Great atmosphere, and your best bet for dinner

4 Posted on 06 / 13 / 2012

Most veg-friendly places in Colombia are only open for lunch, so it was nice to find a place that was not only open for dinner, but had a really nice atmosphere (we were celebrating an anniversary). Their passion fruit / mango / mint juice was one of the best things we had in two weeks in Colombia. The paella was decent (kind of bland), the pesto pasta was pretty good (although really small), and the hummus and veggie kibbeh were both good by Colombian standards (where there isn't much Middle Eastern food).

The location shown on the map is incorrect. Its actual location is 10.42729, -75.54833 which is the east side of the street on Calle del Curato beteen Del Santismo and Stuart (or on Carrera 7 between Calle 38 and Calle 39 as shown on Google Maps).

See the photos section for the first panel of the veggie menu (they have more options but I took the photo when they were closed and the second page isn't in the front window).

Pros: Good variety, Open for dinner, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Expensive

Oke

It is nice to find a restaurant with a vegetarian menu section; there are not many in meat loving Cartagena :( ... I tried the tofu and vegetable dish which was oke. On another occasion I had their signature vegetarian paella which was very good. The staff is correct and a little formal. There is an outdoor seating area to the back of the restaurant.

The map showing the location on the Happy Cow website is not correct. To find Torre Luna: ask for directions to the Luxurious Santa Clara Hotel. When you stand in front of the main entrance of the hotel, you can see 'Plazuella de San Diego' in front of you. Walk to your right staying on the same side as the hotel. Go into the small street 'Calle Stuart'. Turn left into Calle del Curato. The restaurant is after 700m on your left.

Passable veg option

There's not much for veggies in Cartagena so we were glad to find this option -- but overall the food was quite mediocre. This tends toward the 'fake meat' which is not my favorite at all.... and the vegetable choices and preparation are limited and on the boring side. Many of the dishes are also heavy on cheese.

Pros: it's an option in Cartagana, nice location, good whole grain bread
Cons: mediocre food, lonely feeling place, too much cheese

really wonderful experience all around. they had english menus, and plenty of veggie options. i had the "steak" with potatoes and steamed veggies, hubby had veggie lasagna. both were made by two wonderful women in the kitchen who we could watch cook it! it took a bit of time but it was freshly prepared and really tasty. no need for AC the place is fine, breezy. had my 9 mo old daughter with us. no high chairs, but she just sat on our laps. she ate some as well! i give it two thumbs up.

Pros: freshly prepared, many options
Cons: no highchairs

We had been subsisting on fried food and subpar pasta until we found torre Luna with it's impressive variety of creative vegetarian dishes andd super friendly service. The atmosphere is lovely and romantic. We watched the moon above us as we dined. I had an excellent seitan dish and my girlfriend had the vegetarian paella. We would deifintely go back and highly recommend it to anyone else.

Pros: Service, Selection of veggie options, Tasty healthy food
Cons: Not enough customers
