AniMare Restaurante - Bar

Casa Pestagua Cartagena Hotel Review | Hotels Above Par

"Situated in the hotel’s central courtyard beneath the signature colonial arches, Animare is a hotspot where a good-looking crowd—polished locals and returning visitors—come to savor Chef Heberto Eljach’s creative, internationally honed take on traditional Colombian dishes. His bright, fresh, flavorful cuisine favors the freshest seafood, tropical fruits, and lively spices: think lobster ceviche with tiger’s milk and tamarind sorbet, a warm mixed seafood ceviche with a sweet corn cake, and a tenderloin finished with truffled salt. I thoroughly enjoyed everything I tried, and before or after dinner a cocktail—zero-proof or with booze—at the Animare bar is a rite of passage where you can mingle, take in your day, and feel tucked away in one of the world’s most photogenic destinations." - Shivani Vora
