DOÑA LOLA comida del caribe

I came here for my husband’s 40th birthday and had an incredible dining experience. The staff was very attentive. The restaurant was absolutely beautiful and the food was out of this world!! if I could give this place 10 stars, I would. They even sent us a birthday dessert on the house! We came on a Friday and they had two live violinists which were great. Would definitely come back!! Highly recommend! Thank you to our server Alejandro!!!!!!

What can I say , I’ve been very disappointed in the fine dining experiences available here in Cartagena . I was beginning to believe New York City and Miami contained the pinnacle of Colombian Cuisine . I’m please to inform you that Dona Lola completely changed my mind . Upon entering I was greeted by Sergio Abril who also became my most excellent guide to what would become an excursion into some of the tastiest elements Colombia has to offer. Firstly the ambiance gives me John Wick Continental Hotel vibes . Sort of an upscale twilight contrasted by the black and white floors , grim yet amiable decor . Trusting in the young Sergio I took towards his recommendations for prawns and Ribeye steak . Finishing with a classic revised Flan all accompanied by the various cocktails that seemed to pair well with each course . The Prawns were doused in a flavorful cream based sauce . Teamed with garlic and herbs the taste of the small meaty morsels immediately transports you to an alternate dimension . Where chefs and their satellite personnel take extreme, almost fanatic pride in the product they present . Paired with a Casa De La Felipe pineapple centered cocktail I was immediately smitten . I was saddened when it was finished but my jovial demeanor was doubled once I bit into the ribeye steak . As an American, I’m no stranger to the sampling of this bovine beast . So believe me when I tell you , the cut of meat doesn’t do the talent of the chef and line cooks talent justice . The Meat alone was sensational , but just for good measure they decided in their wisdom to place a fresh peppercorn sauce on the side that takes this dish from Mars all the way to Pluto . I was honestly stunned as I have spent far far more money on a drastically inferior piece of meat in the past . Then the Flan , all I can say is Wow . As a Miami native, Cubans have force fed me Flan my entire life . However this one was far less dense then its subordinate counterparts . Light and airy while dancing on a bed of coconut doused in a tangy honey perhaps apricot caramel infusion . I engorged myself to the last drop while already full to the brim . I honestly want to eat here tomorrow all over again but unfortunately I’m here to discover the best of Cartagena and I won’t be sure if the mountain goes any higher unless I continue to climb . Five amazing stars …..Bravo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Incredible! I would eat here every single day if I could. Everything from appetizer to the dessert was an experience of taste. The decor and concept of the Resturant was one of my favorite aspects of this experience. Andres was absolutely the best waiter I have had in a long time very attentive and detail oriented!! Phenomenal!

Our meal at Casa Lola was delicious. From the ambience, attention to detail with the food preparation but most importantly our phenomenal server Alejandro. Alejandro is a consummate professional and did his job with grace and poise. Always but not too often checking in to see if our table was satisfied. Would recommend.

We loved this place! First of all, the place is amazing, spectacular interior design. Then you get the best service ever, people is kind and great. The food was also amazing. We ordered 3 entree's and 2 main dishes. Absolutely delicious. Then we went to the rooftop to enjoy some coffee and deserts, which off course were also amazing.
