Top 10 Seafood food in Santa Marta, Magdalena Department, Colombia
Reviews on Seafood food in Santa Marta, Magdalena Department, Colombia. The oldest city in Colombia, romantic Santa Marta is fringed by beautiful beaches and the stunning mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta range. Ancient ruins take cover in the lush mangrove forests of Tayrona National Park, the perfect spot for a day hike. Snorkel along vibrant reefs, then make your way to a café for a multicultural meal that incorporates the flavors of Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe. When the sun goes down, the nightlife kicks up its heels in the bars and discos of the Parque de Los Novios.

We found this restaurant while strolling the streets of Santa Marta in the late afternoon / early evening looking for a suitable place to eat. It was a great choice.There are actually 2 restaurants in the same location here, but with different kitchens and menus. Our choice was served by a very wide menu and I would recommend any of the sea food dishes or a nice steak.Service was attentive without being suffocating and, because we were seated outside, we had an excellent view of all of the very large number of street entertainers who ply their trade at nighttime in this very central position within Santa Marta. We saw many musical acts, ranging from solo performers to a diverse range of bands offering a multitude of styles of music. We also had some very exciting hip-hop performers who entertained with some prodigious and gravity-defying routines.Yes, if you're ever in Santa Marta then do sample what's on offer here, both the food and the ambience.It's a fabulous mixture of Colombian and Carribbean culture and you'll long remember it I'm sure.Thanks for your comments and for sharing your experience with us! We really appreciate it.

I hope this comment can help any of you . I am a person that likes to travel a lot . One of my favorite things to do is to try a Peruvian restaurant in each of the country that I visit. I love the gastronomy of Peru ... My experience was like this . I enter the restaurant and it was completely empty , this was my first scary feeling I started to doubt. 2. Than they gave me the menu which was on a paper ( bad point ) 3. menu doesnt not have so many options at all ( super bad point ) Each restaurant that I have visit so far has so many things to choose from . 4. The price of each dish is sky high . ( on my 5th ur gonna find out why I considered high ) 5. I thought this restaurant was PERuVIAn . It DOES NOT HAVE A PERUVIAN TASTE AT ALL ...I was totally dissapointed.

Lamart does amazing seafood always packed full of yummy flavour and beautifully presented. The thai curry is incredible and most recently we had a really delicious fresh corvina fish and cayeye. Definitely recommend for a romantic lunch or dinner - it is especially nice at night when the street is all lit up!

We were looking for something a bit different to celebrate our anniversary and found it it here with its Mediterranean flavors. The decor is pleasing but try not to sit at the tables directly parallel to the sidewalk because passing street vendors will drive you crazy.Thanks for your comments. Hope to see you again soon

In short- Definitely go here...Owner Luca, from Bari, Italy, greeted us immediately as we walked in and was very welcoming.Food was outstanding. Luca makes the pasta fresh to order (be patient, itâs well worth it).I had spaghetti carbonara, and my friend has lasagna. Both dishes were delicious. The carbonara was the perfect mix of flavors...We will definitely go back. I highly recommend this restaurant! (Super small points department... The chairs and tables seem to all be handmade wood. The height of some tables and chairs are a bit off; they donât match comfortably. They could also use shorter straws for the drinks. The combination of a low chair, a high table and a really long straw made for a combination that was fun to watch as my friend tried to drink his Coke Zero!).Picture is the spaghetti carbonara dish... so good!!

Nice enough place .. super busy which is always a good sign.. food was nice .. but so special that I would return for round 2. Peeking into the kitchen - the cooks seemed to be working with care + precision which is nice to see from ones table .. but the food was really rather simple ... in a high end way.Thanks a lot for your visit. We hope see you again at the 2nd round! :)Best Regards,Sebastian

We chose to eat here based on another recommendation from a friend. The food was good, service was fast, and the atmosphere was nice. The only downfall for us, is we went during "dry law" here in Colombia, due to elections, and could not try any cocktails. Maybe next time! :)
