A5 wagyu, sushi and a DJ - the SLVJ scene
Salvaje is the Medellin outpost of SLVJ, the international group with rooms in Miami, Madrid and Bogota, and it is squarely a scene. The concept is author's cuisine that fuses Japanese technique with Latin American and Mediterranean flavor, served with a DJ and rooftop energy - a room the group describes as exuberant, elegant and a little unexpected.
The kitchen trades in premium: A5 Japanese wagyu, king crab, snow and soft crab, and Japanese ferments like kimchi and umeboshi woven through the menu. Sushi is the anchor, with signatures such as the truffled king-salmon tiradito and the amber-jack tiradito.
Come for the energy as much as the food. It runs late - the doors stay open until two in the morning every night - and it plays as a date-night and going-out room rather than a quiet dinner, with the music climbing as the evening goes.
Because it is part of an international brand, it draws a well-traveled crowd who know the SLVJ name from Miami or Madrid, which gives it a cosmopolitan edge among the local rooms.
Dress to be seen and time it late. A reservation is essential on weekends, when the rooftop fills early. Reserve on OpenTable through the link below.
