Cartagena, Colombia
Discover the Ultimate High-End Restaurant Experience at Carmen Cartagena
Traditional Dishes with a Modern Twist
One of our signatures at Carmen Cartagena is the dedication we give to each traditional dish, capturing the essence of Colombian cuisine.
Journey through the experiences on our menu: the flavor of egg arepas, the crunch of the egg-filled corn flour empanada from the Caribbean coast, and the bandeja paisa, a hearty dish of beans, rice, plantains, and slow-cooked meats from the Antioquia region.
Each dish is reimagined to combine rustic charm with the sophistication expected of a high-end restaurant.
A High-End Restaurant Celebrating Colombian Culinary Heritage
At Carmen Cartagena, we redefine what it means to dine in a high-end restaurant. Based on our philosophy, we offer sophisticated and authentic experiences through a menu that pays homage to the diverse regions of Colombia.

Sip on Typical Colombian Drinks with a Sophisticated Edge
To complement your meal, we offer a curated selection of typical Colombian drinks, each crafted to elevate your dining experience.
Enjoy refreshing aguapanela con limón, a sugarcane-based beverage with a zesty twist, or the iconic café colombiano, served as a pour-over to highlight its bold, smooth notes. For a stronger option, our aguardiente cocktails blend the anise-flavored spirit with tropical fruits for a refreshing yet authentic sip.
These typical Colombian drinks pair perfectly with our traditional dishes, ensuring a harmonious experience at our high-end restaurant.

Each of our desserts is designed to add the perfect touch to your special dinner. Our dessert menu honors the sweeter side of Colombian tradition.
Savor our Postre de Natas, a creamy caramelized milk dessert, or our rice pudding, infused with cinnamon and paired with tropical fruit compote.
