El Fuerte
El Fuerte Galería y Gourmet
A wood-fired pizzeria in an old fort-style building by the river, run by Austrian-born chef Walter, and ranked first in Mompox on Tripadvisor.
Located in an old building at the southern end of the riverside avenue, near the Santa Bárbara church. The building doubles as an art gallery. Austrian-born chef Walter cooks himself, making wood-fired pizza, handmade pasta and grilled sausages. It has long ranked first among Mompox restaurants on Tripadvisor and is the most recommended choice for a change of pace. It is open for dinner only and has few seats, so book ahead. Cash only.
Opening hours
Dinner, roughly 18:30-22:30 (sources differ; some say closed on Wednesdays)
