Filemon Parrilla - La Ceja

Place is nice with good parking and facilities. Food speciality is the grill, but rather expensive plate!!!, with the same money you could pay a very good meat in good Medellin Grill restaurant. Some waiters are novels and foreigners (ve) so not very friendly and transparent.

It's been over 3 1/2 years since I wrote the first review for Filemon Parrilla. I'm glad to say that this fine restaurant is still #1 in my book... many of my local friends will agree with me. Last weekend we celebrated birthday #8 for our niece. Jhon (the owner) was on board and helped us celebrate. As always, the Filemon Parrilla team was on his game. My beef solomito was cooked for perfection. We also loved the extra large pitcher of Sangria. Since I was the designated driver, I only tasted the cried fruits. Filemon Parrilla is a place where we can enjoy special occasions. Many of my expat friends in the Pueblo-Dine also here. Jhon and his team are doing an excellent job here... and Filemon is our go-to-place for excellent home and imported beef. BTW, the pork, chicken and salmon dishes are also above the top. Filemon is highly recommended!

This delightful restaurant is situated in the beautiful countryside between Rionegro and the pueblo, La Ceja. Last Sunday, we met a couple of friends at Filemon to celebrate The Day of the Woman. Our dining experience at this cozy parrilla was a pleasant surprise. Great food excellent service reasonable prices Outstanding value. We made reservations for 1:00 pm, and when we arrived the dining room was virtually empty. By the time our friends arrived 15 minutes later, it was filled to capacity. I guess everyone had the same idea. The restaurant offers a beautiful vista of the countryside. The dining room is comfortable, cozy and conducive to convivial dining among families and friends. Filemon offers a variety of beef, pork and chicken prepared over a charcoal fire. The meat is excellent quality and aged to perfection before the chefs at Filemon perform their magic. As far as beef goes, the menu offers both standard and premium cuts. The premium cuts are extra thick and comparable to USDA quality . A typical grilled beef dish will run about 27,000 pesos $8.50 US while the extra thick cut beef selections are priced at 36,000 pesos $11.50 US . The portions are generous, too. I ordered the BBQ ribs which set me back 23,000 pesos $7.00 US . The portion was not quite a full rack of ribs, but more than half. My ribs were tasty and fall-off-the-bone tender. They were excellent in every respect and among the best ribs I have eaten in El Oriente. I would not classify them as babyback, but they were still just as tender and tasty. I also finished up my wife 's pepper steak which was excellent. It was not as tender as I am used to, but it passed muster. Garden salad and a choice of potato accompanies each meal. Fried plantain chips are served as a complimentary entree. For those who are still hungry after their meal, a dessert selection is available. The bar offers a selection of soft drinks, juices, beer, liquor and international wines. The service at Filemon is both warm and professional. Our waiter, Jorge, was on top of his game and tended to our every need and request. Excellent WIFI Internet is available in the dining room. Filemon Parrilla is highly recommended and one of the best values in El Oriente for a great meal.

Food is still very good, excellent attention but prices are already very high. with less money you can get the same dishes and equal service in other restaurants of the east anti-oqueño.

Visiting the east antioqueño, we were recommended this restaurant, very good service and the pkatos that were asked very delicious. I recommend the stemon solo only 1/2. It's worth repeating.
