La Barra de Kate Colombian Restaurant & Cafe

You're tucked underneath the railway arches near London Bridge, somewhere between Borough and the river, and suddenly the smell of fresh arepas hits you. La Barra de Kate feels like someone's taken a slice of Bogotá and wedged it into SE1. The menu's straightforward and honest: empanadas that actually have flavour, bandeja paisa that doesn't mess about, and coffee that tastes like it's been treated with respect. It's the kind of place where locals pile in for breakfast and stay for lunch, and the staff actually know what they're doing.
