The 35 Best Restaurants in Cartagena, Colombia | Eater
"Open just over a year, Celele is one of the most successful restaurants in town, earning the Miele One to Watch Award for 2019 on the Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants list. Star chefs Jaime Rodríguez and Sebastián Pinzón researched the area for four years before opening their restaurant, using the business as an opportunity to showcase handicrafts from local indigenous and rural communities. They serve a contemporary tasting menu and daily a la carte options, including traditional stew with slices of cured duck, pineapple vinegar, sweet ají peppers, and sour oranges over casabe. For dessert, try the traditional mingui, a puree of cooked plantain and pumpkin served with whipped coconut cream, granola made with local seeds and nuts, and coconut lemonade sorbet.
