We also need one upscale place because we want to treat our hosts. Any ideas?

Also recommend both cocina de socorro (fancier and has best seafood rice i had in all of colombia) and casa de socorro (more casual also good but not as good as the frou frou cocina de socorro. this nytimes article discusses both: http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/05/25/travel/25hours.html for a nice, cheap dinner without many other travelers, grab a pizza at pizza en el parque - you order at the walk up counter and then eat in the park with a stool as your table - very fun and lots of locals (at least i think they were local folks). its on the tiny parque fernandez madrid. most excellent bakery (gold coated dulce de leche brownies) - La Milla. very fancy but worth it for an amazing sugar fix.
