We stayed a week at the Hotel Caribe and went to El Bony, which is right in front of the hotel, twice. The garlic shrimp (about $15 USD or $28,000 COP) is to die for. You just can't do it any better. They give you like 10 nice sized shrimp. The fried fish is also very good. Those 2 plus... More

This small, rustic shack on the Bocagrande beach area of Cartagena serves deliciously fresh seafood. Founded by former boxer 'El Bony' (Bonifacio Avila), the restaurant has been going steady since 1976. You can tell how good the food is because of the queues outside waiting to go in.

It is a very casual place right at the Bocagrande beach. I love the food there. The staff is very friendly. If you like food and you are staying in the Bocagrande area, do not miss this place. More

As a vegetarian, it was quite a challenge to find something other than arroz, shredded lettuce and plátanos for dinner, even in a touristy city like Cartagena, so I wasn't very hopeful when my husband and I came to this small shack on the beach for dinner. Thankfully I was pleasantly surprised, and the waitress was very helpful in offering... More

This restaurant is situated on the beach of Boca Grande. It is actually famous amoung locals and colombian tourists. It's ok because of the way it looks...very "costeno" and the way they prepare the food also....only thing and you'll find this in all colombian coast food...it's far too salty.... More
