La Sala de Laura

Bogotá

New Entry

An urban space with a sophisticated ambience located under the same roof as Leo Restaurante in Bogotá, La Sala de Laura draws inspiration from Colombia’s biodiversity.

Sommelier and beverage consultant Laura Hernández has long worked with small producers in remote regions who had been affected by social inequality to create a new narrative in Colombian distillates and cocktails for Leo. At La Sala de Laura, she takes her liquid universe to new heights with Territorio, a line of craft spirits that embraces biology, anthropology and sustainability while expressing biospheres.

From the bird-inspired, nine-strong cocktail menu Avistamiento comes The Toucan, whose alcohol base is Territorio Montaña, with purple granadilla, macadamia and sesame and a macambo cordial. Elegant small plates with plenty of artistic flair are prepared by award-winning chef Leo Espinosa, Laura’s mother and business partner. Order the tasting menu with highlights that include a mini lobster hot dog and enjoy miniature versions of the cocktails, each served in the beautiful hand-crafted stemware of Avistamiento.
