We have been here now several times and we are every time surprised by the good food and new dishes. real hard working staff and do everything to satisfy. It is the best and most fresh food from Cartagena.

Literally the best place to stop for lunch or a drink. The best service and food we've had in Spain. Love this place! We highly recommend it!

We can across this place per chance and what a find. It is in the main pedestrian walkway and was outstanding. We both had the Terra breakfast which is two poached eggs on toast, salmon over with a florentine sauce and avocado. Delicious! The waitress was amazing and the owner was very engaging. We will be back!

This is a hidden gem, located centrally on the Main Street in old town Cartagena. They have an international tapas menu, offering different options than a lot of the other restaurants. We’ve never had a meal we haven’t enjoyed! The satay de pollo is one of our favourites! The staff are amazing and the prices are very reasonable. We highly recommend!

Can't understand why it's not full. The best all day restaurant in Cartagena. Mix the tapas, starters with sides. Excellent. Just be careful, they give you bread whether you ask for it or not. And charge! My only let down.

We stopped here for some drinks! Atmosphere was fantastic and staff very friendly! Shandy was fantastic, friends really enjoyed their sangria! Wifee enjoyed her Mango smoothie. We did not order food but people around us had nothing but good comments! Will definitely visit again when we return!
