We tried Malagana a based on the other reviews here on trip advisor, and because it's so close to our hotel (Casa Canabal, great little hotel).

I ate at Malagana on the 27th of December (my birthday!) and four hours later found myself VERY ill. Two days later (today) I went to the doctor and they said I have an amoeba and it was likely to be from the salad I ate at Malagana. I've travelled a lot in Latin America - including six months in...

The family-run Malagana just opened when I visited in November 2011, and I would totally recommend it for its drinks and nice food. Next to that, the staff is very friendly and makes you want to come back here again and again. Don't miss it!!! More

a family owned restaurant run by two sisters in one of the upcoming neighbourhood of Cartagena. A truly unique place in Cartagena with a great rooftop terrace. Try their fresh fruit juices especially the corozo. More
