Restaurante Donjuan — Restaurant in Cartagena

We hosted our rehearsal dinner here, and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we began planning, the team made everything seamless and stress-free. They graciously allowed us to arrive early to set up personalized menus and welcome bags for our guests—a small gesture that meant a lot to us.

Throughout the evening, the service was impeccable. The person overseeing the servers kept me updated on drink orders and flow, which gave me peace of mind and let me focus on enjoying the night. Towards the end of the dinner, Chef Juan came out to greet our guests—a thoughtful touch that made everyone feel special and added a personal warmth to the experience.

The food was beyond delicious. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and the apple tart was a clear favorite—our guests are still talking about it. The restaurant itself is stunning, easily one of the most beautiful in Cartagena, with decor that feels both sophisticated and inviting.

We couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off our wedding weekend. Thank you to the entire team for making this night...

Horrible service and very poor leadership from restaurant manager. We arrived in a group of 10 people and requested to split checks, which the staff said was doable. After placing orders, We waited over an hour and a half for food that never showed up. We requested water, which didnt show up either despite numerous reminders. Manager kept blaming us for asking for split checks when we began to complain which he claimed made service logistics harder, despite them letting us know when we were seated they were able to manage split checks at the table. He kept blaming the junior people on his staff instead of taking steps to fix the problem himeself. Worst display of restaurant leadership ive ever seen.

Its a shame, the food here is supposed to be fantastic but the horrendous service rouined the entire evening for us. We left the restaurant with no dinner at 11pm. with the number of good restaurants in the area that offer great food and better service, would not recommend this...

TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! I do not recommend this place, its OVERRATED. We ordered WATER??? And never received it. We had our starters at the table (we never got to the main course do the long wait) and they did not bring our drinks nor water. The waitress was inexperienced and the manager told us that excuse in the worst way possible disrespecting all of us in the table and making us feel very uncomfortable and want to leave immediately. I swear this never happened to me before so I really was in shock, Colombia is known for their awesome service. I really hope they fix this problem… The sad part was the experience we had with only 3 days and 2 nights in cartagena for a wedding we only had time for selecting 1 restaurant to meet and this is the memory...
