A tourist's experience in Sibari told in the first person
I arrived in Medellín expecting to discover a vibrant, creative city full of contrasts. I had heard a lot about its transformation, its people, and its culinary scene, but I never imagined that one of the most memorable experiences of my trip would be linked to a rooftop dinner. That's how I discovered Sibari Rooftop, an Italian restaurant that, without me knowing it, would become one of my clearest memories of the city.
As a tourist, one always seeks out places that allow one to understand the spirit of a destination. Not just monuments or traditional tours, but spaces where one experiences the city as its inhabitants do. Sibari was exactly that: a gateway to Medellín's contemporary lifestyle and gastronomy.
Medellín desde la mirada de un visitante
Medellín feels different from day one. The city has its own rhythm, a constant energy, and an interesting mix of modern and authentic. During my stay, I noticed that many of the best things to do revolved around food and nightlife, especially in areas like El Poblado.
There, amidst streets lined with restaurants and bars, rooftops stand out for offering a unique perspective of the city. Sibari Rooftop appeared in several recommendations, both from locals and other travelers, and I decided to include it in my culinary tour.
The arrival at Sibari Rooftop
From the moment I arrived, I knew this wasn't just any restaurant. The atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed; modern yet welcoming. Going up to the rooftop and seeing the city from above was the first sensory experience.
As a tourist, you really appreciate feeling comfortable in a new place. At Sibari, the experience felt natural from the start. The space invited you to linger, observe, and enjoy yourself at your leisure. It was clear that I was in an Italian restaurant in Medellín designed for those seeking more than just a simple meal.
First tastes: Gastronomy as a universal language
Italian cuisine has that unique ability to feel familiar, even when you're far from home. At Sibari, this feeling was combined with a contemporary approach that I found very appealing.
Contemporary Italian cuisine was evident in every detail: balanced flavors, meticulous presentation, and dishes that invited you to savor the moment. As a visitor, it was easy to connect with the concept, without needing complex explanations.
Cada bocado reforzaba la idea de que estaba viviendo una experiencia gastronómica pensada para compartir y disfrutar, algo que como turista se agradece profundamente.
El rooftop: Ver Medellín desde otra perspectiva
Uno de los momentos más memorables fue observar cómo Medellín cambiaba con el paso del día. La luz del atardecer, la transición hacia la noche y las luces de la ciudad crearon un escenario difícil de olvidar.
Rooftops in Medellín offer a unique way to experience the city, and Sibari does so in a very special way. It's not a noisy or excessive space; it's a place where the view complements the experience without overshadowing it.
Para mí, ese equilibrio fue clave. Me permitió disfrutar del entorno sin sentir que estaba en un lugar diseñado solo para impresionar.
Cocktails and ambiance: A complete experience
The experience at Sibari wasn't limited to the food. The signature cocktails and the ambiance played a fundamental role in how I experienced the evening.
The cocktails were visually appealing, but also well-balanced in flavor. As a traveler, I greatly appreciate it when aesthetics don't compromise quality, and here I felt that both went hand in hand.
The music, design, and lighting created an atmosphere that invited conversation and enjoyment, something ideal to end the day after exploring the city.

A place that connects with gastronomic tourism
During my trip, I realized that culinary tourism in Medellín is booming. More and more travelers are seeking authentic experiences that reflect the local lifestyle.
Sibari Rooftop fulfills that role perfectly. It's a place where tourists and locals meet, where the experience feels genuine and well-executed. For me, it was a way to get to know Medellín from the inside, through its gastronomy and nightlife.
Why I would recommend Sibari to other travelers
If someone were to ask me today where I would recommend a dining experience in Medellín, Sibari would undoubtedly be on the list. Not just for the food, but for the complete experience it offers.
It's an ideal spot for couples, for a special dinner, or simply to enjoy a quiet evening in the city. As a tourist, I felt like I was experiencing something truly representative of Medellín, not just a generic experience.
Sybari as part of the trip's memories
At the end of a trip, certain places become vivid memories. Sibari Rooftop is one of those places for me. Not just because of what I ate or drank, but because of how it made me feel: relaxed, welcome, and connected to the city.
Ese tipo de experiencia es la que uno busca cuando viaja, y la que termina recomendando sin dudar.
