• No.6 Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants 2024

This colourful dining room in the vibrant Getsemaní district of Cartagena joins the bounty of Colombian produce with chef owner Jaime Rodríguez's penchant for playful presentation. A far cry from starched tablecloths and silver service, it's a stylish, laid-back environment with an ever-changing rotation of a la carte items. Look out for the kaleidoscoping flower salad with notes of cashew and the pedals of at least 15 types of flowers. As well, regulars are a big fans of the confit chicken and banana main that is served in a chicken-shaped crock. The wine list is also simple but seriously impressive, ask about their fermented spirits.
