vegetarian lime soaked hearts of palm in a ceviche. Try a golden Andean salad or delicious, hot soup such as Sopa de Lentejas – baked lentil soup with puff pastry lid.
