Mother’s Day in Medellín has two recurring gastronomic problems. The first is the overload of restaurants with special menus that are in reality the regular menu at a special price. The second is the saturation of spaces where the experience degrades because the restaurant tries to serve double its usual table volume.
La Makha has neither problem. It does not create a special menu disconnected from its concept because its regular offering is already at the level Mother’s Day deserves. And it does not saturate the space because the restaurant’s service model does not allow that level of turnover without sacrificing quality.
What La Makha offers for Mother’s Day
La Makha’s Mother’s Day offering is its regular concept, with the possibility of adding specific details for the celebration.
The 7-course tasting menu is the most complete experience: Corn Cracker with Bahía Solano tuna tartare, Colombian Pacific Ceviche, locally grown Oyster Mushrooms worked with plant-based butter, Catch of the Day according to availability, Pork, Caldas Lamb with capelletti and Paipa cheese foam, and a seasonal dessert. Each course has a curated drink in the pairing version ($420,000 COP per person).
The à la carte menu allows each person to choose according to their preference, with main courses such as Yolombó Duck Magret with North of Santander peach kimchi or Creamy Rice with Pacific prawns and hibiscus powder from the Montes de María. The à la carte price range is between $150,000 and $250,000 COP per person including a drink.
The details that transform a dinner into a celebration
Booking in advance and indicating that it is Mother’s Day activates a series of possibilities that are not available for a standard reservation.
The table in the glass and metal area. It is the most exclusive zone of the restaurant. Requesting it when booking significantly increases the chances of securing it for a special date. That area has an acoustics and lighting that distinguish it from the rest of the dining room.
The floral arrangement on the table. The team can coordinate seasonal flowers on the table before the group arrives. They are not generic flowers: the type of flowers or preferred colors can be indicated at booking so the coordination is specific to the guest of honor.
The welcome drink. Champagne, La Makha author cocktail or mocktail according to the group’s preference. It appears on the table when the group arrives, without anyone having to request it in the moment.
The special dessert presentation. The seventh course of the tasting menu can have a specific presentation for the celebration, with a message coordinated in advance with the team. It is the type of detail that turns the dessert into the most emotionally charged moment of the evening.

The natural extension: Etro Rooftop after dinner
One of the advantages of celebrating Mother’s Day at La Makha is that the experience can have immediate continuity in the same building.
Etro Rooftop on the 16th floor of Binn Hotel has the 360-degree panoramic view of the Valle de Aburrá, author cocktails with Colombian ingredients and the weekend music calendar. The transition from La Makha to Etro takes the time of an elevator: no transfer, no looking for a taxi, no additional planning.
The sunset from the 16th floor (the color sequence over the Antioquian western mountains between 5 and 7 in the evening) and the city lights illuminating the valley after that hour produce a visual backdrop that turns a closing drink into a moment with its own weight. If dinner at La Makha starts at noon or 1 in the afternoon, the group arrives at Etro Rooftop exactly during the sunset window.
How to plan Mother’s Day at La Makha step by step
Step 1. Decide the format: tasting menu with pairing ($420,000 COP), tasting menu without drinks ($330,000 COP) or à la carte ($150,000–$250,000 COP estimated).
Step 2. Book 7 to 14 days in advance through Binn Hotel’s website or WhatsApp. Indicate that it is Mother’s Day, the number of people, the preferred time and any dietary restrictions.
Step 3. Request specific details: table in the glass and metal area, flowers, welcome drink, special dessert presentation.
Step 4. If continuing at Etro Rooftop after dinner, indicate it at booking so the team can coordinate the rooftop reservation for the group.
