in columbia, out of town dining, wine in the city

Now that I’ve been working in Columbia more often, I’ve had a lot of time to explore around town. Mostly through word of mouth (shout out to at Motor Supply Bistro), I’ve been eating particularly well the last few weeks. Below is a Flickr album with some of the shots I’ve taken.

Included in the photo set: Taqueria Mi Pueblita II, Paul’s Philadelpha Eatery, Taqueria Jasmine, and Baan Sawan. Baan Sawan is the coolest Thai restaurant I’ve been to in a long time. The bartender and proprietor (and obvious wine geek), Sam, says he runs a “fine dining restaurant, that just happens to serve Thai food”. A comprehensive post on Baan Sawan can be found here.

    Glad to hear Motor Supply is still good! Did you try Mediterranean Tea Room?

    Thanks Sophia. I can’t recommend Baan Sawan enough. Went there again last night and sat at the bar. Fantastic food, enjoyed some nice wines, great experience. If it’s 1-2 people, I recommend the bar, and let Sam take care of you.
