Do you Want to Support the local community in Getsemani? Then you should try Mama Nilma as one of the places to eat in Getsemani.
Mama Nilma is all about food from home, which means local food and traditionally prepared, and the whole family is there to support the business. You will have Menú del día, for a very good price, which means soup as the starter, and for the main, you will have either fish or meat, then some fruit for dessert with a glass of juice, my favorite is Lulo. Lily is the woman that runs the place, and she is more than happy to serve you as well as her neighbors the food. Please support this place since it is one of the few places that people from the Getsemani neighborhood still organize.
Getsemaní, Calle Del Pozo #25-115.
If you happen to Miss a Burger but still want to support the local people from Getsemani, you should eat at La Cosa Nostra, the best burger place in Getsemani
La Cosa Nostra Smoked burgers, steaks, and drinks. In 2017, I connected with Julian at his street food vendor at Getsemani, and when I turned back in 2023, I suddenly got an urge to go into this backyard on the street. There was a feeling; little did I know it was the feeling of Julian’s food. He made himself a restaurant now! Best of all, prime meat burgers with Angus beef. What a treat, after all, the coconut rice! Don’t get me wrong, I love coconut rice, but I also love a good burger! This is the best one in Getsemani! Enjoy.

Sunset Place in Cartagena for Cocktails
I know I said five places to eat in Getsemani, but the last one is a place to drink in Cartagena, the rooftop terrace of Moviche hotel in the old town. Because sometimes you want a stunning view.
