La Cevicheria

La Cevichería

A simple Old Town spot made famous by Anthony Bourdain, specializing in ceviche, with simple decor and long queues year-round.

Gained fame after being featured on Anthony Bourdain's show "No Reservations" in 2008. This simple eatery is located on Calle Stuart near the Sofitel Legend Santa Clara, close to the northern walls of the Old Town. Signatures include the mixed ceviche, octopus ceviche, and shrimp rice. In most cases, you will need to queue on-site; wait times can reach 45 minutes during peak hours (13:00–15:00 and 19:00–21:00). Arriving around 12:15 or after 21:00 is recommended. Single main courses cost around 55,000–95,000 COP, within walking distance in the Old Town.

Opening hours

Daily approx. 12:00–22:30/23:00; some guides state it is often closed on Tue, and it may close early if ingredients run out
