4 Best Restaurants in Santa Marta, The Caribbean Coast

From its prime position on the Parque de los Novios, Ouzo serves up tasty Mediterranean food with deftly applied Greek influences that make for a refreshing change from the norm. The high-ceilinged interior is kept cool by whirring fans and the pleasant ambience, which is somewhere between Greece and colonial Colombia. In the evenings, a table on the balcony or plaza can't be beat. Try as many of the appetizers as possible, and don't miss the wood-fired pizzas or house specialties like Greek paella or Makaronia me Keftedes (Greek meatballs) if available. Reservations are advised.
