If you're looking for a restaurant that will look pretty on Instagram, this may not be for you. But if you're a food lover, looking for delightful local flavors, you're in the right place. The three of us ordered way too much food, but enjoyed every bite. Favorites included the foie, artichokes, and Cartagena style octopus. If you're looking at the desserts and wondering what crispy fried milk is, just order it, it was lovely. Absolutely recommend this restaurant. A smidge over €100, but included a bottle of wine, water, and coffee. And, as I mentioned, lots of dishes, 7 I think 🙈 in total.

A highly recommended place to eat in the center of Cartagena, just as its name suggests, next to the Termas. Both the menu and the pinchos are excellent. The food has a "homemade" flavor, and what stood out the most was the friendliness of our waiter, J Manuel, who was perfect in every aspect. We had a great meal and were served exceptionally well! The seafood tapas were also very tasty. The menu costs 16 euros, including a salad and a drink. I will return!

We arrived to eat without a reservation and were given a table in the indoor dining area. The food was good, the bread was exquisite, and we ordered a croquette that was quite tasty and creamy. A generous salad with plenty of ingredients was very delicious. The artichokes were different from the usual ones that are typically confit; these were grilled and had ingredients, very balanced in flavor and quite tasty. For the main dish, we ordered the cheeks, which were very tender and the meat was delicious, but in my opinion, there was too much sauce and the deep plate was somewhat uncomfortable. The potatoes that came as a side in the sauce were very bland; I would have preferred fried potatoes. The sea bass was good and the portion was quite generous. The waiters were friendly and good, and I recommend the quality-to-price ratio.

We have been to this place several times, and the service has always been very good. However, the first time we had shrimp croquettes that were quite good. Today we went back, asked about the shrimp croquettes before sitting down, and were told they were available. Instead, we were served croquettes that were not shrimp, they were dry, terrible, and had a bitter taste. They charged us €2.50 each and insisted until the end that they were shrimp, until one of the waiters had the decency to admit that they were not. To deceive the customer with something of such poor quality and then charge for it? No one responsible in the establishment stepped up. We will not return and I do not recommend it.

A wonderful quality restaurant in the center of Cartagena, very close to the Town Hall, museum, and city walls. It is a grill house, we went for lunch and were served professionally. I recommend the Tomate Aladroque to start. The meat is cooked perfectly according to your specifications; I ordered the Entrecôte de Aliste, which was very good. The baked cod with garlic mashed potatoes was delicious, and the Crema Catalana was homemade, as it should be in this type of restaurant. We spent some time after the meal and were still served with a smile. We will definitely return, thank you.

Great place to try the local cuisine and a great value. The service was phenomenal a the portions for a Tapas restaurant was very large. Great people watching and I added a photo of the greatest liquor ever. Sip it as is or coffee or ice cream or whatever you can find.

It was recommended to us and I must express my gratitude, as we enjoyed a delicious dinner. We ordered a pulpo a la cartagenera (delicious with a hint of vinegar), grilled artichokes, and a tomato salad from Cartagena, which exceeded our expectations. I would also like to highlight the impeccable service we received from the staff, who advised us well at all times. The price was very reasonable considering the quality of the dinner. Highly recommended.

Massive place, with the kind of impersonal, mediocre food and service you expect catering to crowds. The good: I was seated quickly with little wait. All the servers looked rushed off their feet, which is fair enough for the venue I guess. Matrimonio (standard Murcia tapa) was decent enough. Scallop with kimchi was nicely cooked but suffocated in salty kimchi mayo twice the size of the scallop - scrape most of it off and it was decent. Pulpo (not the Cartegena style which was sold out) was passable but too salty and a bit dried out. I don’t know if this the standard for Cartagena but pretty mediocre-bad compared to the places (even very busy ones) in Murcia city where you can taste the quality of the ingredients from the region.

We have just enjoyed a really excellent Menu del Dia here. Generous portions, well cooked and very tasty. We were made to feel welcome as soon as we walked through the door. Great atmosphere, great food, great staff. Everything you hope for in Spain. And all at a very reasonable price. Another highlight of our visit to Cartagena. We’ll be back!

I tried couple of their tapas, like the octopus, the fried duck, the squid, the croquettes, the stuffed pepper, the artichokes and 1 main course which is the fried cod. Calamar a la Andaluza or the Andalusian squid best one along with the croquettes. It is perfectly salty, deep fried perfection. The Crujiente de pato aka crispy duck is indeed crispy and good but just intensely sweet, like super crunchy with sticky sweet, it is a bit confusing. The Alcachofas a la plancha con aceite de trufa , jamón y parmesano aka Grilled artichokes with truffle oil, ham and parmesan cheese is a seasonal product which I am not a big fan of becauseit's a bit sour? The Pulpo a la Cartagenera aka Cartagenera style octopus is fine, not too soft but not too chewy, it looked small but actually you got a good amount of meat in there. The Tacos de bacalao frito con cebolla confitada, piñones y peras al vino aka Fried cod cubes with glazed onion, pine nuts and pears in wine is fried to perfection and the fish is so flaky and not fishy at all, the batter is a little bit too salty to my liking, but the onion that comes with it is suuuuper sweet and I don't think they goes well together. Pimientos rellenos de rabo de novillo con salsa de hongos y foie aka Peppers stuffed with young bull tail with mushrooms and foie sauce is actually soo good and creamy, but I wasn't a big fan of goat cheese so I really didn't like this one, but if you enjoy goat cheese than I do recommend getting it. The menus are digital with QR scan, and they have English menu so that's very helpful. The waiter wasn't the most friendly but he is quite helpful.
