Un sitio espectacular. Tiene unas vistas preciosas. Pedimos un arroz y estaba riquísimo. Los camareros en todo momento fueron muy atentos y son encantadores.

Nice restaurant directly at the port! The restaurant is located right next to the port and you can watch the ships coming in and out. The food was great, a big variety of seafood. We especially liked the Calamari! The service was friendly and fast. We can definitely recommend it.

Discovered El Chalet by accident and wot a discovery. Went for a glorious walk up by the castles overlooking Cartagena Bay. Dropped in for a well deserved pint and lite snack. The staff were friendly and helpful the food was great and the location stunning. Thanks 😊

Great food: fresh, tasty, local. Served quickly. Incredibly nice staff. I highly recommend it!

Awesome caldero with and even better Alioli, very recommended. A bit far from civilization and limited parking for the capacity. They served the kids menu when we had already finished our calderos.

Superb menu and great for fish meals. I had lovely Sardines (good from May to August) Stunning views back towards Cartagena. Gets very busy at weekends when parking becomes a nightmare so walk or cycle from further away.

Local food, very original, simple and tasty. Best ambiance, beautiful location, sea breeze, good prices. Very recommended!

Fab lunch. Outstanding food and great location. We got lucky but I can believe that booking would normally be needed. One of the best in Cartegena. Worth the 45 minute walk to get there from the marina.

Lugar situado en un emplazamiento con vistas espectaculares. Amplia terraza. Servicio atento, cercano y educado. Pescado super frescos y de calidad. Elaborado de forma original y con genial terminación así como sabor. Precios adecuados a calidad y precio. Cantidades abundantes. Bebidas a muy buen precio. Detalle de chupito de cortesía muy para agradecer. Merece mucho la pena. Muy recomendable.

Restaurante muy recomendado si lo que quieres es probar pescados de calidad. Servicio atento y veloz. Volveremos!!

Llegamos a comer un domingo , nos atendieron super rápido y fue llegar allí y me encantó , estaba todo riquísimo , probamos varios postres y alguna tapa y la verdad que para comer así está genial y las vistas al mar 🌊 me encantó . La chica que nos atendió super agradable y todos en general .

Ya hemos ido varias veces y siempre cumplen. Si quieres probar un caldero tipico de Cartagena es un buen lugar. El resto de platos es de calidad, buena presentación y precios muy competitivos. Siempre tomamos la ensalada completa que lleva bonito, ventresca y anchoas. Buenísimo el tomate! Si tienes suerte y hace buen dia sin mucho viento, puedes disfrutar de una brisa muy agradable en primera línea del puerto de Catagena. Solo el acceso que es algo complicado y hay que llevar cuidado. Mejor reservar

El lugar es magnífico con unas vistas increíbles de la bahía. Los camareros son ágiles y atentos, en mi caso nos atendió Ivan, perfecto. La comida muy buena. El único “pero” se produce al solicitar la cuenta que fueron algo lentos, quizás debido al cambio de turno en los comensales.

Fuimos a comer. Buenas vistas y buen ambiente. Comimos caldero, estaba un poco salado y el punto del arroz estabavun poco pasado. Me lo esperaba mejor. Pedimos también sepia al ajillo, está rico. Tiene una salsa muy sabrosa para mojar con el pan. También pedimos gambones al ajillo y estaban buenos. Finalmente acompañamos con marineras y croquetas de chipirón que nos gustaron mucho. Recomendable

This restaurant is located at the end of the road past the harbor, a bit out of the way, but clearly very popular – we came for Sunday lunch without a reservation and almost didn’t find a table. There is both indoor seating (air-conditioned) and a covered outdoor terrace. Staff spoke some English, and communication was no problem. We tried several smaller dishes – all were tasty, and the salmon toast was especially delicious. The iced milk slush was very refreshing, and they served surprisingly good espresso (especially by local standards). Parking can be tricky – there are only a few spaces directly next to the restaurant. However, you can park a bit further up the access road. It may not look pretty, but it seems to be a common parking spot.

Busy, noisy weekend fish restaurant a bit out of town near the docks, trading on the quality and freshness of it's very extensive seafood. Fresh, quick to arrive and great value.

Gam Shot

Great informal restaurant next to a marina with the best views of cartagena bay. My favourite dish was the caldero (typical fish based rice dish from the bay). Quite good value for money.

A place that has the perfect location. The view is stunning. The service was slow and we decided not to eat but go somewhere else.

Alberto Pérez

The location is quite hided but that is what it makes it so cool. Beside the sea, it is a good place where you can try the seafood the enjoy a good time. The workers are really kind but maybe the prices are a bit high, despite that I recommend to try that at least once :)

Hemos comido allí y al estar tan lleno de gente era increíble la cantidad de griterio que había, no se escuchaba casi a la persona que tenías enfrente. Las almejas fueron el peor plato de los 4 pedimos, estaban muy secas y con arenilla. Las croquetas de chipirones un 10, riquísimas, la marinera también estaba buena pero no es de las mejores de Cartagena. El caldero estaba también muy rico. Hemos esperado 1hs hasta q llegó en Caldero, cuando la espera nos dijeron que sería de 20 min. Los camareros no paraban, tienen muchísimo trabajo, muy amables.

Tom D

Two out of three dishes were great, the third was both disappointing taste wise and took a long time to arrive after the other food. Make a reservation to ensure a good table.

Fuimos recomendados y la verdad que fue una decepción. Los chipirones a la andaluza totalmente insípidos y muy hechos, el pulpo tenía exceso de vinagre, los buñuelos de bacalao no sabían a bacalao y el Caldero normalito. El encargado y la camarera que nos atendieron eran majos. El lugar está bonito, con una terraza cerca del mar y un paseo agradable por la zona.

Hemos empezado la comida bien hasta que ha llegado la fritura que era pobre y el pescado crudo. El servicio muy bueno a destacar el encargado que nos ofreció caldero para compensar el descontento con las frituras. También destacar a los camareros y camareras en especial Iván con su simpatía y que se ha ofrecido a hacernos unos asiáticos como nunca los había probado,un diez para él.

Oh my dear where do I start? I will start with the not so complimentary bread (at 7.50€) for two baskets = Farcical. Parking: poor, possibly due to public' access of the esplanade/naval museum on the adjoining Isla Navidad. Toilets: contained no toilet roll, this is despite three diners in my group making their own individual requests; this I only found out by chance when I told one of my group that the toilet might not have any toilet roll, and that I had mentioned twice to the staff that there was no toilet roll! Customer service: the quality of customer service/waiting by staff was pretty awful; staff were easily perturbed and harassed with requests that were nothing out of the ordinary. Menu: pretty average, the seabass however was nicely flavoured. Vegetarian cuisine: fairly good. The best meal purchased was from the children's menu: un plato perchuga con patas y huevos. The venue: it is located in a remote location, accessed by car or by the small ferry that operates between the city's embankment and the esplanade. It has to be said that the restaurant has a beautiful panoramic view of the city's/harbour, but in my honest opinion, it is an overrated restaurant. You don't ignore your customers, however trivial you deem their concerns; you are only as good as your last customer. It seems as though the restaurant takes its bustling custom for granted, maybe due to the location that offers no other true competition. During my meal I also noticed some cockroaches on the floor of the restaurant; this places no judgement on the restaurant per se, but I hope they act on this matter, in case there's a serious infestation problem, etc. Food poisoning via seafood can be extremely dangerous, if not downright uncomfortable and long lasting. The unfortunately timed cockroach incident only amplified the concerns of several diners in my group, which left me feeling a bit embarrassed and responsible for their negative dining experience. Had I not encountered such smug and unprofessional behaviour from some of the waiting staff, I wouldn't even have mentioned the cockroach issue in this review. Lastly, I have just heard that the local Council has recently purchased land that surrounds the restaurant, hopefully this will lead to more restaurants being established nearby (that's if the Council agrees to do so - if the Council refuses to do so, say on the basis of insufficient parking. Or offers no plan to ameliorate insufficient parking for the area I would encourage speculators/investors to diligently investigate why? The Council has used taxpayers' money to purchase the land, which has bizarrely resulted in the Council ordering the closure of much better restaurants nearby in neighbouring Almechega, a community granted protected status for the past several hundred years. Other, the food is extremely overpriced. The bill for my group was in excess of 250€, consisting of food, alcohol and refreshments, alcohol represented under 1/3 of the bill. In conclusion, I have no plans to return, at least not for a while, and certainly not with a group, until I am satisfied that my concerns/observations I have raised in this review have been fully addressed. I would be very surprised if I receive a proper response or a response at all from the restaurant.

Food was very average, the rice with fish broth was an absolute rip off, 11€ for a SMALL plate of rice with two tiny prawns. The other food was average and over priced. The cheesecake was horrible. Wouldn't recommend this restaurant

Oliver Urban

Mediocre food in relation to prize, fish didn't seen to be very fresh. Everything was soaked with olive oil. Service was fast but not very friendly. The location is great.

Nathalie

So, so bad. We had four different dishes for lunch: creamy tomato soup, tostadas, cod fritters and some large fried balls with black content that were cold in the middle. The cod fritters came with "garlic mayonnaise ' according to the menu, and it was horrendous. When I asked the waiter about the sauce, he said "it's just garlic and lemon. I know the menu says mayonnaise but it's not." What?! Staff was friendly though.
