5 Wow! I don’t even know where to start with this place!!!! AMAZING FOOD! I think it’s the best ceviche I’ve ever had. Everything we ordered was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. I’d go back here everyday if I could. This restaurant deserves more than 5 stars. I’m not sure I’ve ever said that on google reviews haha. GO NOW!!!
5 Amazing desserts. Wow. I’m very impressed. I didn’t try many restaurants here but this one was definitely the best of those I tried. Highly recommend.
5 Finding this restaurant in a relatively small city such as Ibague was quiet a surprise. It is just amazing. It is not only the delicious food presented in an creative way but also the excellent service, the great design details and the fact that the owner gave us great food recommendations. Also beverages are excellent such as the Pisco Sour. If you are into food in general and close to Ibague make a stop. If you love Peruvian and seafood, you should dedicate a trip to Ibague only to visit this restaurant. For me food-wise it’s the best surprise of the year so far. 100% recommended!
5 Spectacular. Did not disappoint. Beautiful atmosphere, great service and delicious food. Ordered the Bourguignon, tasted amazing, only downside it is that it was more on the salty side. Other than that, delicious! Came in a group of 7, every plate was done perfectly well! Would recommend visiting
5 To say the food was incredible is an understatement. the cocktails were delicious and the food was generous and on point. Kudos for the amazing service!!! This restaurant is a MUST
5 This restaurant offers an exquisite ambiance, combining elegance and warmth for a truly memorable dining experience. The service is impeccable, attentive, friendly, and always ensuring every detail is perfect. The seafood dishes are nothing short of spectacular, with flavors that are both bold and refined. The cocktails are also excellent. We were particularly impressed with the tuna tostadas, which were an absolute delight, fresh, vibrant, and expertly seasoned. Our main courses were equally exceptional, beautifully presented with an artistic touch that made each dish as visually stunning as it was delicious. A true hidden gem in Ibagué, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking an extraordinary culinary experience. Every bite was a pleasure and we cannot wait to return.
5 Super seafood restaurant. Its a little expensive but worth every penny. Staff were very professional and friendly, the food was cooked to perfection and well presented and the music perfect for the ambiance.
5 I’m obsessed with this place! Every year, I make it a point to visit Maria y el Mar when I visit Ibagué, Colombia and it never disappoints. The service is always top-notch, and the food is simply incredible. Also Luna, thank you for the exceptional service - you truly made the experience special! If you're looking for an authentic taste and great cuisine with outstanding service, look no further. Can't wait to be back!" 5/5 stars!
