👍 Great food & service. We got the margarita pizza, shishito peppers, meat ball , shrimp dumplings & plenty of drinks. The margarita pizza & shishito peppers were perfect. The shrimp dumplings were very different. It reminded me of a ravioli. Overall great experience. People often mention good, pizza, service, nice, tapas, Great, great, delicious, super, drinks,

    Cool spot right off the main plaza in Getsemani. Really cool vibe with delicious tapas, possibly the best tuna tartare I’ve ever had in my life. The drinks are great too! We were able to walk in without a reservation. Highly recommend to those visiting the neighborhood.

    We ended up here thanks to a recommendation and why not a new place is an experimentation. I would have to say the night had a bit of frustration, well the food wasn’t why I expected didn’t meet my expectation. Don’t get me wrong, please, you have a variety of dishes from seafood to pizza with loads of cheese. Staff is wonderful and actually quite fun, just make sure to ask a few times for a table even if they say they have none. If you fancy a beer on tap, well make sure to find this place on the map. The music is extremely loud, not a place for a nap, and the price is fairly reasonable not a tourist trap.

    All food was amazing!! Servers are super nice and welcoming, music is nice and the food is super good and affordable prices. If you go be sure to try the Tuna Tartar, Pizza (margarita & the pepperoni) and their desserts are also super good!! give it a 100%. (btw I'm from the U.S) English Review

    Nice location with amazing food! The tapas come in small portions and taste delicious. The pizzas are not too big and also good for sharing.

    Overrated! The pizza was alright and tasty but I was frustrated that despite asking for my pizza with no cheese on (I'm lactose intolerant, and this is never an issue for any other pizza place), they insisted they have a no changes to the menu policy. As I explained that I really couldn't eat cheese, the waitress said she'd see what they could do... And my pizza appeared with cheese on half 🙄 She said she hoped that was ok. I just ended up pulling off the huge amount of cheese on the other half. Seemed a bit ridiculous to me! Definitely a no go for vegans or people with dietary requirements.

    Did not get a chance to eat here due to completely wrong Google information. I had planned my whole sightseeing day around having tapas lunch here. On Google it said they opened at 1pm. At 1.30pm I could not find the entrance of where it was supposed to be indicated on Google maps and I thinking walked into someone’s living room. After asking around I was told the restaurant is somewhere else. When I got there they said they will open at 2pm and they would only start serving tapas at 5pm. So, I left angrily! All this can be fixed by just updating the Google information!

    We’ve had a fantastic San Silvestre at Demente with a group of 24 people. It was one big party with great service from the staff, Blanca was the best! Food and drinks were served fast, staff was efficient and super nice, atmosphere the best, also thanks to the great DJ. Overall the best evening in years! Thank you all

    Enjoyed this place for a few drinks and even had a pizza there one night. The Cuba Libres are fantastic. Not for anybody who’s on a budget type trip can be a little expensive.

    (Translated by Google) Very good experience with dementia, good beers and good pizza. The location and decor are also very pleasant. The only downside is the not-so-good desserts and the slightly high price of drinks. (Original) Très bonne expérience chez démente, bonnes bières et bonnes pizza. L'emplacement et la déco sont également très agréables. Seul petit bémol les desserts pas au top et le prix légèrement élevé des boissons.

  • 5/5 Jean-Michel “Jmo” J. 5 years ago on Google
    ! Que rico! Delicious good; fast service; good beer and drinks selection. We got there early and the service was fast and friendly and remained so even as the place became packed. Food portions were small but more than compensated with quality. Tuna tartare was tasty, and the "French Onion Soup" pizza hit all the right notes, as they say. The grilled green peppers were good, but not great. I wished they had been smokier and more burnt, as well as saltier and more picante. The mango margarita's mango flavour was subtile, so to speak. It seemed like I could only taste it through the powers of suggestion. Finally grilled octopus was fantastic. Expertly grilled texture, which is easier said than done.

    Wow! Demente is such a cool spot. Great food and delicious cocktails! It’s perfect for a meal after sight seeing and looking at art in Getsemaní. I can’t stop thinking about the pork belly watermelon dish.

    We stumbled into this place last night without any expectation, except that we wanted a beer. And we got so much more! We sat at the bar although the outside is super cool. So don’t miss the back area. The bartender and all of the staff were so nice, friendly, chatty, and fun. The bartender let us give suggestions for music and we traded songs, sharing musical tastes and laughs without sharing the same language. It really was a magical evening! I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in Cartagena!

  • 5/5 JOSE DAVID C. 7 months ago on Google
    Excellent pizza restaurant in the center of Getsemaní. A great decoration that plays magnificent with the light of the rooms and the decorations of the bottles of rum, tequila, aguardiente, whiskey and others. In the inside room you have an open roof saloon where you can see how they do your pizza and who it comes fast from the artisanal oven to your table. Recommended 100% the tamarindo cocktail with mezcal and the lulo cocktail with mezcal. Excellent options. To eat the spinach pizza was my favorite.

  • 5/5 まみりーん改善 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) There was no doubt that I ate any of the pizzas here. Especially the crust was crispy and the pizza I had eaten so far was by far the best. The cospa is good and it is my favorite restaurant that I visited many times during my stay. It is a comfortable place where the interior is fashionable and the toilets are well managed. (Original) ここのピザはどれを食べても間違いなかったです。特にクラストがカリカリで今までで食べたピザではダントツでした。コスパも良く、滞在中何度も通ったお気に入りのレストランです。インテリアもオシャレでトイレも綺麗に管理されている心地よい場所です。

    (Translated by Google) Flight !! I've lived in Colombia for 2 years, I had never seen that before. Ok the quality is correct, but for the price it is not worth it. The place is nice, good atmosphere but nothing luxurious, good quality but ridiculous quantity for the prices charged: these are tapas but at the price of a normal dish. The waiter (very nice) confirmed to us that this place was for “tourists” .... 2 cocktails + 2 tapas = 123,000 this served as an aperitif and then went to dinner elsewhere. The cocktail was good and worth the price. So just for a cocktail, the place can be good. (Original) Du vol !! Ça fait 2 ans que je vis en Colombie, je n’avais jamais encore vu ça. Ok la qualité est correcte, mais pour le prix pratiqué cela ne le vaut pas. Le lieu est sympa, bonne ambiance mais rien de luxueux, qualité bonne mais quantité ridicule pour les tarifs pratiqués: ce sont des tapas mais au prix d’un plat normal. Le serveur (très sympa) nous a confirmé que ce lieu était pour les “touristes”.... 2 cocktail+ 2 tapas = 123,000 ceci a fait office d’apéritif pour ensuite aller dîner ailleurs. Le cocktail était bon et valait son prix. Donc juste pour un cocktail, l’endroit peut être bien.

    One of my favorite meals in Cartagena so far. We tried several plates and they were all delicious (pork buns are a must). Loved the location where you can people watch in La Plaza Trinidad. Lovely staff, very professional but fun. I would definitely come again.

  • 5/5 Max S. 3 years ago on Google
    Big fan of Demente's outdoor patio and their pizzas are quite good. They've also got good cocktails and even better micheladas. It's always cracking, especially late at night. Head out to the little square after and get a hot dog.

    (Translated by Google) Demented, my favorite bar for its food and attention. Demented is a tapas bar, with an excellent selection of music and a pleasant outdoor atmosphere. My favorite dishes are "It's not Galician octopus", "Roast of strip", "Bum of ribs" and "Hamburger Demente" in the pizzas, although they have reduced the size, my favorite is the "Cheese with Mushrooms", But all dishes are rich and recommended. The attention is nice and familiar, the staff is united and with a good attitude all the time. (Original) Demente, mi bar favorito por su comida y su atención.

    (Translated by Google) What a good place. No opinions are generated from outside. There is only one sign in stencil on the stone, the entrance and now. Until you enter you realize that no idea of ​​such a big and beautiful place. Besides that the service, the food, EVERYTHING is amazing. We celebrated a birthday there, booked and agreed from Mexico and received more than expected. Our birthday boy was very happy and so were we. (Original) Que Buen lugar. No se generen opiniones desde afuera. Solo hay un letrero en esténcil sobre la piedra, la entrada y ya. Hasta que uno entra se da cuenta que ni idea de un lugar tan grande y tan bonito. Además de eso el servicio, la comida, TODO esta increíble. Festejamos un cumpleaños ahí, reservamos y nos pusimos de acuerdo desde México y recibimos mas de lo esperado. Nuestro cumpleañero estuvo muy contento y nosotros también.
