A story that travels from the Mediterranean to the soul of Cartagena

With over 30 years of history, El Burlador has not only witnessed Cartagena’s culinary evolution — it has grown alongside it.

We honor Mediterranean roots, highlight the Caribbean’s fresh ingredients, and create cuisine with identity. This isn’t fusion, it’s evolution!

Our concept was born from the meeting of Mediterranean flavors brought during the conquest and the richness of the Caribbean Sea. Each dish tells a story connected to Cartagena, linking its past and present through contemporary techniques.

El Burlador also stands out for its Wine Spectator award-winning wine list, signature cocktails, professional service, and live music every day — DJs, soft pop, saxophone.

A vibrant, sophisticated experience that captures the soul of Cartagena.
