De Oliva - 4ta. Avenida

Well located in Manga, elegant neighborhood of Cartagena. Food is good and service even if perhaps a little too much disciplined staff. I feel it's a bit overdue, which ruins charm. But all in all, I recommend the place that is superior to what you usually find in Colombia.

Restaurant was very busy! We were served bread rolls... no butter or olive oil! The humus was great. Humus special with pig pieces. I had shrimps that were excellent and my husband had green curry (wonderful) and very generous!

You have a big menu. Variety of arabic and Mediterranean dishes. Food is good, but not impressive. There's not much room. It is a house a little small and loud a few times. The prices are great.

Sensational starters and some good mains kept us very happy as veggies who were tired of cheese and pizzas. Quantities are huge...each dish serves two easily. Prices are very reasonable. Excellent service and a lovely atmosphere. Hummus and falafel were great. Labneh was interesting and very good. Not a tourist place. Lots of Colombian guests. We tried to go again, but they were on a day off.

For beginners, the restaurant is very cheap, but you pay the price on quality. The 2nd round of the reels were rock-hard, which turns out to be the old roles of who knows when. The lady who served us was nice, but not so friendly. You have fixed the rolling situation, but overall the experience did not like. My steak tasted frozen meat as before and the salmon had the same situation. The wine was terrible if you like cheap food and have no taste for super high quality food, you could like that, but I am very picky about the freshness and I saw her take tomatoes from a Tupperware container that leads me to cut the tomatoes that know when. The lentil rice was gland and thanks to her compose my meal as the steak was simple and was not a steak, looked like it was cooked on the oven and tasteless. The restaurant seemed like the kitchen might be dirty, based on a little look I saw. Overall, I recommend something else, I became sick in the past from eating in places like this. Safe meals and safe travel.
