CARTAGENA | La Cevicheria is on many a Cartagena visitor’s must visit list thanks to being featured on an episode of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations in 2008. Thankfully in the decade that’s passed, the quality of the food hasn’t declined.
La Cevecheria opened in 2001 with a focus on showcasing the freshest seafood in town. It’s about local produce and ingredients, Caribbean flavours and Mediterranean flourishes. The space is small, with blue and white walls and chequered tiles, and ocean themed artwork. It combines to create a casual seaside atmosphere.
You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but highlights for us are dishes that really showcase the freshness of the seafood and brightness of the local flavours. Think ceviche, salads, sandwiches, and share plates.
Start with the “Ceviches “Miss-Cellanea””, a trio of fish of the day, octopus, and shrimp prepared with mango, lime, and ketchup sauce. For mains, you can’t go past the tasty Mulata tropical paella – a combination of fresh seafood and vegetables simmered with coconut milk atop a bed of sweet, fragrant Caribbean rice.
For drinks, it’s a small selection of cocktails, wine, spirits, and beer, along with freshly squeezed juices and refreshing sodas. A mojito is always a great choice, as is the non-alcoholic cherry and mint lemonade.
Due to its popularity, there’s usually a wait for a table at La Cevecheria, but it’s well worth it. Put your name down on the list, grab a drink and one of the many nearby bars, then head back for some delicious food.
