La Vitrola Restaurante

This was one of the restaurants that really satisfied me to the core on my first ever visit to Cartagena. No other restaurant came close on my first round visit to Cartagena, not even slightly close. We went all in with starters, entrees and dessert — everything hit the spot! The service was excellent and our server was super friendly and helpful. All in all it was a memorable dining experience - chef kiss!

This was the perfect spot to celebrate our honeymoon. The service was great, food was delicious and the ambiance was romantic. We enjoyed a 6-piece band during our dinner and were surprised when they congratulated us on our marriage (when our server also surprised us with a lovely chocolate cake). Overall, the experience was incredible and we’d highly recommend for great food or to celebrate a special occasion

We went to dinner at La Vitrola, not far from our hotel. Unfortunately, our table was poorly located, and the staff displayed an unpleasant arrogance. The food was decent. However, the prices were a bit too high, especially for the glass of wine, and there was a strong smell of gas in the air. While the food was enjoyable, our overall experience at the restaurant was the worst we had in Colombia due to the service, the prices, and the atmosphere. Better options are available.

This was recommended to us by a local. Absolutely wonderful! You start your experience off greeted at the door and walk through the smallest/shortest door that is so cute. We shared a bottle of wine and never had to pour for ourselves because our sever was constantly checking on us. Every single staff member was so gracious and kind throughout our entire evening. We ate the octopus ceviche and the salad with pears and blue cheese. For dinner we shared the picaña streak. Melt in your mouth delicious!!

The food was absolutely delicious, especially the fish dish with the lemon butter and capers! The salad was tasty and the beef was seasoned very well! They topped it all off with a great band, which added to the atmosphere. I would definitely come back if I lived here.

This restaurant was highly recommended by the manager at my hotel with the warning that they have a dress code that doesn't allow shorts. I only brought shorts so I went to a mall and bought a pair of Colombian jeans. The restaurant is in a beautiful historic district in the walled section of the city. Our servers were very attentive. I selected the shrimp ravioli. Great dish! My partner a seafood risotto which was very tasty. We started with an octopus appetizer which was outstanding. The meal ended with flan for dessert. The place also has live music and the band was pretty good. I'd probably give them 5 stars if I didn't have to buy pants to eat there.

Delicious food, wonderful service and a nice band playing in the background. Absolutely must have the coconut cake dessert. 4 of us split it- Divine!

incredible service (by far the best service i’ve had in Colombia). we loved the atmosphere and live music that blended so well into the background and was not too loud. food was delicious. great restaurant in Cartagena, can’t recommended enough.
