Es un lugar relajante con comida exquisita y a buen precio. Tienen salas donde puedes reunirte privadamente con tus amigos y puedes jugar, leer, poner videos musicales y demás. Su ubicación es excelente y el servicio inigualable; a demás, en ocasiones hay cuentería, talleres y música en vivo. TAMBIÉN TIENEN DELICIOSAS OPCIONES VEGETARIANAS. SÚPER RECOMENDADO!!!

Varios ambientes para compartir, da la casualidad que ese día había una exposición de un artista local, lo cual me parece maravilloso porque fomenta la cultura. Las opciones vegetarianas estaban deliciosas.

Poleka es un sitio que abre sus puertas a los visitantes con excelente atención y maravilla por el servicio que prestan sus meseros. Es un lugar ameno para sentirte como en casa y dónde Lina y Jhon, sus administradores regalan a las personas que llegan, la oportunidad de entablar charlas amenas y de conocer un local que vibra por todos lados con la cultura del centro sur del departamento de caldas. Además de tener buena música entre rock, baladas, reggae, otros sonidos agradables y juegos de mesa para la diversión de los comensales, también en ocasiones hay músicos en vivo que garantizan que la experiencia sea más acogedora, espléndida y artística, teniendo en cuenta que el sonido de las voces, guitarras y saxofones va a llegar al corazón de quienes se encuentren en el lugar.
