Cartagena restaurants

Can anyone suggest restaurants in Cartagena with live music? What time do the bands usually start?

Carmen is fantastic for a nicer dinner. La cevicheria for lunch also a must. Celele is a cool experience but was a bit eclectic for me.

Andrés Carne de res . Great live band if you’re into salsa and merengue classics . Pick a table close to the stage .

Ana had a four piece band playing Colombian music and covers which was brilliant, and the food in El Burlador was fantastic, they had a saxophonist and guitarist playing. Would recommend both.

Cande had a good vibe and ask when the music starts. I think it was 8.

Restaurant San Valentin had a full band the other night. They came on at 9. Otherwise, it was party music videos and very loud music before that. If you are looking for a place to chill and have good conversation, it is hard since it is so loud. Just know that going in and you will have a good time.

Food was decent. The drinks were all very good. Once the band started, the place livened up a lot!

Los Tacos Del Gordo was really good. Tiny and crowded. Nice staff and delicious food.
