Restaurante Celele

A Culinary Adventure in Cartagena If you're seeking a gastronomic experience that will transport you to a world of flavor, Celele is the place to be. Chef Jaime Rodriguez has crafted a culinary masterpiece that celebrates the vibrant flavors of Cartagena. From the moment you step into Celele, you're immersed in a world of sensory delights. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff is attentive and knowledgeable. But it's the food that truly steals the show. Each dish is a work of art, combining traditional Colombian ingredients with innovative techniques. I highly recommend the tasting menu, which allows you to experience a variety of flavors and textures. Each course is a surprise, a delightful explosion of taste that lingers on your palate. If you're a foodie, you won't be disappointed. Celele is not just a restaurant; it's an experience. If you want to experience a moment on every bite just like how Ratatouille did when he 1st combined cheese and strawberry together and an explosion happened with his taste buds. This is the place to have that type of experience.

You can see why this place seems to be constantly in the top 50 restaurants worldwide, it is really good. The highlights from what we ordered were the flower salad entree, the prawn main and the mille-feuille dessert. Although, all meals were great. The wine list is also interesting and quite substantial. Plus the location in Getsemani and the service both could not be better.

Let me just start by telling you all, this is not a restaurant this is a whole experience in itself. I never write reviews for anything but my mind was blown by this place. The mixture of all the flavors in all the dishes was amazing. I don’t even know what they menu has the server suggested a surprise and the new menu and we agreed. We were not disappointed. I would highly recommend this place we want to come back to Cartagena just to come back and eat here at Celele. Alex and Elkin were so sweet and amazing. They explained what each dish had and the story behind it. I recommend 10/10. Just come you won’t be disappointed!

Words can’t explain how much I enjoyed my dinner at Celele. Every single dish was a unique experience and an explosion of my taste buds. 🤯🤤 Come here if you’re looking for something different. Don’t come here if you’re looking for a traditional Colombian restaurant. I don’t even think it matters what you order. It’s hard to be disappointed here! The service was also fantastic. Big shout out to Juan David and Alex for making our dinner extra special. ❤️ They take the time to explain everything single dish to you. And it’s absolutely worth listening. I almost cried when I took a bite out of the crunchy banana peal desert. 🍌😭 I would come here 1000 times! We paid 83$ for a 2-person dinner. This included 3 starters, 1 main, 1 desert and 2 juices. Fair prices for what you get! PS. This restaurant is in the top 50 restaurants of Latin America. Not in the world, like 1 person mistakenly said below.

Amazing very high standing food. Generous portions (a bit too much for us 😅). The service is good but in general they're missing a bit of attention on details. But a very nice experience. Also really really good cocktails. Vegan friendly 😁

One in a lifetime dinning experience. They nail the Caribbean and Colombian flavors and make it something even more special. I usually find the 50 best list to be mostly political and not a great reflection of what a great dinning experience should be. Not the case here. Celele is simply perfection. The somked trout tiradito blew my mind and the Celele pork and beans is a must try. I also enjoyed a lot the lobster but I wish I had tried something else as I feel like there was much going on there. The drinks are fantastic and I had no space for dessert but I can’t wait to come back to try them all! Service is also great and reservation is needed .

I really don’t understand the hype. Our crab dish was way too salty, the flower salad was bland, the lobster actually had good flavors but was way over done to the point of being tough, the beef tongue tasted like groceries store ham with leaves on it. Unsure why this is one of the best restaurants in LA. The lemonade and service were great and everything was undeniably beautiful. But in case you’re expecting the best food of your life - we had better street tacos.

We stumbled across this restaurant and could not have been happier. It is one of our favorite restaurants of all time. We absolutely loved the crab and the pomelo dessert. Only to recommend!
