    A group of three couples had lunch here today. Two of us ordered the lobster, two ordered the grilled seasonal fish, one ordered the rabbit stew and one had eggplant with cheese. We shared a bottle of vino tinto. Everything was delicious! There was live music happening in the restaurant - even for lunch. The portions were generous and the food was perfectly cooked and presented!

    Friendly staff, good food and great entertainment. It is a bit pricier than some other restaurant but if you consider the entertainment that you get for the price, it is a good deal. Make reservation online. Also for dinner no flip flops/sandals allowed for the guys since it is semi-formal. They do have shoes that you can borrow if you forget

    Gorgeous space, great food. Live music was perfect and not intrusive. Excellent cocktails. Ceviche was perfect. Pargo rojo was really good. Fish in coconut and rum was great. Arepitas were solid.

    The restaurant is beautiful. There is live music which is very nice and service is wonderfull! Since they open the door, you feel welcome. The thing is that i, being from Barranquilla, think this place could be wonderfull for tourist that would like to try typical food in a beautiful ambience but for locals, just going for the food is not worth it. It’s more expensive than another place of local food that won’t have the same experience. I sincerely would come back for drinks and the live music. Food is ok, it’s good but I think you can get the same plates in another place cheaper and tastier.

    Wonderful restaurant that's really more of an experience complete with live entertainment. We had the tasting menu for two, which turned out to be an excellent choice. The food was all delicious, and seemed to be mostly local dishes. The service was friendly and prompt. Prices are pretty reasonable as a tourist. Probably my favorite part was the cozy and immersive atmosphere full of plants and lights and all sorts of decorations that made it feel like a magical hideaway. Highly recommend for anyone visiting looking for a taste of local culture.

    The ambiance is so relaxing, romantic and cozyThe staff was friendly and patient because I don't speak Spanish. The food was delicious with a robust of flavor. I had crab meat mixed with shrimp with peppers and cheese and black rice. I had the Baku drink. It was good not too strong. There was a live band and a songstress. We had seats upstairs. It is best to make a reservation to guarantee a seat. We almost didn't get in because it was crowded. We waited 10 minutes and they found us a table. I will return to choose another dish.

    The door staff are some of the most unfriendly we have ever met . Unsmiling, rude and to be honest we almost….almost didn’t bother so dismissive and unsmiling were they. Rope across door, a woman who had her smile surgically removed to be a frown. However we persevered, and at this point experience changed. We didn’t know there was a show. It was great. Food and waiting staff were fabulous. I would go so far as to say some of best food we have had on holiday. So in summary - please put your security guard and door staff on a customer welcoming course. Maybe as you are so busy it is a deliberate tactic to have rude front of house staff. The food is soooo good it is worth it….just!

    Great environment and beautiful place. Food was average. The lobster was good and meaty but the white sauce of the lobster was a bit too heavy and salty. Rabbit was flavorful but also a bit too salty. Drinks were well presented and flavors were good but nothing spectacular. I would eat here again but not something I would seek out for given the many options in the city.

    Celebrated my birthday at Candé. My guest and I enjoyed the service, food, drinks and entertainment. Dishes are filling and well seasoned. Seafood tasted fresh and the shrimps were huge. Every part of the restaurant was decorated with a mix of Bohemian, Spanish and Caribbean touch. Dined in on a Tuesday and the restaurant had a Friday or Saturday night vibe. There was a band that played and entertainers that danced through the restaurant. The bathroom had gold hardware and was unisex. The door handles had mustache or a lip and a friendly staff member attending it. The bill also comes in a cute red box with candies for the table.

    Nice set up with live music. Servers were attentive and nice even though I barely spoke the language. Food was tasty. I have an appetizer I ordered pictured. It's Pork and Yucca(sort of like potato texture). I ate some of the fish in the next pic before taking a photo so excuse me for that but it was also very good. Must visit while in Cartagena Colombia!

    This is definitely one of the most beautiful restaurant in Cartagena. The food was amazing very delicious, the staff were so nice and friendly. They are speaking English, which is very surprising in Cartagena, very fun night for having a good dinner and watching a live music and dance, very nice experience. we had so much Fun!

  • 5/5 Eric M. 2 years ago on Google
    Truly amazing experience. The food, service and entertainment was over the top. Dress code is enforced, no tank tops, no sandals and no caps. Menu is designed for 2 people but as a solo diner, had an excellent meal as well.

    Our experience here was amazing! We made a reservation the day before (HIGHLY recommend) and promptly got sat when we got there. The service was amazing, Juan David was our server and he was delightful and took great pictures of the whole family. The food was absolutely delicious and this was a whole experience rather than just a meal. I cannot recommend this place enough!

    I happened upon this top-rated restaurant walking one day and wanted to try it. I was nearby on a Friday night about 9:30 pm, so thought I'd give it a try. Fortunately, I could get in without a reservation because I was only one person. However, throughout the night it seemed they are not used to accommodating solo travelers with an excellent experience. The place and flow was chaotic. The staff was not observant. The food presentation was excellent and it tasted good. There are very limited wine options by the glass and only one type of red wine by the glass. I was seated in the bar area but directly in the flow of all the traffic in a rocking chair. Therefore, I requested to wait for a table. After about 45 minutes and checking twice, I was offered a table, but it was not acceptable so I opted to go back to the bar. Well, I decided it best to leave when the waiter offered another option. At this point, the crowd was winding down and there were many options of 2-person tables open throughout the restaurant that I noticed did not get filled until we closed down the restaurant at midnight! I had eventually joined a group table of friendly travelers and a Colombian. They shared the same opinion of chaos yet good I got in without a reservation because they had been turned away the other day. The entertainment was nice and a mix of music. Note also there is a dress code.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. The Lobster Bisque was just amazing with a lobster in the middle of the soup. All the meals were exceptionally good. The decor is amazing. There's lots of entertainment.. a band playing.. local dancers.. I mean it's definitely a must see... And eat :)

    A restaurant that should become, if it’s not already the case, a restaurant where all the people coming to Cartagena must pass by. The atmosphere is calm, with some live music/singer playing traditional Colombian song while you eat. The food is amazing you will experienced real Colombian coast cuisine. The cocktails are fresh made with fruits you can only find there. The service is really delicate, you feel they want you to spend a great time. It’s Ok to go without booking for lunch, better book for dinner

  • 4/5 Yahaira A. 9 months ago on Google
    This restaurant is very desirable; however I recommend making a reservation if you want to eat here. This is my second time coming here and I really like the place but the service is not the best as some of the waiters are not friendly and they are not very accommodating. With that being said, I did enjoy the food the two times that I went. One of the plates that I ordered was not of my liking and I was offered a different dish which was really delicious.The drinks were really great. The dinner costed about $70 for 2 appetizers, one entree and 2 cocktails and a soda. The Atmosphere was really nice and there was a live band playing. Dancers also performed while we were there.

    Delicious food, extremely attentive service. We had a fish special each which were both huge! All aspects of the dish were masterfully cooked and presented. The decor of the restaurant is cute, I had no choice but to believe it to be an authentic cartagenian experience.

    Great atmosphere with live music. The interior design is beautiful. The service was ok, it could have been faster since the restaurant was not busy. The food was great. Posta Cartagenera was tender and juicy. The seafood risotto a little undercooked but overall a good dish. The drink in the blue shell was fun to have. want to come back and try their Lobster plate, I saw it around and it looks very appetizing.

    Great place to enjoy a live show. Food is authentic from the area. Make sure to make reservations of a large group or going late. Very beautiful place to enjoy a nice lunch or dinner in the city. Be patient Service at times can be slow after initial order. However, the place is a great Ambience. Most servers speak Spanish. However, the menu is also in English with everything that is in the restaurant including drinks

    Wonderful experience!! From the live band, the birthday acknowledgement, fast service, management and customer service, and how could I forget to mention the GREAT food? If you’re looking for a good experience please take a visit to Candé.

  • 5/5 Terry P. 2 years ago on Google
    Exceptional food, delicious drinks, very attentive servers (ours was Wendy), all wrapped in an atmosphere of class. They had live music which was a delightful touch to an exceptional dining experience. A great choice in Cartagena.

  • 5/5 Isaac J. 2 years ago on Google
    The best Caribbean cuisine in the region like by a lot!! The service, the deco, the gastronomy, variety, fair prices, should I go on… Just make sure you have a reservation and for some animation the center tables are the best.

  • 5/5 Tobias H. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible experience in Cartagena! Very authentic and well balanced Caribbean cuisine in a high-end restaurant with the best service I’ve had so far in Colombia! The dishes are all recommendable, great presentation and beautiful interior on top. The coconut rice is so incredibly good, I cannot put it in words. Definitely come here when in Cartagena, two important things to note: Dress appropriately (no tank tops/beachwear) and get a reservation. It is almost always full!

  • 5/5 Estelle P. 2 years ago on Google
    A real gem!… we loved everything so much about Candé during our romantic gateway in Cartagena, we ate twice at this wonderful place… from the decor, the music, the excellent food to the great service - Viviana was so kind & hospitable to us! Strongly recommended!

  • 5/5 Mario A. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent restaurant, the food is super delicious, the attention is excellent, the staff is very friendly and knows the entire menu perfectly. The fried snapper was excellent and the entree of three ceviches was wonderful. Mr. Carlos who is at the entrance convinced us to go in and have lunch and it was really worth it.

  • 5/5 Gabriel G. 2 years ago on Google
    This was our 5th time to this restaurant on separate trips to Cartagena. Each and everytime, the food and service were outstanding. Three employees, Juaniz, Edwin, and Juan David were exemplary, as they were attentive, courteous and professional. Companies should strive to recruit such employees that represent their brand well. At the end of the day, they, the service they provide, and the product are what attract and retain the clientele. We have tasted several dishes from their menu, all of which tasted fantastic! My favorite is the crab rice. Compliments to the Chef! Kudos! Kathy and Gabe from NY

  • 2/5 martha 1 year ago on Google
    Decided to visit after being recommended. The food is great, however the subpar cleanliness left me speechless and disgusted! Flies shouldn't be part of the menu, just saying. If it was like this in the front, I can't even imagine what it looks like in the kitchen. Couldn't enjoy much of the food with all the "uninvited" guests.

  • 5/5 Dayana C. 1 year ago on Google
    It's probably the best restaurant in Cartagena! We found it through a guide who recommended it. Went on a Thursday night and it was full but we made it and came back with two other friends for lunch two days in a row after that. Employees really know what they are doing, ambiance is amazing, the patio is lovely and the food is Superb. Keep it up guys and don't miss it if you're every visiting here.

  • 5/5 Michael E. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing place. It’s fancy but cosy, a band came up on stage and played local music. The food was delicious! High quality seafood and fish. The desserts are not so good, but besides that - VERY recommended.

  • 5/5 David A. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic restaurant, the ambiance plus the quality of the food makes an amazing match. We shared entrees, highly recommended. Then the main courses were outstanding. We were not able to have desserts as the plates we had were very big. The only thing that would make the experience A++ is a bit of work on the cocktails.

  • 5/5 Heidytorr C. 1 year ago on Google
    I thought I was not going to have a chance to visit this amazing place and I am so glad I was able to! I persuaded another solo traveler to join me and we were not only impressed but so glad we made it. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. They have live music and entertainment! It’s a must when in Cartagena!!

  • 5/5 Lin J. 11 months ago on Google
    We had a great experience at Cande. Food and services are excellent. There were live performances with dance and music. We ordered a seafood appetizer for two, grilled fish with dark coconut rice, and stewed beef with white coconut rice. A great night to end our visit to Colombia. The restaurant is packed so make your online reservation in advance.

  • 4/5 Gabriela C. 8 months ago on Google
    The atmosphere is the star!! Charming restaurant! The dance presentation and live band add a special touch to the experience. The menu is interesting, lobster bisque and cocktails were great! Not 5 stars on details. We really enjoyed our food (one of my shrimp wasn’t totally cleaned). The service is a mix because servers are very friendly but could be more proactive for the price you pay there. i.e I found myself finger up to order a drink refil; our table was blocked by a column (couldn’t see the stage), we asked if we could move to an empty table besides us, they said sorry that one was reserved (which is fine) and period. We had to ask again if we could be moved to any of the other empty tables, then a yes. I would recommend the experience for sure and we’d go back!

  • 2/5 Tom K. 7 months ago on Google
    In a word “Overrated”. Had to wait down stairs in a packend reception area without A/C and only tiny ventilators - don’t take names for waiting list, but recall faces. We were seated upstairs- nice old building but too hot to be comfortable. No AC either. Starter “picada caribe” a ceviche with rather simple fish, oldish lemon taste - nothing compared to Peru, some carb legs, shellfish with heavy sauce, shrimp cocktail - all very average nothing special. Main dish a pork guisado - half of pork was fat, sauce fatty but tasted ok but only one (!) small carrot slice. Nothing as promised. Wife had a fish in banana leaf. Also rather simple presentation and no special taste - seems they didn’t even cook it in the leaf as the leaf was as new. Cheapest Chilean Sauvignon Blanc as only open bottle. Overall I would not go there again, overrated and probably hyped by the “criollo” theme. A band played 3 songs, a pair of dancers danced 2 minutes.

  • 5/5 Lokadita B. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place to try local food, nice ambiance , although not cheap compare to others. Everything we order is good including the drink. The grill seafood is fresh , the coconut seafood with rice is tasty and the beef is juice and tender.

  • 5/5 D P (. 8 months ago on Google
    This restaurant was recommended by my travel service. They offer a tasting menu, but as a solo patron, I was unable to participate. With that being said, overall, it was a great experience. The ambiance was very energetic, and there was entertainment. I had the trio of ceviche, and it was excellent. This included shrimp ceviche, fish ceviche, and seafood ceviche (calamari, shrimp). For entree "Encocado de Carne de Jaiba y Camarones." Which was crab and shrimp au gratin. It was delicious, and the black coconut rice was succulent. Cocktail: Kalamatiki Very smooth and refreshing.

  • 4/5 Miss Everything E. 5 months ago on Google
    Solo diners may not experience the special dining courses or sit at a normal table because they do not offer reservations and did not allow me the option to wait for a table. Dined at bar. Food was delicious. Ambiance was absolutely amazing. Performers that sing along to music playing. The staff was a bit unprofessional at times regarding patrons, assuming I did not know Spanish.

  • 5/5 Kylle Elizabeth S. 5 months ago on Google
    So, we ended up coming to this place serendipitously. We got there and were treated amazingly well. I ordered the goat cheese appetizer, octopus for the main, and phenomenal watermelon/basil/vodka cocktails. I cannot wait to go back!

  • 5/5 Laura F. 5 months ago on Google
    Clearly a popular spot, I’m glad we’d made reservations! The decor was beautiful and it was nice to have live music (starting at 7.30pm). I found the vegetarian ceviche and plantain-steamed rice delicious! Both were new to me and I’m now inspired to try and make them at home.

  • 5/5 Gabriela G. 4 months ago on Google

    This was a visually appealing restaurant when you walked in. Here is what I liked and didn't. Liked 1. The food was delicious 😋 2. If you decide to box your leftovers, they do that for you but they actually put a fresh meal instead of your leftovers 3. The people who work there run a tight shift, we got most of our orders in a timely manner Don't like 1. The restaurant has a colonial vibe where the servers are dress like slaves and they are 98% black women of a lighter complex. That gave me a weird feeling 2. The entertainers worked very hard to entertain but the costume were old, torn, shoes falling apart just did look good 3. We were there for my child's 13th birthday, there was no special thing they could do like sing a song etc nothing 4. I would say it is a not child friendly. Waiters seemed impatient and annoyed while serving the kids 6. The restaurant has dividing walls so based on where you are seating you can't see what is happening on stage but you can hear the other guests cheering and having a good time.

    (Translated by Google) A beautiful restaurant located in the walled city. With impeccable decoration and attention. The chef had the detail of going out to talk since we made a criticism about a dish which I thought was a very positive detail. Unfortunately I cannot give it more scores since the dishes did not surprise me at all, I did not feel that any of them impressed me or special flavors and above all unbalanced despite the fact that we only ordered suggestions, and to finish justifying my score for the prices paid I should receive a much higher gastronomic quality. (Original) Un hermoso restaurant ubicado en la ciudad amurallada. Con una decoración y atención impecable. El chef tubo el detalle de salir a conversar ya que hicimos una critica sobre un plato lo que me pareció un detalle muy positivo. Lamentablemente no puedo ponerle mas puntuación ya que los platos no me sorprendieron en absoluto, no sentí que ninguno me impactara o sabores especiales y sobre todo poco balanceados a pesar de que ordenamos solo sugerencias, y para terminar de justificar mi puntuacion por los precios pagados debería recibir una calidad gastronómica mucho mas elevada.

    (Translated by Google) Very close to La Serrezuela Shopping Center, this restaurant has a very pleasant space, a bit saturated in its decoration mixing various styles. It has a nice garden. I feel that it is a bit dark place and this creates contradiction with the bright sun that is felt in the Caribbean. Many black color in the spaces. The food is very good, quick attention, kindness, the dishes are not delayed and it arrives at the right temperature. The portions are generous. I recommend the desserts, they are great. The prices seem a bit high to me but it is acceptable for a special occasion. (Original) Muy cerca del Centro Comercial La Serrezuela, este restaurante tiene un espacio muy agradable, un poco saturado en su decoración mezclando varios estilos. Tiene un jardín bonito. Siento que es un lugar un poco oscuro y esto genera contradicción con el sol brillante que se siente en el Caribe. Muchos color negro en los espacios. La comida es muy buena, atención rápida, amabilidad, los platos no se demoran y llega con la temperatura adecuada. Las porciones son generosas. Recomiendo los postres, son de gran factura. Los precios me parecen un poco elevados pero es aceptable para una ocasión especial.

    WOW WOW WOW!! BEST restaurant in Cartagena! I went there beginning of January 2021 while I was travelling in Colombia, so please believe me I visited A LOT of restaurant in Cartagena but nothing like this one! I had the best ceviche, the best warm dish and the best dessert when I was travelling in Cartagena! The place is also sooo beautiful, there is a live band and the service is amazing! I had the best time and I wish I could go back anytime soon!

    The food is ok to good. Came out hot, had the grilled chicken, cooked a little longer than necessary, did not retain much juiciness. On the border of being dry. Also had the arepas, very good here. The sauces from very spicy to mild were good. Asked my leftovers to be packed to go, took a very long time. Overall the very young service staff tries too hard to be fine dining, they put too much show and not enough substance into the service. A little too pretentious for a tourist destination restaurant.

    Summary - call to make a reservation (online), every dish is amazing, very clean, seafood! Originally this was not on my radar for places to eat but after meeting multiple locals it became a place I couldn't miss. We made our reservation for 9pm, however, I recommend 7:30 or 8 as the atmosphere is a little more alive, but if you want more quite than 9 is the time. This is a place for couples, small parties or even larger 10 plus parties, but again make that reservation. One big perk was being able to make a reservation through Google maps rather than calling. You will not be disappointed in the choice of food as they have a variety but I do recommend sticking to a sea food dish. Check out their menu and you will see that the prices are very reasonable for the high quality, roughly 58-68,000 for a main. Drinks where on the spendy side but again the quality is well worth getting a higher end cocktail. Don't hesitate, if you need a romantic night with your partner or taking friends out for a classy dinner, this is your place. I was also impressed when they presented a white Rose to all the women for national women's day.

    To be honest, I was surprised for the excellent food and service provided at Candé. I could easily guess this is one of the best restaurants (if not the best) to serve authentic Cartagenian cuisine. I suggest the "Posta Cartagenera" &"Cazuela de Mariscos", both excellent representations of our cuisine and great choices for a full meal. Add up the great chic environment and service from the waiters and you are in for a treat!

    Have been in Cartagena for 2 weeks now and have tried virtually all the restaurants in the Walled City. This was by far the best experience: from the service, ambiance, cocktails, and especially the food. The crab dishes are unreal, and would HIGHLY recommend the crab soup and crab rice.

    (Translated by Google) The food is very good (the Cartagenera post, not to mention), the interior and terrace atmosphere together with the live music are perfect for an evening. Four stars then? Because excess service is sometimes not good service either, when it is overwhelming (Original) La comida es buenísima (la posta Cartagenera ni hablar), el ambiente interior y de la terraza junto con la música en vivo son perfectos para una velada . Cuatro estrellas entonces ? Porque el exceso de servicio algunas veces tampoco es buen servicio , cuando es agobiante
