The Best Restaurants In Cartagena Colombia

Cartagena de Indias is a magical city comprised of many eclectic neighborhoods, such as the seaside Bocagrande and the old walled city of the town, scattered with plazas and parks, with buildings painted in vibrant colors. Drawing from exotic Caribbean ingredients and tasty South American spices, Cartagena is a foodie’s delight with some of the best street food, restaurants and vegatarian places in the country. Here are some of the best dining spots for veggies.
