Restaurante Donjuán

We hosted our rehearsal dinner here, and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we began planning, the team made everything seamless and stress-free. They graciously allowed us to arrive early to set up personalized menus and welcome bags for our guests—a small gesture that meant a lot to us. Throughout the evening, the service was impeccable. The person overseeing the servers kept me updated on drink orders and flow, which gave me peace of mind and let me focus on enjoying the night. Towards the end of the dinner, Chef Juan came out to greet our guests—a thoughtful touch that made everyone feel special and added a personal warmth to the experience. The food was beyond delicious. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and the apple tart was a clear favorite—our guests are still talking about it. The restaurant itself is stunning, easily one of the most beautiful in Cartagena, with decor that feels both sophisticated and inviting. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off our wedding weekend. Thank you to the entire team for making this night so memorable.

The Food is absolutely incredible, everything was amazing and worth going. By far the best restaurant in Cartagena. Really really good. - Ceviche is amazing! - Langostinos also so good!! - The Pulpo as an entree was amazing! Must say that the service was slow and they forgot about us a couple of times. But overall decent. Atmosphere is really nice, they took the time to create a very unique restaurant and the attention to detail is noticeable.

Overall I would say it was a fairly nice meal but it lacked the quality you would expect of somewhere presentable like this. I asked the waiter for recommendations and this is what I ordered based off this: - Ceviche: it was ok but felt a little heavy and too much raw fish to be able to finish by myself. - Beef Wellington: wasn’t easy to cut, meat was undercooked so had to send it back for cooking further, crush was soggy. The little gem lettuce on the side though was exceptional. - Grilled asparagus: was nice. Staff were very attentive and the restaurant looked lovely, but I don’t think I would recommend it.

We came here for dinner on a recommendation but we weren't too impressed with the food. Between the three of us, for the starters we shared the octopus (the flavour was good but the octopus was a bit chewy), the lobster salad (lobster was dry and really small quantity for price point), eggplant (miso flavour was great) and for the mains, we shared the pesto fettuccine with salmon (sauce was very oily but salmon well cooked) and the shrimp and fish curry (completely underseasoned and lacked spices/flavour, it was almost inedible for me). The atmosphere was relaxed and staff were friendly, so that somewhat made up made up for the food.

Recommended by a Colombian friend. It’s a beautiful restaurant, spacious but intimate. A perfect place for a date night. Everything is unbelievable delicious and very reasonably priced for a quality dinner (by UK standards) I particularly liked the tuna/fresh fish entree. Definitely recommend if you want some good food ;)
