Casa Beltrí

A meal inside Cartagena's modernist heritage

At Casa Beltrí, the building is part of the experience. The restaurant occupies a modernist palace in Cartagena that is recognized as a Bien de Interés Cultural, placing the meal inside one of the city's architectural landmarks. The setting gives the restaurant a strong sense of place before the menu arrives.

The kitchen calls its approach “cocina de mestizaje,” or cuisine shaped by cultural exchange. Its published description points to influences from Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, European, and American cooking, brought together in a changing menu rather than a single national style. The palace's rooms and garden also make Casa Beltrí a natural setting for private celebrations, where the historic interior becomes part of the gathering.
