A STORY IN THREE GENERATIONS
Narrated by his heirs
In the charming El Prado neighborhood of Barranquilla, the SteakHouse Chez Ernest stands as a testament to love and culinary passion. This gastronomic sanctuary was born on October 10, 1960, when the visionary Ernest Reiss Van Leuven and his beloved wife, the charming Liliane Madelaine Poirel of French descent, combined their dreams and skills to create an unparalleled culinary legacy.
Georges Reiss, Sommelier
Ernest's culinary journey began in the kitchens of Lyon, France, where he wove the threads of his destiny. His culinary art conquered palates in corners as distant as India, Canada, France, New York, Panama and Colombia, among other exquisite destinations.
More than a restaurant, SteakHouse Chez Ernest is a symphony of flavors that fuses culinary excellence with the warmth of a home steeped in history. Brothers Georges and Claude, faithful guardians of their parents' heritage, have kept the essence of excellence and warmth intact, turning this place into a temple where each diner becomes a loved one.
