Donjuán sits just steps from Cartagena’s clock tower, tucked inside what appears to have been old bank. The open space and historic bones give it an unmistakable charm, while its spacious layout makes it a top pick for larger groups (with a reservation). The menu delivers on flavor without fuss—fresh local seafood, premium cuts, and well-balanced starters, all paired with a cocktail list that’s among the city’s best. It’s a great spot to settle in for a relaxed, satisfying dinner right in the heart of the old city.
A note for first-timers: the block near the clock tower can feel a bit more hectic, especially given its border with Matuna. If you want an easier entrance, we’d recommend approaching from Plaza de los Coches for a smoother arrival.
