Omakase in Cartagena

Omakase means you hand the meal over to the chef. Here it is done with Caribbean produce — the fish is whatever came in that day, so no two dinners are identical.

Good to know

What is omakase?

It means 'I leave it up to you'. Instead of ordering from a menu, the itamae serves a sequence of courses chosen that day. It is meant to be eaten at the counter.

Where is it in Cartagena?

In Getsemaní, the neighbourhood just outside the walled Old Town — walkable from most Old Town hotels.

Do I need to book ahead?

Yes. An omakase counter has very few seats by design, so walk-ins are rarely possible.
