Booking at La Makha: a step-by-step guide to securing your gastronomic experience

The perfect table doesn’t wait. Here’s how you can book at La Makha—hassle-free.

La Makha has limited availability. The tasting menu requires specific kitchen preparation with fresh origin ingredients — some come from the Pacific coast, others from the Andean highlands, and the logistics of that supply chain don’t allow for the volume of a conventional restaurant. Booking ahead isn’t a formality: it’s the only way to make sure the experience described in this guide is the one you find when you arrive.

The process is straightforward. Here’s everything you need to know before you click reserve.

The booking process, step by step

  • 1 — Choose the official channel. Go to binnhotel.com and navigate to the La Makha section, or contact the team directly at +57 604 3220289. Avoid third-party platforms — bookings through intermediaries don’t allow for personalization and can result in extra charges or inaccurate availability.
  • 2 — Select your date, time and number of guests. The online platform shows real-time availability. If you’re looking for a specific date for a special occasion, calling directly lets you confirm with the hospitality team and coordinate details that the online form doesn’t cover.
  • 3 — Choose the type of experience. Let them know whether you want the 7-course tasting menu ($330,000 without pairings / $420,000 with pairings) or the à la carte menu. For the tasting menu, the kitchen needs advance notice to prepare that day’s ingredients. Showing up and requesting it on the spot is not the same as having communicated it when you booked.
  • 4 — Share the occasion and any dietary restrictions. If it’s an anniversary, marriage proposal, birthday or special occasion, letting the team know allows them to prepare additional touches. Dietary restrictions — shellfish allergies, gluten intolerance, vegetarian or vegan options — should be communicated at this stage so the kitchen can prepare alternatives.
  • 5 — Request the glass and metal area. If you want the most exclusive section of the restaurant — the floor-to-ceiling windows with views of El Poblado and the mountains — asking for it explicitly when you book increases your chances of getting it. Availability depends on the date and time.
  • 6 — Confirm and save your code. The online booking generates an immediate confirmation code that you’ll need to show on arrival. The hospitality team can also send confirmation by email or direct message. Having your confirmation ready avoids any friction when you arrive.

What to share when booking

The more information you provide when booking, the better the kitchen and floor team can prepare. These are the details that make a real difference:

  • Exact date and time. Fresh ingredient logistics depend on this. The kitchen organizes supplier orders in advance.
  • Number of guests. This determines the space in the glass dining room and the quantity of ingredients the kitchen prepares.
  • Tasting menu or à la carte. The 7-course menu requires advance notice. If you arrive without having communicated it, it may not be available that evening.
  • Dietary restrictions. Shellfish, gluten or nut allergies, vegetarian or vegan options. The kitchen can adapt courses if it knows ahead of time.
  • Special occasion. Anniversary, birthday, marriage proposal, honeymoon. The team can prepare personalized details — flowers, welcome champagne, special setup — if you mention it when booking.
  • Table preference. Requesting the glass and metal area, a window table, or a specific layout for groups.
  • Pairings. Confirming whether you want the curated pairing ($90,000 extra per person) allows the bar team to prepare the drinks in advance.

Why book through official channels

La Makha recommends booking only through Binnhotel’s official channels. This isn’t a marketing policy — it has direct practical consequences for the experience.

  • Real availability Third-party platforms don’t have access to real-time inventory. A booking confirmed through an intermediary may not reflect actual availability at the restaurant.
  • Direct personalization. Only official channels allow you to communicate dietary restrictions, special occasions and specific table requests that the kitchen and hospitality team need to know in advance.
  • No extra charges. External platforms charge commissions that are sometimes passed on to the guest as additional fees. Booking directly guarantees the exact price shown on the official site.
  • Connection with the team. A direct booking opens communication with the hospitality team from the start. That’s what allows the coordination of details that turn a standard reservation into a personalized experience.
