4.8 / 5.0(3,712 reviews)

This place is a must try! We had lunch here and it was so good that we came back again the same night for dinner. The service was absolutely amazing from Edgar who was so attentive! One of the best! I cannot praise him enough. And Leonardo as well who was amazing! Would 100% recommend While searching for a dinner place, found this on our way and wanted to try it out based on the reviews. It had a number of awards to its name. The food served definitely justified the awards. They had a live singer on the mic. which added to the nice vibe. The only thing that I missed, especially when you are at a fine dining place, was the lack of attention to detail. For the price, I believe the service could’ve been better. Cristian was an amazing waiter. He gave the same service you would get a 5 star restaurant in the US. Served the food after it was brought to the table, changed out plate and all silverware after each plate of food and was even detailed enough to make sure the logo on the plates faced us. Food was also amazing. Oxtail croquettes was one of the best bites during this trip and many others. Seafood platter for 2 was also good. I would highly recommend this place, specially to take a date.

We had such an amazing experience at El Burlador. By far one of the best restaurants in Cartagena. We ordered the Truffle Eggplant Chips as an appetizer, and the presentation itself it’s a work of art. My boyfriend had the Chef Signature Tongue and he just won’t shut up about it! My order was the Beef Sirloin and I couldn’t be more perfect. Our host was Juan, he was just the best! If you’re in Cartagena this place it’s definitely worth a visit. Can’t wait to try it again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing experience at this Mediterranean restaurant in Colombia! The food was absolutely delicious fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and beautifully presented dishes. But what truly made our visit unforgettable was the outstanding service. Our waiter Edgar were beyond attentive, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and top-notch service!
