"Centrally located on Parque de los Novios, Ouzo serves the city's best Mediterranean dishes, including brick oven pizzas, seared octopus and roasted lamb with orzo. The chef and owner, Michael McMurdo, began his culinary career in New York City at the Michelin-starred Greek restaurant Anthos. On a visit to Colombia, however, he was charmed by Santa Marta and decided to make his home in the city, opening Ouzo in 2011. The result is a celebrated Greek restaurant in an unexpected corner of the Caribbean."

A fantastic dining experience. The food was absolutely amazing—beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and clearly made with great care. Every dish we tried was excellent and really showcased the quality of the kitchen. While they didn’t have some of the nicer wines available on the list, it didn’t take away from the experience at all. The service was great—friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout the meal. Staff were always on hand looking to help. Overall a superb restaurant and still very deserving of five stars. We would happily return.

Went with some fellow Canadians to celebrate my birthday. Had beef tenderloin. Absolutely delicious, sweet and sutil wine sauce. They have some great craft beers by Siete Olas! Waitress was excellent. Am a firm believer in learning the language of where you are going, but if you have trouble the online menu is in inglés o español !

Very tasty and delicious. Indoor and outdoor seating and it can get busy quickly at dinner hours. Indoor and outdoor seating, nestled in a popular busy neighborhood. Had the seafood orzo and a kombucha and it was tasty, orzo had a light pesto-like sauce and was probably a good portion size (but it tastes so good leaving you wanting more!).

We stopped by for a late lunch and were seated at a table in the patio. The atmosphere was really charming and comfortable. The only downside was the heat, which of course is not something the place can control. We ordered two pizzas and they were okay, nothing extraordinary but still enjoyable. Overall, we had a very good experience thanks to the combination of efficient and friendly service, a pleasant setting, and a welcoming vibe. Everything came together nicely and made it a great stop.

The octopus appetizer was perfect (sadly didn't get a pic). Perfectly charred and flavorfully. The orzo on both our mains was yummy but the pork special dish was a bit buttery and so smooth so won out. Noise from the people in the park can be bold so go into it knowing that's part of the vibe and you'll walk away happy.

Great place with fantastic food. The pizza is undeniably the star of the show. I had the pork and it was kinda gamey and porky, not bad by any means but not fantastic either. The ambiance is relaxed and very nice, some wondering musicians can be a bit much when it comes to keeping a nice vibe but that doesn’t take away from the incredible service and amazing pizza. 10/10 would go back.

My seafood pasta was decent, but my boyfriend’s beef was absolutely delicious—cooked to perfection, just the way he wanted. The restaurant had live music, which we really enjoyed, and the service was incredibly attentive. It made for a lovely dining experience overall.
