We stopped on our trip around the island with a small golf car and ate a fabulous meal of fresh fish, with coconut rice (oh so delicious) and fried plantains. It was so good that I came back a week later cycling to enjoy another great meal but this time I was lucky enough to get fried breadfruit!

Restaurant and Wine Bar in San Andres Island. It offers international cuisine with friendly and bohemian atmosphere. Our dishes are fresh, made instantly. Delight the place while you enjoy a glass of wine.

I don't know if maybe this place has different owners now, but I don't understand the mentioning in Lonely Planet and raving reviews on TripAdvisor. We came here after reading those and left rather disappointed. A shame I didn't look at the menu before going in. It's almost never a good sign if a restaurant serves meat, seafood, burgers, pizza, pasta, paella and fondue all at the same time. We ordered bruschetta as a starter. They were definitely deep frozen and the one with tomato cubes was inedible. My main (vegetables in a balsamic reduction and parmesan cheese) was OK, so was my husband's burger. At the prices they charge, you would expect better though. Also, the wine and coffee aren't a big deal. However, the waitress was quite friendly and the interior looks nice. To conclude, the 'gourmet' in the name doesn't mean much, it serves to lure in tourists.

We ordered seafood âa la planchaâ, and it was very salted and not really hot. But it tasted good. I canât judge if was bad luck or the food is always like this. But I donât really recommend it.

The main beach on the North End is plenty fun, but we decided we'd hike to San Luis to explore the beach there. I'm not sure I'd recommend the walk--it took about 90 minutes and wasn't particularly scenic most of the way (taxi back to North End was ~US$6). That said, upon walking by Aqua, we made a good decision to spend nearly the whole the day parked here. Though the waitresses are definitely on "island time," it's tranquil, very reasonably priced, and the ceviche was delicious. It also beats spending your day on the beach itself as there's a proper bathroom at Aqua and you can settle with a credit card at the end of the day. The beach itself had fewer people and certainly fewer watercraft than on the North End, and I didn't find the need to wear shoes in the water here either which was a plus. I'd happily waste another day here.

In the heart of the boardwalk, across a picture perfect white sand beach with gin clear tropical water. I like the fact that there are three interconnected restaurants with three different flavors, Tai, Italian and international. You can actually order from any of them and you can't go wrong. If you are into seafood, I recommend the grill octopus. Carnivores, go for the pepper steak.

We went to Seaweee because of all the good reviews on Tripadvisor, but sorry we can not confirm that! We ordered a Wrap and Peruvian Style Ceviche. The Wrap was soso, not really healthy but okay. But the Ceviche was to badest we had during our 3.5 months trip in south america! They served it in a plastic bowl, which wasnât a problem. But you felt like in a fast food restaurant, served without any love. As side to the Ceviche, we became some crackers from the supermarket. Sorry when I pay 27â000 cop for Ceviche Iâd like to eat with normal cutlery and not with a plastic spoon out of a plastic bowl! The worst of all was that the fish defenetly not was fresh, it tasted really chewy. On a island I really do expect fresh fish! When I asked the waiter about the freshness, he said yes itâs fresh. We buy if fresh, cut it in pieces and freez it! WTF! Thatâs not fresh! I really feel sorry for the cook, this poor man donât know whats fresh! I canât belive why people wrote they had in this restaurant the best Ceviche! We had several Ceviches, and this was the badest ever! Donât go there and eat Ceviche! The pricelevel is also really high, in Cartagena, who is also very touristy, we had a delicious one for 20.000cop including fresh Patacones! It was defenetly the first and last time we ate here!!!

We loved this little restaurant. Situated right on the beach, but with trees to provide perfect shade. Best view for lunch! Great food. Grilled fish, pulpo and langostines. Great juices and cold beers. Attentive staff.Check out the hummingbirds in the courtyard trees.

When you arrive out front of this restaurant...you'll be wondering "why ?" you came, as the street is located in an industrial part of San Andres. But as you enter and are greeted, you will see a spotless interior..with a welcoming staff. I was quickly attended by a friendly waitress, who brought an ice cold beer to me nicely and quickly. I perused the menu and chose Pulpa(octopus)...which arrived as described...grilled to perfection, with a garlic-enfused sauce=Excellent entree. And amazing the prices are low ! If you want fresh fish/shrimp/pulpa/etc. this is a must-stop while on San Andres ! The service is great & the food wonderful, plus the beer is cold ! Try this one on for size & you'll leave smiling...oh yes !

Must make reservation! But well worth it! We booked 2 days out for 7pm. Had a nice table for two outside on the dock. Service was prompt and very professional. Had the tuna tartar and grilled ceviche as appetizer and seafood fiesta which was plenty for two. The white sangria and tres leches were also outstanding. The best meal of our trip!
