We've been to Carmen at least a half dozen times and have tried something new from the menu every time. We have NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED. Carmen combines excellent quality ingredients with a creative and intelligent array of flavors that always leave us wanting more (if only our stomachs could take it). You cannot miss on this menu but I recommend... More

I do live in San Francisco, so I have access to fantastic food. With that being said this is supposed to be the best restuarant ( I was told by many locals) in Medellin. Many of the menu choices are Vietnamese sandwiches, and the rest has no imagination. If you travel at all you will not be impressed, if you... More

I read some reviews before going so I knew food an environment was going to be nice, but it was really outstanding. Music was perfect for the site. Service was 1st quality, food very well prepared and different. I will recommend it to anyone who goes to Medellín More

I've read good review for this restaurant. My Medellin friend loves this place, too. So I went there with expectation. The restaurant is trendy, the decor is slick, the patio is beautiful and the service is top notch. The only problem I had was the FOOD... I live in San Francisco where is one of the top culinary city in... More

Carmen was such a great dining experience in Medellin. On the pricier end for Colombia but very reasonable for western standards. The restaurant was very nice, the service was attentive, the food excellent and the presentation and colors on the plates were amazing and picture worthy. A fine dining experience must in the city. And definitely save room for dessert!! More

Medellin is an odd place. It tries hard to compete with other big city, culture-defining markets - but fails at all levels. Prices across the board are completely out of sync for the market. It's no wonder that restaurants have to re-invent themseleves often, sometimes just changing the name and going with the same menu. So, then we find Carmen,... More

Medellin "Gourmet Restaurant" scene is on the poor side compared to other Latin American cities like Bogota, Lima, Caracas, and Mexico City. The beens, corn and pork culture is so strong here that fine restaurants are very few and far apart. That is one of the reasons why this restaurant stands head above the rest. The food is good, nice... More

We had supper here and sat upstairs. The margaritas are excellent and the menu extensive. There was a girl from California running it (I believe) and was very helpful in explaining the menu. Both dishes we had were excellent and no room for pudding. The wine was really good and you can sit at the bar to eat too. It... More
