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.
