ERRE de Ramón Freixa is a gem. High on the 10th floor of the Hotel Las Américas Torre del Mar, the impressive view is matched only by the quality of the food under the stewardship of its world-renowned Michelin-starred Spanish chef. There are three differ

Erre is for you only if:1) you appreciate weird details, such as confit peanuts instead of bread (since you are given one mini bread-piece per head), cocoa-butter (actually regular butter with some cocoa powder), or stones instead of butter plates...2) you are a serious fan of cheese-flan.Atmosphere is weird, particularly at the bar, with a low-tier fluorescent lighting, reminded me of a midnight bus-station cafeteria.The wines are exorbitant in their price, and the selection is poor, if you go by the glass, there was just ONE option for red and one for white. I asked a casa LâApostolle Sauvignon for my risotto, and they brought a Chardonnay instead. The Sauvignon was already mid-tier at most, and the Chardonnay was an everyday low tier argentinean- good, but not worthy of the usd15 apx per cup.Plates are expensive, and the menu is not clear, presenting dishes as mains only to be advised by the waiter about the meager portions...My risotto was just salty rice with veggies... at top price. Ordered my wine 20 mins in advance of the dish, only to be served when I almost had finished the dish- despitr my repeated reminders to the waiters... so the service is nothing but poor and unworthy of a restaurant so pricey.In lieu of an apology, the chef sent a cheese-flan; this was the high-point of an otherwise dissapointing meal.I cannot recommend this restaurant.Dear matiasc853,Thank you very much for sharing your perceptions about the experience in our exclusive Erre de Ramón Freixa.In Erre we design every detail to provide an environment, views, taste and attention with high standards focusing on the constant innovation of the gastronomic offer, for this reason, we regret the drawbacks that created that perception of our service, we appreciate your comments, will be taken into account within the actions of continuous improvement.We will be waiting for you with open arms to return, assured you that you will live a luxury experience in the Restaurant Erre de Ramón Freixa, because #ErreIsHappiness.Cordially,Erre de Ramón Freixa.

Small restaurant but decorated with taste and Italian chef prepares the meal that is tailored to your palate.

Cozy restaurant that is a little tight on space. However, the excellent pasta made up for the space constraints. My family enjoyed the delicious fettuccini carbonara and ravioli. I would highly recommend a visit if you are interested in authentic Italian pasta.

There may a point in your visit to Cartagena that you grow tired of the claims of âinnovativeâ or strange combinations of fusion food. Youâll admire the pretty renderings on the dessert plate, be delighted at the colors and textures of your entree seconds before you post it to Facebook but deep in your culinary heart youâll wonder whether anyone really knows how to cook in Cartagena..Here they do know how to cook and a very good job they make of it at unreasonably low prices. The service is good and friendly and if you make a booking theyâll be happily waiting for you. Youâll have a good time, be pleasantly fed, but not stuffed and you will be happy with life. Youâll roll that Salmon Tartare around in your mouth trying to identify that flavor on the back, the one that completes it and makes it a wonderful choice.This is cooking. This is a real restaurant.Whatâs not to like? Perhaps the wine list. It has several choices at a reasonable price but none is likely to set the heart racing. The food here would easily justify a rather nice bottle of wine. Before our next visit I must ask if they allow, for a corkage fee, you to bring your own wine.But whatever donât miss out on this place. There are only so many tasting menus the palate can take. Come here and enjoy what makes food so wonderful, great (and often simple old school) cooking.Wow! I am speechless and honored! Thanks so much in the name of the all team of Montmartre. Everyone was moved by your words! It is such a motivation for us to keep working and improving everyday.I totally agree with you as far as the wine list is concerned. Wine prices can get a little crazy here in Colombia (mostly when you compare with France for example...) and well I use to have more expensive wine for a while but most people want an average good wine at a reasonable price. Of course we do have a corkage fee if you want to bring your own bottle. But for your next visit you will be my guest on that part!Thank you again and cheers from all the team.

The beach house was a hip, fun and beautiful place to spend our last full day in Colombia. Service was a touch slow at times but largely I think because there were some really big groups monopolizing their attention. Canât fault them too much. Iâd definitely go back and stay overnight...the private bungalows looked amazing! Thank you for your kind review and when you come back, we will do everything we can to speed up the service! Hopefully you'll be spending the night....

Great place to eat in BocaGrande, nearly all day breakfast and sandwiches. Had the French Toast & Avocado Toast here, delicious. Quite possibly the best French toast I've ever had with the perfect balance of sweet and fluffy with a great crunch. The hot chocolate was also quite special with a unique ingredient of pepper that really brought it to life. Would certainly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area.

We went to this restaurant Sep 9,2019 with two clise friends. The reception was ver professional and friendly. We all chose local cocktails, which were very enticing and tasted delicious. We the chose the 7-course âmenu degustazioneâ. It was exceptionally good. Each course was explained in detail by the competent and very well-mannered, quick waitors, and we all loved the truly fine food, the best we had all had after almost 10 days vacation in Colombia. We will go again this Sunday for our farewell Colombia dinner. This place is a great recommendation: it deserves at least 16 Gault-Millau and or one Michelin star.The knowledge that after 10 days of visiting Cartagena, they found in Mar y Zielo the best food in the city, fills us with deep joy and satisfaction. It is to know that you could live an unforgettable experience in this place, which we all do with love and detail for each of you. Thank you for the recommendations. A hug.
