Harry's Sasson

Why we recommend Harry's Sasson

Housed in a restored colonial mansion with cascading greenery and an open-air courtyard, Harry Sasson offers a setting that’s just as elegant as the menu. You’ll find polished plates that blend Colombian ingredients with global technique — from fresh local seafood to beautifully executed wok-fried rice, Peruvian-style noodles, and vibrant ceviches. The seafood is the standout, but we love ordering a spread from the bar menu: things like fried crab croquettes, octopus, or grilled hearts of palm that are perfect for sharing. The cocktails lean classic and well-executed — more faithful than flashy — and everything is elevated without trying too hard.

Tip: Ask for a table inside the courtyard — it’s lush, romantic, and sheltered from street vendors who occasionally wander near the front patio.

What We Love

  • Elevated flavors with a modern Colombian twist
  • Excellent seafood and thoughtful use of local ingredients
  • Romantic, upscale setting in a beautiful colonial courtyard
  • Great option for larger groups

What to know

  • No A/C — just fans, so it can get warm

  • On the pricier side

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.
