What our Guests say
El Pescaito de Getsemaní
El Pescaito de Getsemaní is a restaurant in Cartagena de Indias dedicated to fresh Caribbean fish cooked over charcoal.
Our menu changes daily depending on the catch of the day and is presented on a chalkboard. We work with local fishermen and suppliers to offer fresh sea bass, pargo, octopus, and Caribbean seafood.
Our cuisine is simple and honest: product, fire, and balance. Charcoal-grilled fish, fresh ceviches, vegetables, and flavors from the sea designed to be enjoyed with lightness.
We are located in the neighborhood of Getsemaní, one of the most authentic areas of Cartagena, where art, history, and local life blend with Caribbean cuisine.
Our philosophy
We believe in responsible fishing, fresh ingredients, and a cuisine that honors the natural flavors of the sea. Each day we select our fish according to the day’s catch and cook it over charcoal, maintaining a direct connection with the sea and with the fishermen who bring it to our table. Product. Fire. Caribbean.
Sustainability
At El Pescaito de Getsemaní, sustainability is part of our daily practice — not a concept, but a way of working.
We operate with a short, ever-changing menu written on a chalkboard, guided by what the sea offers each day.
We source our fish and seafood directly from local fishermen who respect the environment and use traditional methods such as hook and line, cast nets, and selective fishing practices, always respecting size and seasonality.
Our kitchen is simple by choice: we cook over natural charcoal, without industrial equipment, focusing on product and fire.
We work with minimal waste, using each ingredient with intention and respect.
