Celele

Why we recommend Celele

Celele has earned its place on the World’s 50 Best list, and once you sit down, it’s easy to see why. The menu reimagines Colombia’s native ingredients with precision and purpose. Each plate tells a story—where the elements come from, why they were chosen, and how they’ve been transformed into something completely new. It’s not traditional fare. Some locals even push back on it. But if you’re curious about Colombia’s culinary future, this is the place to start.

The cocktails are just as layered, with every spirit, infusion, and garnish selected to match the story unfolding on your plate.

About Our Recommendations


Cartagena isn’t just a destination for us—it’s where we call home. We love this city, and sharing that with others comes naturally. Friends always ask us for recommendations, so we put together this little guide—no gimmicks, no tourist traps, just the spots we genuinely love. It’s not a definitive list, just a few of our personal favorites here at Magno.
