Discover Restaurants offering the best Bar food in Riohacha, La Guajira Department, Colombia. Riohacha (Spanish pronunciation: [rjoˈa.tʃa]), Rio Hacha or Rio de la Hacha (English: River of the Axe or Axeshore - Wayuu: Süchiimma, "Süchii" means river, and "mma" means land, Riverland), is a city in the Riohacha Municipality in the northern Caribbean Region of Colombia by the mouth of the Ranchería River and the Caribbean sea, capital city of the La Guajira Department. Founded by conquistador Nikolaus Federmann in 1535, Riohacha was named after a local legend "The legend of the Axe". Owing to the powerful rain shadow of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the area is mostly desertic and inhabited by Amerindians, predominantly by members of the Wayuu ethnic group. During colonial times Riohacha was a very important port due to the discovery of vast numbers of pearls. In the second half of the 20th Century, the city became one of Colombia's medium important, maritime commercial ports as well as a multicultural center for La Guajira Department. The city is mentioned several times in One Hundred Years of Solitude, Love in the Time of Cholera, and Chronicle of a Death Foretold, novels written by Gabriel García Márquez.

Found this place thanks to TripAdvisor. This is a modern and bright place on the seafront. I really liked the good-sized terrace out front which is something that many of the other top-rated restaurants in Riohacha don't have. I was there early on a Friday evening but it quite quickly got busy so I think it would be a lively place later.Service was excellent from start to finish. And the menu is great- ceviches, cazuela, inovative arroz dishes, seafood and much more. Ceviches and starters are around 17 000 - 20 000 COP and mains from about 22 000 COP for an arroz or pasta but more for a fish or seafood dish of course. Beer is probably on the expensive side for Riohacha- 5 700 COP for a Club Colombia. But there are cocktails starting from around 10 000 and a bottle of wine starts at 60 000.  I had a difficult time choosing! I would have loved to have a ceviche to start and then a main course. But unfortunately I had eaten a big lunch so I finally settled on the Arroz de Playa y Mar (28 000 COP) - and it was huge! It was bursting with seafood - and the caramelised coconut was excellent!Only small gripe would be that there was no white wine available by the glass - but aparently this was an exception so I won't let it stop me giving 5 stars based on my experience on the night. I only wish I had another night in Riohacha so I could eat here again!RB_BRU, Thanks for commenting, your opinion is of great value so that the KNOA restaurant continues to improve on its service, we are very happy that you had a great experience with us and that you took the time to give us your rating, we hope you come back soon And by then, to be able to receive it with our best bottles of white wine and with the best delights of our varied Caribbean menu.
