This young and fresh ceviche oriented restaurant is spectacular in it's simplicity. My spouse and I felt so comfortable coming in off the streets of Getsemani to grab a cocktail at the bar. We enjoyed the vibe and the smells so much we stayed for dinner and had a feast of several fish and seafood plates. You just can't go... More

This was our first adventure out of old city on our visit to Cartagena. Based on reviews we read, I was expecting to end up in the "hood", but it was literally a three block walk from the convention center/teatro outside the city wall on Calle 25. . Vivianna, Oscar & baby Elisabett were amazing hosts, but the ceviche was... More

I have been to Cartagena several times. I love the city! On our last visit, we found this restaurant, which was new since the last time we visited a year or so ago. We had a wonderful meal, including some interesting things we've never eaten (we are from Florida, so are accustomed to many different types of seafood) - "erizo... More

Great food. We had the crab empananas and two ceviches (tamarindo & traditional). Fish can't be more fresh, and owners directly attend their place. From the tables you can see the detail the Chef (Oscar) is putting to each of the dishes. The name Boliche refers to the fishermen's net, therefore trying to relate to the freshness of the ingredients... More

We walked past a few times before finally stopping in and trying this place out. Glad we did because it was the best food we had in our time in Colombia. The tamarind ceviche was great, and the chef's version of coconut rice was spectacular. He was even kind enough to explain to me how to make it. The decor... More

Ceviches de tamarindo, empanadas, puré, asado de marisco...are all gastronomical highlights in the BEST fish and seafood restaurant in Cartagena. No matter what you choose you cannot go wrong... The restaurant is located outside The Walled City and only 5 min walking from La Torre del Reloj. The place family owned by Viviana and Oscar (and Elisabeth at 6 months :-))... More

I live in Cartagena 6 months a year and became a regular at the Boliche since I discovered it a couple months ago. Great food, friendly staff and easy atmosphere. Try the Empanadas de Cangrejo, you won't regret it ! More

This place is wonderful. My girlfriend and I spent 3 weeks in Cartagena and after we found this place during our first week there it became very clear that not only does El Boliche serve the best food but it's also an amazing value when you consider how expensive some restaurants in Cartagena are. We went back 4 more times... More

We stopped here for a light dinner at around 10pm a couple of nights ago. Weren't expecting much as the place was just a small, simple bar and we hadnt read about it in any of restaurant reviews or guides. We gave been to other renowned restaurants around town, but the food here beats them hands down. Let me say... More
