👍 Delicious food! Everything was soooooooo tasty and fresh! Ceviche was wonderful, lamb was very good, but the octopus was the best! Definitely try it especially if you love seafood. Chicken with Indian spices was nice as well and it was enough for 2 people :) The restaurant is not very big but very c...

    Our best meal in Cartegena. Truly next level sophisticated flavors and focus on innovative cuisine. The menu is contained and yet still varried. We had a cerviche which was the brightest and most exciting flavor of all the Ceviche we had in Cartegena. We also had a ravioli which was similar to a carbonara and simply amazing!!! The roasted corn appetizer is A MUST!!! Highly recommend for a lovely dinner in Gestimani.

    Lovely little restaurant in a cute setting- adorable side street with very little traffic and lots of beautiful flowers blooming. We sat outside for drinks and decided to stay for dinner. The food was really good. I wasn’t blown away, but it’s tasty and fairly priced. The service was attentive and friendly. A really nice place to for a relaxed meal just outside the city centre.

    Delicious food! Everything was soooooooo tasty and fresh! Ceviche was wonderful, lamb was very good, but the octopus was the best! Definitely try it especially if you love seafood. Chicken with Indian spices was nice as well and it was enough for 2 people :) The restaurant is not very big but very cozy and very well decorated. We were seated on the second floor, which was cool, because we were close to the band. Awesome live music! It was a great experience. I highly recommend:) Cheers :)

    We had a wonderful evening. It’s a really lovely place with really good food, good service and goods wine! We chose a place outside for dinner and it was a really nice atmosphere. Would definitely come back and recommend this place (especially the pulpo). It isn’t a cheap place but worth it!

    The steak here (steak pimienta) was the best steak I have ever had in my life!! The delicious drinks were served in fun presentations. You must visit this place if you are in Cartagena!

    What a fabulous little restaurant. Every dish we ordered was a hit (crab tacos, seared octopus, lobster roll, ceviche) but the standout was the duck confit with crunchy rice. If you’ve ever had a good paella you’ll know the best but is often the caramelised rice sticking to the bottom of the pan - that’s exactly what they’ve done here - wow! A little over seasoned but that’s one minor quibble. Prices also reasonable for the quality of the food. Put it on your list!

    A charming restaurant on a quiet Gestemani street with an atmospheric patio. The food was as good as we had in well reviewed places in the Old City but in a low key, local setting.

    (Translated by Google) The meat I ordered was pretty good but the garrison was very small, and the price of the games, water and spirits exorbitantly expensive.

    Everything we ordered was delicious that I’m compelled to leave a review. We came here because we couldn’t get a reservation at other more popular restaurants. Seems like Arrabal is seriously underrated. We had the pulpo a la brasa, filete de pescado en salsa de cangreja, steak pimienta sobre pure de yucca, and a Chilean Malbec.

    Very cute restaurant in a street with alot of paintings and art galleries. The food was very cheap for how good it was. The pork belly was astounding. Service was really good, like the drinks. We really enjoyed ourselves. This should be much more popular as we ate better than at some expensive restaurants

  • 5/5 Michael J. 1 year ago on Google • 30 reviews
    This restaurant was wonderful! We loved the outdoor vibe, and they have the best octopus appetizer in town at a very fair price. The fish dish called pescado confitado and the cazuela de mariscos were also really good. We will definitely be back for more!

  • 5/5 Little Lola S. 5 years ago on Google • 19 reviews
    Yummy! Cute place on a sweet, uncrowded street. Colombian accented gastro pub with live music. Huge portions so sharing is recommended (by me). Feels hip and still local. Great cocktails. A real find!

    Good drinks, but the food could be improved substantially. Great atmosphere and spot.

    Food was amazing and staff very nice. Front door makes noise when it moves... sit as far away from the front door as possible.

    The staff made a big effort to speak English and that was very much appreciated. The wine list was very good and the food was excellent. A really good experience. Oh, and I really enjoyed the music playlist!

  • 5/5 omar l. 2 years ago on Google
    Great customer service. Food is good for the most part. The lobster ravioli and the peppered steak were not so great but the fish stew and salads are great. They have great lemonade and watermelon juice.

  • 5/5 Axel B. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent! Quiet lovely spot with fantastic food and cocktails. Its very exciting to find places like these when traveling. I would come back if I had more time.

  • 5/5 Ted C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great find! Stumbled onto while walking around. Small yet elegant. Our waiter was excellent, but the food was the star of the show. Ceviche, tuna tacos and fried rice for lunch. So far, the best food we’ve had in Cartagena. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Petia D. 1 year ago on Google
    Literally the best place in Cartagena! The ceviche and pulpo were amazingly tasty, but what won my heart was their authentic Arrabal Signature cocktail! Very nice staff and vibes! I will definitely return there

  • 5/5 Simon K. 1 year ago on Google
    My wife and I dined here twice during our short visit to Cartagena. Really great food and wine. I recommend the squid ink rice!

  • 4/5 Pavel P. 5 years ago on Google
    Very ambitious place with many unfinished touches. And yes, highly overpriced.

  • 5/5 Robert M. 1 year ago on Google
    Walk down a beautiful side street and you'll find this place. The pork belly was incredible. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 J A. 1 year ago on Google
    That Arrabal is 4.6 blows me away. Best meal I’ve had in Cartegena (and I've eaten at a multitude of “better”, more expensive restaurants here in town). The service matched the quality of food as well. If you’re in Cartagena, have dinner here (and thank me later 😉). Delightful meal for two (with cocktails and wine) for $52 USD (including add’l gratuity 🤯).

  • 2/5 Diego M. 3 years ago on Google
    Food and place great but I had two inconvenients. Waiter put the plate half off the table and when I tried to eat I felt down on me. He insisted on fixing half of the plate that didn’t felt on the floor and give it back to me. The second plate came fully cooked and I asked for medium rare. So I had to wait an extra hour to actually get my food while everybody at the table had already eaten.

    We happened upon this place after finishing up a catamaran sunset cruise, as it was only about an 8 minute walk from our drop off point. It ended up being our favorite restaurant of the trip! The ceviche was incredible, and they have some really fun cocktails-the eucalyptus drink was incredible! Everything we tried was fabulous. Highly recommend!

    (Translated by Google) The food is fine. The client service was fine but I don't like that the account was not good. They had given us a more expensive wine than we had wanted. No explanation but the bill was 60,000 more. Please avoid this restaurant. (Original) La comida está bien. El servicio de client era bien pero no me gusta que la cuenta no era bien.
