Spanish food at it's best. Excellent old world service and great paella (order the arroz with seafood..outstanding). Unfortunately, like everywhere in Cartagena, most of the wines are outrageously price...stick with the housewine for vale. More

The restaurant is very nice and the frood is excellent, BUT the staff is getting ready to retire and they take foerever to serve you. They do not want to follow your instructions about your order of Paella. For example: you can perfectly order one paella and two people can have two good portions and feel satisfied. The waiters insist... More

This is located outside the walled city, in Bocagrande, worth the ride! Great wine selection and a superb paella! Very good fish and seafood selection, plus local deserts (pie de piña, pie de coco) that were just great! More

I don't know if there are more authentic Spanish restaurants in Cartagena, but Chef Julian is excellent. You can enjoy a nice atmosphere while enjoying a delicious real Spanish dish. I love the Paella. They take a long time to serve it because it is cooked right then just for you. One is fine for two people or three maybe.... More

We eat out a lot, in Cartagena and all over the world. We only write a review if we have had an exceptional dining experience. Chef Julian provided such an evening. The ambiance, service and food could not have been better. The restaurant is authentically decored in the style of many restaurants we have visited in Spain. The style is... More
