Restaurante El Gobernador

The 35 Best Restaurants in Cartagena, Colombia | Eater

"Located on the first floor of Bastión Luxury Hotel, El Gobernador offers a menu designed by award-winning Bogotano chef Jorge Rausch. The chef applies haute French techniques to local ingredients, producing dishes including the risotto-like arroz cremoso with coconut milk, achiote (annatto), and cilantro, sea bass with Gruyere crust, fondue, and “leeks cappuccino.” Don’t skip dessert, when you might find pistachio dacquoise with compote of corozo and cotton candy. The space is divided into a main salon and a quiet mezzanine for more private diners, and there’s an outdoor patio where guests can enjoy lunch. [$$ - $$$$]" - Juliana Duque
