3rd-floor Avianca Sala Restaurant beats most landside options
On the airside 3rd floor of T2 near gate 28, Avianca Sala Restaurant sits inside the domestic Avianca Sala VIP, so you need lounge access (status, business-class ticket, or day pass) to reach the food. It runs 24 hours, which matters in this terminal where many other spots close overnight or early. Think buffet plus snacks rather than a full sit-down restaurant with table service.
Food is included once you’re in the lounge, but the effective price tier is $$ when you factor in a paid day pass. Rating hovers around 3 out of 5: fine to eat here, but it won’t replace a good Bogotá restaurant in town. Expect rotating hot trays, cold salads, basic desserts, and the usual coffee machines and soft drinks. Alcohol selection is modest and varies by time of day.
Compared with the El Dorado and LATAM lounges in T1, frequent flyers say the Avianca Sala food feels more functional than memorable. On a domestic hop out of T2, though, it often still beats buying a sad sandwich at a generic gate kiosk near 28. Aim for fresh-looking items just brought out from the kitchen; turnover is highest in the morning peak between 05:00 and 09:00 and again around the evening bank from 18:00 to 21:00.
Quality swings a bit by hour, but there are usually at least one or two hot Colombian-style dishes plus simpler Western options. Coffee from the machines is decent for an airport lounge; juices and soft drinks are self-serve in coolers. Seating is spread around the buffet area, so you can keep an eye on the food while watching the screens for T2 domestic departures.
Tip: If you’re hungry and already airside in T2, eat here first, then move to your gate at 28 with just a drink or snack; late-night and early-morning flights often have very limited alternatives nearby.
