La Cevicheria

Located in the quaint Plaza San Diego, La Cevicheria serves some of the best seafood dishes in Cartagena. Made famous by traveling celebrity chef, Anthony Bourdain, when he visited Cartagena on his show, No Reservations, La Cevicheria continues to grow its popularity amongst both tourists and locals who love to eat.

This little corner spot is cute and casual and very reasonably priced. Chef Jorge Escandón really takes pride in offering his clients the utmost freshest ingredients from the sea and takes time to handpick the best quality seafood from Cartagena’s bustling market.

Here you will find a menu packed with a variety of seafood preparations ranging from fish sandwiches to Cartagena staples like fried fish, shrimp cocktail and of course ceviche. Chef Jorge also likes to take advantage of Cartagena’s variety of fresh tropical fruit by incorporating them into his spectacular seafood dishes. His menu is original and creative and his plates are just bursting with colour and flavours that pack a mean punch.

Grab a table out front and enjoy a refreshing cocktail while doing some people watching before even ordering your food. Adapt to the coastal lifestyle of slowing down and sit back and relax and enjoy a wonderful meal prepared with lots of love and taste the passion Chef Jorge has for Cartagena’s food scene.

Don’t get tricked by their name, La Cevicheria serves up so much more than just ceviche included paella, seafood platters, fresh lobster, pasta dishes, salads, basically anything you can think of that uses seafood as the spotlight of the dish.
