El Café, located at P.º Alfonso XIII, 30, Bajo, 30201 Cartagena, Murcia, Spain, presents an intriguing blend of a café and a bakery, with a menu that surprisingly leans towards Chinese cuisine. The establishment is noted for its cleanliness and organization, creating a welcoming atmosphere even during quieter hours. While it may not be the first place that comes to mind for Chinese food, the offerings have garnered attention for their quality and affordability.

The menu features a variety of options, including set meals that cater to different tastes. For instance, a popular choice is the Set Meal B for two, which comes with freshly prepared dishes that are served hot. Diners have reported satisfaction with the portion sizes, which, while appearing modest at first, often prove to be more than enough. Additionally, the café provides a selection of side dishes, such as sesame shrimp, that complement the main courses well. Breakfast is also a highlight, with options like coffee, orange juice, and pastries available at reasonable prices.

Service at El Café is characterized by attentiveness and efficiency, contributing to a pleasant dining experience. While most reviews reflect positive experiences, there are mentions of occasional discrepancies in portion sizes and pricing, particularly with certain dishes like duck à l'orange. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall impression is that El Café serves as a reliable spot for both casual meals and a quick coffee break, making it a noteworthy stop in Cartagena.
