How to Do Cartagena, Colombia, According to Fashion Designer Johanna Ortiz | Condé Nast Traveler

"The Cuban restaurant La Vitrola is an institution in Cartagena. There's always the most vibrant crowd and a band playing son cubano music. My go-to order is the yellowfin tuna and panko-breaded prawns accompanied by a mojito."

Great ambiance and music, however I ordered the Jerk Chicken and it was literally RAW and PINK inside. 😳 I had them cook it some more and it was better… the other food was amazing though! Seemed to be overstaffed a bit too but overall great experience

Delicious and delightful vibe. I’ve been going here for years and it’s always on point. The staff is welcoming and accommodating. Definitely have the caramanolas or guava cheese to start. All the fish is fresh, be sure to ask for the coconut rice as your side. And for dessert, the coconut pie is everything!

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!

Great meal and great service. Particularly loved the coconut pie (like everyone) and plantain and shrimp appetizer. Also appreciate the somm steering me toward a Chilean Chardonnay. Would never have gone there on my own and complemented the meal perfectly.

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.

10 out of 10 experience. There’s is a dress code ( no shorts for men), but we still had a great time. There was live music that added to ambience of the restaurant. The staff was super nice and the food was amazing. From the bread basket to dessert, everything was delicious. Be sure to try the pumpkin ravioli and the guava cheesecake.

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.

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!
