Davivienda Restaurant Tour 2026 Medellín: World-Class Chefs Cook at Carmen, Boro and Selma

Published July 17, 2026

The Davivienda Restaurant Tour 2026 Medellín is one of the rare moments when a diner in the city can book a seat beside a chef whose restaurant sits near the top of the world’s rankings. On July 15, the Fundación Corazón Verde announced the tenth edition of its Alimentarte dinner series, bringing 17 world-class chefs to Colombia for one-night-only collaborative menus — with Medellín editions reported at Carmen, Boro and Selma.

What the Davivienda Restaurant Tour 2026 Is

The tour is the flagship dining program of Alimentarte, the food platform run by the Fundación Corazón Verde. Between August 10 and November 5, 2026, it stages 17 unique dinners across six cities — Bogotá, Barranquilla, Cartagena, Medellín, Cali and Neiva, per El Tiempo.

The format is the draw. Each night pairs an international guest chef with a Colombian host in the same kitchen, and often adds an emerging national talent in a “six-hands” collaboration, according to The Rio Times. The menu is designed for that one evening and never repeated — which is exactly why the dinners sell out.

The Chefs Coming to Colombia

This year’s roster is unusually heavy. It is headlined by Mitsuharu “Micha” Tsumura of Lima’s Maido — named the No. 1 restaurant in the world by The World’s 50 Best in 2025 — alongside names such as Virgilio Martínez of Central and Argentina’s Tomás Treschanski, per El Tiempo.

On the Colombian side, the hosts read like a who’s who: Leonor Espinosa of Leo, Álvaro Clavijo of El Chato, and Harry Sasson, reports El Tiempo. Several of these chefs are also speaking at the free Alimentarte gastronomy forum in Medellín in October — the tour is the ticketed, sit-down half of the same organization’s programming.

The Medellín Dinners: Carmen, Boro and Selma

For visitors and residents, the news is that Medellín is a full stop on the circuit. Carmen, the long-running El Poblado fine-dining room from chefs Carmen Ángel and Rob Pevitts, has a confirmed listing on Atrápalo as a Medellín host. Reporting also names Boro — the new Provenza restaurant from Celele’s Jaime Rodríguez, whose opening we covered in June — and Selma, chef Álvaro Clavijo’s Mediterranean-leaning project, among participating tables.

One honest caveat: Selma is best known as Clavijo’s Bogotá restaurant, and the tour has not published a city-by-city venue map beyond the individual Atrápalo listings. Confirm the exact restaurant, date and chef pairing on the official programming page before you commit — early press for events this size often shifts.

If you are weighing whether it is worth it, our data-backed guide to Medellín’s best fine dining puts the price in context: a tasting menu at the city’s top rooms already runs in the same range.

Prices, Tickets and the Cause

Seats are priced between COP 300,000 and COP 500,000 per person (roughly USD 75–125 at mid-2026 rates), with a 15% discount for Davivienda bank customers, according to reporting on the tour. Tickets are sold exclusively through Atrápalo, where the full lineup, chefs and per-night details are listed.

There is a reason the price feels justified beyond the food: proceeds fund the Fundación Corazón Verde, which works for the welfare of the families of Colombian police officers who have been victims of violence, per El Tiempo. You are buying a once-only meal and funding a cause in the same reservation.

The Takeaway

The Davivienda Restaurant Tour 2026 is the most bookable fine-dining event to hit Medellín this year — a chance to eat a menu that exists for a single night, cooked by chefs who rarely land in the city. Confirm the Medellín dates and venues on Atrápalo, and book early: these dinners have a long history of selling out fast.
