Restaurants cuisine du monde Caribbean Region

The restaurant is located in an old convent, with a patio dressed with plants and palm trees. A varied menu, a good cuisine: robalo with lemon, camarones Olano, and the star dish:the Temptation of Zeus, composed of lobster, squid with white wine and cognac but also shrimp and crab with a sauce of passion fruit, octopus with garlic and coconut rice! Didier, passionate about jazz, will feed your ears as well as your taste buds during concerts of a very high level. To crown it all, the son Simón, lyric singer, comes to perform on occasion.

In a very oceanic blue and white decor, this restaurant opened in 2001 is the paradise of ceviches, but also serves delicious fajitas, vegetarian salads and sandwiches. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The flavours of La Pampa Argentina in full Caribbean. The meat is of very high quality and well prepared (there are also fish and seafood on the menu). A tango atmosphere and a wide choice of Argentinian and Chilean wines.

A traditional restaurant opened more than a quarter of a century ago, very popular with the Carthaginian bourgeoisie. It is chic and authentic. You will dine to Cuban music in a setting that resembles the wooden houses of Louisiana. The prices of the dishes are, of course, high but almost everyone agrees that this is one of the best restaurants in town: the octopus carpaccio and the Indonesian langoustines sautéed with curry, coconut cream and tamarind are great culinary moments! Reservation recommended.

Beautiful colonial house, where you feel like you're dining at the bottom of the ocean. Exotic fusion of ingredients for one of the best seafood restaurants in town. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends when the Colombian jetset arrives. Juan has other establishments in the plaza that we can all recommend: Mesa Peruana, with Nikkei, Andean and Creole cuisine, and Pizzeria Gourmet with pizzas of course, not bad at all, although not cheap.

Mike McMurdo, a Michelin-starred chef with his New York restaurant Anthos, first set up a Mexican restaurant before opening Ouzo in 2011, giving the city a great culinary showcase. The Scottish, Irish, Californian and Chinese blood that runs through Mike's veins transpires on the plate with a Mediterranean twist. Grilled octopus; fried calamari with mango; duck breast with grilled squash; beef filet with red wine and corozo sauce and papas criollas... Well installed in front of the park of Los Novios, in the shade of the trees, we are rather at ease!

On deck (fans) or inside (air conditioning), an excellent table for a kitchen with Arabic influences: falafel, historical for small snacks (evening only), but also sheep, fish… Meats are delicious: Try ribs (Canadian lamb ribs), a feast!

On Sound Bay beach, Donde Francesca is a restaurant that doesn't look like much, but the food is generally good and the view over the lagoon is unobstructed. Try the octopus carpaccio, the shrimp ceviche, or the scampi with three flavors. Nice service but rather slow, even compared to the standard of the island, but one is not in a hurry in such a setting, the feet in the sand. One can wait with a fruit juice or a fresh cocktail.

At the end of the touristy part of the Malecón, a restaurant that has become a classic in Mompox. Walter, the Austrian chef, offers delicious Mediterranean cuisine in his workshop house, with good wood-fired pizzas that everyone loves, homemade pasta, gazpacho, salads (lobster with pesto, for example), and Austrian and Swiss specialties... We dine on large wooden tables, in a pretty patio with soft lights. The service is friendly and nice. The prices remain reasonable. A good address.

"The Cave". The great history and the small stories have made this bar-restaurant a place not to be missed in Barranquilla. Writers Gabriel García Marquez and Álvaro Cepeda Samudio, and painters Alejandro Obregón and Enrique Grau, as well as their friends from the Barranquilla Group, which brought together writers, journalists, painters and musicians, used to hang out here. The evenings are animated with salsa and son cubano concerts. On the menu, tasty Caribbean cuisine in a unique historical and artistic atmosphere.

In a corner of Alfonso Lopez Square, Compae Chipuco is a bar-restaurant, a handicraft store and a vallenato exhibition hall. Its name refers to a legend of the vallenato, whose biography is told on a wall.We have a typical lunch in the patioin the shade of a mango tree. It is also a nice place to drink a cold beer at the end of the day. In the store, mochilas and sombreros vueltiao, and a small exhibition room on the vallenato (Compae Chipuco participates in the organization of the Festival).

For an early breakfast, a fresh ceviche at lunchtime, a late-afternoon beer or a sunset cocktail, this is the ideal beachfront restaurant, the only one to offer a variety of options and good opening hours! Dishes are based on local flavors, although burgers and snacks are also available. The natural juices are a lifesaver after a long day's walking, as are the Aguilas, the brand of Caribbean beers that are always served chilled!

An artisan bakery, restaurant, café and more commonly known here as the "rootsbar", this bohemian address is run by Milanka, a Chilean who has lived here for ten years. Since 2022, she has been running Mil Enkantos, the breakfast meeting place for backpackers. Good coffees, fresh juices, succulent homemade chocolate croissants and vegetarian dishes are served at lunchtime or dinnertime. Ideal before embarking on a day's hike, and just a stone's throw from the beach, you're sure to get your day off to a good start.
