Amazing place & atmosphere!!! Definitely a must visit!!!! The staff was so nice & welcoming, the food was so good and loved the presentation, the drinks were good, they have a great sushi station and of course live singers with music and dancers ( which my whole group loved). I highly recommend this restaurant and they made our dining experience special. My friends and I had a great dinner at Ana Restaurante Bar. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. They greeted us with a refreshing water popsicle before we even stepped inside, which was such a thoughtful touch and perfect for the Cartagena heat. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully plated and full of flavor. We tried a few dishes including sushi and a creamy risotto-like plate that really stood out. The restaurant has a stylish, modern vibe with a live DJ that gave the place great energy. The music was a little loud at times, but it added to the fun atmosphere. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but the overall experience, from the service to the food and ambiance, made it worth it. A great spot for a lively night out in Cartagena. I don’t usually leave 10/10 reviews, but this place deserves it. My sister and I stumbled across this restaurant while walking around the city. The hostess immediately greeted us kindly and despite having no reservation, they welcomed us into what we never expected to be the best restaurant we visited in Cartagena. Luz was our server, she was amazing!!! She the had the best attitude since we sat down and gave the most amazing recommendations. The food was to die for, the atmosphere was incredibly with live music and immaculate vibes. Shout out to Adriana (the manager) and Linda, they were very kind and amicable. But especially, to our server Luz. You made our night! If you are visiting Cartagena, do yourself a favor and come here to dine, you won’t regret it!

Ana is a great spot in Cartagena! The relaxed atmosphere and beautiful décor make it really welcoming. Our waitress was super friendly, the food was delicious with an Asian-Caribbean twist, and the drinks came with a fun little show. Definitely recommend!
