Urban Consultant: I recently had the pleasure of visiting the cevichería in Cartagena de Indias and I must say that it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed by the warm and friendly staff.The food in this place is simply magnificent. The ceviche that I tried was fresh, tasty and full of flavor. Every bite was a burst of freshness and the seafood was perfectly seasoned. However, the real highlight was the seafood paella rice, a typical dish of the region and expertly prepared. Every spoonful was bursting with marine flavors and transported me right back to shore. It was a real delight!The terrace where I ate offers a lovely view of the city and a relaxed atmosphere. But what really made my experience special were the live street performances. I enjoyed live music and fascinating performances while savoring my meal. It was a perfect combination of good food and entertainment.The service was also exceptional. The staff was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes. They helped me choose the best options and were always willing to answer my questions.I would highly recommend this cevicheria restaurant to anyone visiting Cartagena de Indias. It is the ideal place to enjoy a magnificent ceviche, try typical dishes of the region and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the city. You will not regret!

Evandro Moro: Unfortunately we didn’t get to seat as the lady organising the waiting list was siting other customers first despite arriving later than us. We were tired of this appalling attitude and left. The place came highly recommended, a shame that we didn’t get to eat here…

Vinícius Lacerda Marinho: The atmosphere is everything you would expect from a Cevicheria. Nice and simple. Good food but not special and service just OK too.Food: 3/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Jasmin Müller: We had a mixed ceviche because we were very curious about the quality. And yes, the quality of the ceviche did not disappoint us but honestly nearly 20 dollars for a ceviche that was that small in Colombia? The price is unreasonably high and the waiters seemed pretty bored. Honestly would not recommend going here. Definitely a rip off.

Philipp G.Z.: Heard about this place in some guides but the staff wasn’t kind and des interested for such a high priced restaurant. The food was okay but had way better ceviche in some more affordable places. For the bill they included the tip directly when giving the money back.Can’t recommend it.

Joe Lizarde: Super rich, very fresh fish and seafood. The preparation of the paella is delicious.The attention is very good and the desserts are the best.The ceviche is delicious and it is worthy of being called that

Rich Canseco Sánchez: Delicious variety of ceviches and seafood, you will delight your mouth with the exquisite flavors. Very good portions as well as excellent staff and attention.

Angele Chauviere: I have been recommended this place and unfortunately for me I was really disappointed and I had a bad experience. I think it is overrated and overpriced. I was widely ignored during my time in this restaurant, first when I entered I had to wait while the staff were finishing their conversation for someone to acknowledge me, as I was alone I was not offer any other option but to seat at the counter, where again I got ignored until the barman decided to do the other staff job and handed me a menu over the counter and then later took my order ( as I still had not received any attention from the other service staff). I was going to take a medium ceviche as I was not too hungry for lunch but then I was dishonestly convinced by the barman that the medium ceviche was ridiculously small ( he made a circle with in index and thumb to show me the size of the medium ceviche, which you can imagine is not bigger than 5-7cm of diameter), so I found myself pushed to order a super which was twice the price of the medium. I then asked for tap water ( that was on the counter in a chilled water distributor for that purpose) but again the barman scared me saying it was not safe (why would you have it on the counter for people to help themselves then?), so again I found myself pushed to order natural water from the menu at 8000, the barman tried to serve me another water that was on the menu and that was twice that price… The ceviche was good, don’t get me wrong, but that’s all it was standard good food. I had many ceviches in many countries and different places that were far better for way less money. I was pushed around while I was eating on my high chair several time by staff passing behind or leaning on the counter. As again I did not get much attention after I finished eating I stood up to ask for my bill, surprise…the printed copy included the service, taxes and… tips of almost 9000 I never been consulted for, and for a ‘good’ service I clearly did not experience. I found myself being taken for a fool (again) being told it is included, while it’s clearly not when it’s added on the top of the price of what you have ordered including fees and taxes… at that point I just wanted to pay and leave as I really despise dishonesty and just wanted to leave this situation and move on with life before it ruins it more for me. Silly me to think it was over, they then proceeded to try 3 times to process unsuccessfully my payment with two efpos machines without consulting me about which account I wished to use, until I finally put a stop to it and asked them to ask me when they were prompted by the machine to make a choice. Once they finally asked me and I was finally able to make a choice about my own money it worked… terrible customer experience management, not a sorry, I only caught one smile the entire time there, it was when the efpos said payment successful.

Mae AT: Good food, weak cocktails, rude & slow service. We sat at the bar as we did not have a reservation (it's recommended to make a reservation if you want to seat at the main restaurant room but the bar was comfortable and stylish. If it weren't because of the rude bartender, the space would have been cool). We saw the bartender make our drinks and it was all pre-mixed juices with very little technique behind them. He was wearing gloves but touching everything, cross-contaminating the ingredients. The service was slow and the staff seemed to have forgotten about us. When we did have their attention they were not very friendly. At some point we wanted to order another drink from the bartender and he responded rudely saying that our food would come soon without letting us speak. Not very welcoming. The bartender seemed to be more busy talking about the rest of the staff and his impressions of walkin customers than serving us a bottle of water. Again, rude! Food was good but not worth the staff's attitude considering that there are so many great options in Cartagena.

Eugene Kesselman: Service is .. well, non-existent. There was a gap of q hiur from appetizer to New York steak. Which came not done to order and COLD. The prices do not reflect the quality and this is after two times trying to eat here (stayed in hotel) here is the kicker. The server suggested he can warm it up. In the kitchen. And we did as how he suggested microwave .. really ? Angus Prime New York strip from Microwave. To be fair manager did not charge us for it we didn't have time to wait another 40 min for replacement.

Dave: Very disappointing meal here.Service was insanely slow…it took 20+ minutes after ordering a glass of wine for it to even be poured. Our mains for 2 people didn’t come out for about an hour after ordering. Saw all the other tables waiting around hungry too. Waiters barely came around.I had the NY Strip on recommendation from the server. It was very under-seasoned and not well seared. Presentation on the plate was sloppy. Mushrooms in the potato purée were chewy and oddly prepared. Both my wife and I didn’t end up finishing our plates.The Ceviche app was the only saving grace of the meal.Patio seating is beautiful but way too hot/humid to comfortably sit out there (like eating in a sauna).For the price relative to other Colombian restaurants and hype of this spot we left not very happy.

Miguel Prieto: Very expensive and food did not meet expectations. Rice was way overcooked, like a mush. Tuna steak frozen and very dry and chewy.

WH Zhang: The food and service was amazing. What a little gem! It’s together with another beautiful restaurant Carmen (where me and my boyfriend tried the next day), the food and cocktails are much better in Moshi in our opinion!

samuel lara 10: A very quiet place, excellent service and the food is exquisite. 100% recommended

Michelle G: Small, cute, little restaurant only seating about 25 people. I am not a seafood lover and branched out to have the seabass and almost fell out of my seat with how delicious it was. A sister restaurant to Carmen which is equally as delicious. Both a must when visiting Cartagena.

Rafael Puyana: Fantastic. Tonkatsu as a starter and Enconcado for main, with a cold beer, made for a great experience here. Bit expensive, but what place in Cartagena isn't?

SarahZ: We had the bone marrow to share as a starter and then the ramen and the burger. All was delicious!

Joseph: Never seen such an unprofessional hostess before - and the food is mediocre at best. Do yourself a favour and visit any of the excellent places close by, you won’t be disappointed.

José Miguel Peñaloza Amaya: Variety

The Bane: Impeccable flavor, but poor cost-benefit ratio.

Troy Benson: Absolutely beautiful restaurant. Incredible food and top notch ambiance. However, they don’t get 5 stars from me, because their service was disjointed and confusing. We ordered a chefs menu and the courses were delivered in a poor sequence and they had to be reminded to keep the pace up. That being said, they were busy and everything else was superb.

Christian Quimi Romero: Great place to visit in Cartagena, very tasteful food

Raymond Au: Omakase 11 December 2019Delicious Japanese/South American fusion inside Carmen’s restaurant.

Sean Pickering: Delicious fusion Japanese restaurant! Great, well balanced flavors. Interesting menu. Loved the cocktails too!

Maria Andrea Giraldo: Delicious!!! I tried the grilled pineapple curry, excellent!

Sandra: This place was quite a surprise. Firstly, my family and I walked into Carmen hoping to snatch a table for an early dinner. Well, with no reservation that plan backfired.Thankfully, the staff suggested Moshi. Moshi serves Japanese cuisine, and is nestled inside Carmen. I ordered the tasting menu w/cocktails and it was an amazing meal. This review was long over due, one year to be exact, and I can’t recall all of the dishes. However, if you’re a foodie and appreciate small surprises in every dish, then I recommend the tasting menu.

Inbar Niv: Delicious food! The only reason for giving 4 rather than 5 is the high prices regarding to the dish size

Catalina Alfonso Barragan: I loved the food in Medellín and it fascinated me in Cartagena

Manav Khandelwal: Our favorite meal in Cartagena by far! The setting was beautiful with an outdoor courtyard and indoor air conditioned tables. The service was fast and generous; they brought us an extra small appetizer and an extra dessert that were both fantastic and on the house. For food, we loved everything we got: the ceviche, the Al pastor tacos, the burrata salad, the brisket, and the pork belly. Everything was just out of this world especially the pork belly. Portions are fairly even between entradas and mains.

J. Savage: Carmen is not safe place for people of color. I was shocked and saddened by my recent visit to Carmen of Cartagena . It was especially disappointing since we had a positive dining experience at theMedellin location. We knew weren’t welcome from the minute we entered the restaurant. The female hostess made it clear from the moment we walked in the door that we weren’t welcomed there. I was shocked and sadden because Carmen highly recommended. I was in awe because she was a women of color. America has it issues, but it is rare that i am disrespected by someone that looks like me. I want my racism the good ole fashion American way by folks that don’t look like me. I recommend that people of color patronize establishments where your money is welcomed. This is not Carmen of Cartagena. Kudos, to Mar y Zielo for getting it right. Also, kudos to the male host that tried his best to accommodate our party. I would return if I could deal with him. Again, avoid Carmen of Cartagena. Stick to the the one in Medellin.

Rafael Pellens: Incrível.O lugar é lindo, bem localizado e tem um ambiente bem agradável.Pedimos o menu de 7 tempos acompanhado de bebidas.Para cada prato e cada bebida, o time vinha contextualizar e explicar.Saímos satisfeitos com a quantidade de comida mas extremamente felizes com a qualidade de tudo.

Johanna Villegas: I visited during rainy season, so beware- it can be quite hot in the evenings. The restaurant provides bug spray but when making your reservation, their system does not specify that you may choose from an Air conditioned area or not. Keep this in mind and ensure you follow up with the restaurant to ensure you get the area you want.Overall, the service was fabulous. The food was good enough. I will not be back but I recommend you check it out at least once.

Prateek Ahluwalia: Thoroughly enjoyed the dinner and ambience. Highly recommended!

Julia Correa Ochoa: They don't have many vegan options on the menu but they are always very open to making vegan dishes. They surprised us with a delicious tasting menu. We value a good attitude and creativity with vegan options. Thank you

Paul Major: Brisket was awesomeLas palmas fish was even betterStrawberry shortcake was perfect way to top off a great mealThanks Keiner C. for your incredible service and friendly attitude

Alison Rooney: I had the opportunity to dine here during a recent trip to Cartagena. There is a lot of buzz for this spot. Reservations require a credit card be several follow up messages. I chose the 7 course tasting with wine. I sat outside on the patio. The service began with finesse and attention and sadly finished on the clumsy side. The courses are small and the pairings range from a local beer to a wine with peppermint. Some of the dishes were quite outstanding and the flavors were complex. Some like the chickpea dish fell flat for me. The server doing the wine pairing was rushed and never took time to discuss the wines. I enjoyed the experience and the chance to take part in a space that is unique and deeply rooted in the home city.

Hector Camero: We dined at 7 times. The experience was unique. The attention of Juan Carlos unsurpassed. Only in restaurants with Michelin stars have I eaten at this level. Do not stop coming if you are in Cartagena.

Michael C. Delapena: This restaurant was recommended by the manager of my hotel and it didn't disappoint. Located in Cartagena's historic district, it is super cute. They also had live music. I ordered a seafood dish, which came with shrimp, mussels and octopus. Delicious! My partner ordered a beef specialty, and she liked it plenty. We started with empanada appetizer, which I also recommend. They brought yuca bread on the house. Our server was very friendly and answered all our questions. I would return.

Ricardo Garcia: Wonderful place, excellent attention and service, fantastic food. recommendable

Jamie Van Kerckhof: Service and food is first class. Very happy with our lunch here. Wish it was a fri/sat as I hear they have live music too.

On the other hand, the potions on the plates are very small, I ate a hot dog at the front of the place. The toilets were very dirty.
