Animare Restaurant
The taste of the Caribbean.
Where history, culture, and fine dining come together beneath the grandeur of colonial arches with subtle Moorish echoes. Animare is a sophisticated space designed for a deeply sensory culinary experience — one rooted in the ancestral richness of Colombia’s Caribbean and Pacific coasts.
Every dish is an authentic expression of our heritage, reimagined with elegance and creativity by Executive Chef Heberto Eljach, who transforms local ingredients into genuine works of gastronomic art.
Opening Hours
Monday-Sunday: noon to 11:00 pm


Ancestral secrets, vibrant flavors
Our Chef Heberto Eljach’s cooking is grounded in the heart of Caribbean culture, its traditions, its history, its people. An artist at his core, he brings tireless passion and innovation to every plate, capturing the colors and flavors of Cartagena as it lives and breathes today.
