We had the best culinary experience in Cartagena in the last years. Food was excelent, the service without flaws. The manager, Mr Tessier, and Mr Santos the sommelier , make your evening a truly unforgettable one. Amazing decoration and ambience. I ordered the degustation menu, impeccable combination of flavors. My husband's ordered meat, it was perfectly done!! More

Me, my wife and 2 more couples had dinner in the Restaurant 1621, located in the Hotel Santa Clara Sofitel, on february 2012. We chose a table outside in the garden, where there is a beautiful landscape that offers a nice privacy. The service is efficient and courteous and during our dinner we received the visit from the manager and... More

As an absolute highlight of my trip in Columbia I saw the dinner in 1621 on my last evening: a wonderful atmosphere in the garden with tasteful attention to detail, a perfect service, but the delicious food was a journey in itself. And not least, the very charming manager Christophe who knows how to spoil his guests. An absolute must... More

The interior is very well designed -almost like a Phillippe Starck designed restaurant. The exterior is in the middle of the courtyard surrounded by the beautiful former convent and gardens. We had the beef... More

This hotel is in "Hotel Santa Clara" and you can't see any signals from the street. We wanted to go to another restaurant that was already fully booked and end up here. We took a seat at the courtyard, illuminated by candles. Very romantic place. Staff is very nice too. It's a french restaurant, so don't expect to have a... More

Ich war vorgestern Abend mit einer Freundin im 1621 essen, weil wir uns etwas Besonderes gönnen wollten und dafür ist das 1621 das perfekte Restaurant. Für unsere Reservierung war ein Tisch im Hof gedeckt und den ganzen Abend lang waren immer 2-3 Kellner damit beschäftigt sicherzustellen, dass wir alles haben, was wir brauchen - Wasser- und Weingläser, die sich wie...

Unfortunately, the beauty of Restaurante 1621 lies almost entirely on its surface. The decor is grand and colonial with elaborate table settings and dressed up servers. The service is very attentive and cordial. Most of the food is presented artistically. However, many dishes simply fell short on taste. The meal began with a complimentary glass jar filled with roasted tomato... More
