The experience

A Cartagena institution, La Vitrola channels 1950s Havana — white-jacketed waiters, live Cuban bands and a room that fills with music every night. The kitchen does Colombian-Caribbean seafood beautifully: ceviche, grilled octopus, sea bass with coconut rice. Reserve well ahead; this is the classic special-occasion table.
