CARTAGENA | Located on the shores of Laguito Beach is El Muelle, a Cartagena institution popular with the hospitality crowd that’s known for its fresh seafood, ocean views, and 24/7 opening hours. The restaurant makes the most of its waterfront location, and is open to the beach across its two levels. Beach shack is definitely the vibe here.
The menu is traditional Colombian seafood dishes done well. Think ceviche, salads, large plates, pasta, and rice dishes. There are a few non-seafood items on the menu, but that’s not what you’re coming here.
We visited for lunch on our last day in town before heading to the airport and ordered two dishes. The ceviche al muelle is a bowl of octopus, shrimp and avocado and is very fresh and tasty, with a nice tangy dressing. The Al Muelle salad, a large bowl filled with lobster, crab claws, shrimp, mussels and lettuce. Again, fresh and delicious.
The food at El Muelle is simple and tasty, and the servings generous. Strictly speaking there are better versions of the dishes served here elsewhere in town, but it’s hard to argue with the quality on offer and generous serves. The fact that you can enjoy it in the early hours of the morning or as the sun goes down over the ocean simply serves to sweeten the deal.
