I used to live in Cartagena French American, and just came back during this COVID time to achieve a few things I had to manage in Cartagena. El senior Raphael attended our table. Senior Raphael has the world class attention better than some fancy hotels in town whom could learn from him a few tricks!!! We picked a table close to the door , it was very well ventilated and COVID protocols followed to the T. As a a European born the paella Julian special is the closest to the memory my palate has kept from childhood. I would add a little more of chorizo, Camerones, and pollo to my taste, to make it a bit more spicy, but we loved it. We had a fantastic delicious time. This is one of the restaurant you need to visit

Came here on a Friday night and we were the only ones. Server was super attentive and friendly. Paella was AMAZING and a must try. My friends and I almost turned away because it was empty but we were so glad it was because it felt like a private fancy dinner. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting and if you’re from US and want to try good paella, GO HERE. Edit: After reading other reviews, the price isn’t bad from USD to COP. Food was not over cooked for us, drinks were fresh (lemonade). I’ve been to many restaurants and I can compare this to eating at a fancy restaurant that charges minimum $50 per entree in NYC. Personal opinion but everyone entitled to their own

DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE! I’m currently writing this review while sitting in this establishment. I’m not sure who usually attends this place but it’s is obvious that the positive reviews are from people that are taste blind and blind in sight as well. Let’s start with the horrendous experience. 1. The service. The service was sooo bad. It took 30 minutes for our waiter to come over to ask us for our order. When he finally came to ask, he was impatient yet their were only 2 other tables in the restaurant (the emptiness of the restaurant should be a sign of what their reputation really is). The tables around us received their bread baskets before our table did. The waiter made soo many mistakes that You would have thought we were on an episode of Saturday Night Live. 2. The food. The food was so bad. We ordered the Lamb and it was so overcooked, tough, and bland that I thought they gave us a spare car tire for dinner instead of real food. I complained, they did nothing. I’m sure they are use to getting complaints from their mediocre food. If you are looking for a relaxing dining experience with great food then do NOT go here. But if you are seeking a dining experience with awful customer service, nasty waiters and food so bad that you wouldn’t even donate it for free, then this is the place for you!

A really good restaurant. Lovely waiter service and beautiful food. We enjoyed the meal so much we returned for a second meal later that week. Not overpriced and well worth a visit. Very easy to find. The only downside to it, and some may call it an upside, is that on both occasions we were the only couple in the restaurant. Very romantic, yes, but more people make a better atmosphere, I think.

Un excelente lugar, cultura gastronómica clásica de Madrid. El restaurante cuenta con 48 años, fundado por don Julian que hereda a la segunda generación una tradición de cocina madrileña sobresaliente en Cartagena. Los platos, sobrios consistentes y deliciosos. Porciones adecuadas a precios razonables. No barato, pero delicioso y que bien lo vale. El maridaje de la clásica paella con la sangría o el Merlot de la casa es exquisito. Como postre pidan el pastel de almendra, perfecto balance de dulzor y sabor. El mejor lugar de comida española en Cartagena, y de esos pocos que quedan por el mundo por historia, cultura y sabor. Recomendación: llama por teléfono al menos 30 min antes para pedir que elaboren tu paella, la cual puede alimentar bien a dos personas adultas. El tiempo de elaboración, por tratarse de una paella fresca hecha al momento es de 45 min aproximadamente, así que toma tus precauciones.

Service and staff was really good. Tried the crema de pollo as an appetizer and it was pretty good; tastes like a cream soup with chicken pieces. Had the paella as the main dish and it was extremely filling; we ordered 2 of them for 4 people and we were so full that there was a bit of leftover.
