Putting Cuba on the Map \. UNITED

, , , , , , ,, ,, STATES C/F
Washed by the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the \ f A/[ P R T Ct\y>
waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba is the largest island in the A y -H K-1 L j ^ >
Greater Antilles, situated just south of the Tropic of Cancer. It
lies only 180 km (112 miles) from Florida and 210 km (130
miles) from Mexico, while Haiti and Jamaica are slightly less
than 80 km (50 miles) and 140 km (87 miles) away,
respectively. Cuba is not a single island, but a varied
archipelago with a total surface area of 110,922 sq 1
(42,815 sq miles). Lying on an east-west axis, the main island, the
elongated Isla Grande, is about 1,250 km (776 miles) long, and 100 '"
km (62 miles) wide on average. Around it are five archipelagoes:
Colorados, Sabana, Camagiiey, Canarreos and Jardines de la Reina,
consisting of thousands of cayos (keys and small islands). The
largest minor island is Isla de la Juventud. Cuba has about 11
million inhabitants, 2,500,000 of whom live in Havana, the capital. j 3

Paseo del Prado o
The most picturesque boulevard in Havana is popular in
the daytime for a gentle stroll and gossip in the shade
of the trees, and at sunset is one of the locals' main
haunts. The Marquis de la Torre had the Paseo laid out
in 1772 outside the city walls, and it rapidly became the J
favourite spot for city aristocrats to take their carriage Lions
rides. Bands were positioned in five spots along the E i „ h t iions> symbolizing
boulevard to play for their enjoyment. The Paseo was Havana were added in
used for military and carnival parades in the 19th J 5 2 7 , together with the
century, when the paving was redone. In 1927 the marble benches near the
French architect Forestier designed the Prado as Teatro Fausto.
we see it today: it was widened and lined with
bronze lions and marble benches.
Casa del Científico,
residence of Jose
Miguel Gomez, second
President of the Republic
of Cuba, is now
a small hotel.

 CUBA REGION BY REGION

Expl
Exploring Central Cuba - East
1 From aa cultural
From i point of view, the most interesting
place in the area is the delightful town of Trinidad.
This small town also has a lovely beach nearby and
makes a good base for tours to the Sierra del
Escambray or for excursions to the Valle de los
Ingenios. A transit town, Sancti Spiritus can seem
disappointing after Trinidad, while Camagiiey is
appealing both for its fascinating Colonial architecture
and as an authentic, vibrant Cuban city. The Atlantic
coast in the province of Ciego de Avila is good for
swimming and diving, especially at Cayo Coco and Playa Prohibida at Cayo Coco,
Guillermo, where there are good tourist facilities. fringed by sand dunes

HAVANA

HABANA VIEJA Casa de Amalia 




Prado 20, 7mo piso, e/ San Lázaro y Cárcel Tel (7) 861 7824 Rooms 2 Map 4 D1
There are fantastic views out over the ocean and across to the lighthouse and fortress complex on the eastern side of
the bay from this seventh-floor flat. One of the guest rooms is very small, and the furnishings are quite basic, but the
hosts are attentive.

HABANA VIEJA Casa de Humberto Acosta 

 

Compostela 611, 2do piso, e/ Sol y Luz Tel (7) 860 3264 Rooms 2 Map 4 E3
The Casa de Humberto Acosta’s large first-floor terrace is the highlight here, but the common rooms of the whole
house are a delight, with bags of colonial character. Conversely, the guest rooms are rather basic.
johnyterroni@yahoo.es

HABANA VIEJA Casa de Sergio y Miriam 
 

Luz no.109, apto 5, e/ Inquisidor y San Ignacio Tel (7) 860 8192 Rooms 2 Map 4 F3
This is deep in southern Habana Vieja and provides an authentic taste of old town life away from the tour groups.
Both rooms here have two single beds (one with en suite bathroom), and both are a bit cramped but very clean.
Breakfast is charged at 4 CUC$ per person. mirysergio@yahoo.es

HABANA VIEJA Chez Nous 

 

Brasil (Teniente Rey) 115 esq. Cuba Tel (7) 862 6287 Rooms 2 Map 4 E3
An exceptional casa particular and one of the most distinctly furnished in the city. There’s genuine original colonial-
era furniture all over the high-ceilinged house and an extraordinary Romanesque bathroom. One of the rooms is on
the roof, accessed via a spiral staircase and, in contrast to the rest of the house, is very modern. Lots of comfort.

HABANA VIEJA Hostal Mesón de la Flota 
 

Mercaderes 257 e/ Amargura y Brasil (Teniente Rey) Tel (7) 863 3838 Fax (7) 862 9281 Rooms 5 Map 4 E2
The least expensive hotel in Habana Vieja and one of the most rustic with a distinct tavern character and a vague
Spanish theme. Don’t expect any early nights here as the tapas restaurant has nightly flamenco performances with
amplified music. www.habaguanex.com

HABANA VIEJA Hostal Valencia 

 

Oficios 53 esq. Obrapía Tel (7) 867 1037 Fax (7) 860 5628 Rooms 14 Map 4 E2
Rural chic and rustic charm characterize this down-to-earth hostel. There’s an excellent paella restaurant whose
tables spill out from its intimate interior onto the central patio, rich in potted plants. All rooms are located up the
wide staircase on the first floor and are very comfortable. www.habaguanex.com

HABANA VIEJA Hotel Park View 




Colón 101 esq. Morro Tel (7) 861 3293 Fax (7) 863 6036 Rooms 55 Map 4 D2
The most modern of Habana Vieja’s recently renovated hotels, with a character distinct from all the others. The lobby
area with its small bar is smart and shiny but also down-to-earth with comfy cushioned armchairs. There are great
views from the seventh-floor restaurant and rooms are homely with curtains and small TVs. www.habaguanex.com

HABANA VIEJA Hostal del Tejadillo 


 

Tejadillo 12 esq. San Ignacio Tel (7) 863 7283 Fax (7) 863 8830 Rooms 32 Map 4 E2
An intimate, refined hotel but the least distinct of the colonial conversions in Habana Vieja. The restaurant is very
small, though it spills onto a tiny, walled-in patio. Rooms are of the same high standard as all the hostels, and some
are gathered around a second patio brimming with potted plants. www.habaguanex.com

HABANA VIEJA Hostal Los Frailes 

 

Brasil (Teniente Rey), e/ Oficios y Mercaderes Tel (7) 862 9383 Fax (7) 862 9718 Rooms 22 Map 4 F3
Something of a novelty hotel, the staff in this moody little place all dress as monks. This seems to have engendered
an appropriately subdued vibe. The communal areas, such as the lobby lounge with its low wood-raftered ceiling and
the intimate patio with a quietly flowing fountain, are deliberately dark and shady. www.habaguanex.com

HABANA VIEJA Hotel Armadores de Santander 




Luz esq. San Pedro Tel (7) 862 8000 Fax (7) 862 8080 Rooms 32 Map 4 F3
This is the only Habana Vieja hotel right on the harbour with views out across it from the first-floor restaurant. With
little else of note in the immediate vicinity it feels a touch isolated, but this is a good thing for those looking to avoid
the hustle and bustle surrounding most hotels in this neighbourhood. There is also a pool table. www.habaguanex.com

HABANA VIEJA Hotel Florida 


 

Obispo esq. Cuba Tel (7) 862 4127 Fax (7) 862 4117 Rooms 25 Map 4 E2
A magnificent colonial conversion with an enchanting central patio surrounded by Neo-Classical stone arches and
pillars. The guest rooms are excellent – very large and sumptuously furnished in a colonial style with wrought-iron beds.
The hotel is located on Habana Vieja’s busiest street, but once inside you barely feel it. www.habaguanex.com

HABANA VIEJA Hotel San Miguel 





Cuba 52 esq. Peña Pobre Tel (7) 862 7656 Fax (7) 863 4088 Rooms 10 Map 4 E1
Set on a wide avenue with traffic passing by (as opposed to the narrow, historic streets characteristic of most of the
old town’s hotels), there are great views from the rooftop bar of the fortifications across the bay. San Miguel is also
one of the few hotels in this area with a solarium. The guest rooms are large and comfy. www.habaguanex.com

HABANA VIEJA Hotel Ambos Mundos 





Obispo esq. Mercaderes Tel (7) 860 9530 Fax (7) 860 9532 Rooms 52 Map 4 E2
Hotel Ambos Mundos is famous for counting Ernest Hemingway among its guests. His room, still much as he left it,
is now a tourist attraction. The spacious lobby and its refined bar is a classic Habana Vieja hangout, as is the lovely
rooftop-garden restaurant and bar. The original cage-elevator is a great touch. www.habaguanex.com

HABANA VIEJA Hotel Palacio O’Farrill 


 

Cuba 102-108 esq. Chacón Tel (7) 860 5080 Fax (7) 860 5083 Rooms 38 Map 4 E2
Another impressive colonial restoration, this stylish hotel is located on a street in a residential neighbourhood. Though
just a couple of blocks from the cathedral and close to the most touristy sections of the city, it feels strangely removed
from them. The highlight here is the jazz-club bar, where live music is performed at weekends. www.habaguanex.com

HABANA VIEJA Hotel Raquel 
 

Amargura esq. San Ignacio Tel (7) 860 8280 Fax (7) 860 8275 Rooms 25 Map 4 E2
The superbly stylish lobby with its ornate ceiling, marble pillars and stained-glass skylight roof, is a great place to sit
and read, drink and generally relax. Cordoned off in one corner is the city’s only Jewish-themed restaurant. The
rooms upstairs, gathered around a set of interior balcony corridors, are really top-notch. www.habaguanex.com

HABANA VIEJA Hotel Santa Isabel 


 

Baratillo 9 e/ Obispo y Narcisco López Tel (7) 860 8201 Fax (7) 860 8391 Rooms 27 Map 4 F2
At the foot of the Plaza de Armas, this refined colonial building is larger than most hotels in Habana Vieja. It is a
shrine to “high art”, with Neo-Classical furniture and evocative paintings all around. The guest rooms really stand
out, their furnishings beautifully and authentically in keeping with this historic building. www.hotelsantaisabelcuba.com

CENTRO HABANA AND PRADO Casa de Miriam y Sinaí 

 

Neptuno 521, e/ Campanario y Lealtad Tel (7) 878 4456 Rooms 2 Map 3 C2
A fabulous first-floor flat with a surprisingly large central patio full of rocking chairs. The two spacious rooms, one
with streetside balcony, are spotlessly clean and have top-drawer en suite bathrooms. The hosts are extremely
friendly and Sinaí speaks English, German and Italian. sinaisole@yahoo.es

CENTRO HABANA AND PRADO Casa de Ricardo Morales 
 

Campanario 363, apto 3, e/ San Miguel y San Rafael Tel (7) 866 8363 Rooms 2 Map 3 C3
A great option for those who want complete independence, since the owner is often out working and allows guests
the run of this entire first-floor flat. Tastefully furnished, neat and compact, the living room is particularly fetching, with
a little dining table, a large comfy sofa and artwork from Mexico. There’s also a balcony. moralesfundora@yahoo.es

CENTRO HABANA AND PRADO Hotel Lincoln 





Virtudes 164 esq. Avenida de Italia (Galiano) Tel (7) 862 8061 Rooms 134 Map 3 C2
The cheapest hotel in Centro Habana, on the edge of one of the most residential and untouristy of the borough’s
neighbourhoods. The building itself dates from 1926 but the decor inside is pure 1970s kitsch, with flowered
curtains and garish three-piece suites in the lobby. Certainly not lacking in character. www.islazul.cu

CENTRO HABANA AND PRADO Hotel Caribbean 




Prado 164, e/ Colón y Refugio Tel (7) 860 8233, 860 8210 Fax (7) 860 9479 Rooms 35 Map 4 D2
A small hotel on the promenade section of the Prado, but with more of a backstreet flavour. Rooms are half the price

This rustic set of wooden lodges offers excellent value – the most affordable on the peninsula, though the coast is a
20-minute drive away. The farmland setting is a bit rough and ready, but the lodges are spacious, comfortable and have
satellite tv, mini-bar, ceiling fans, porches and rocking chairs. Great place to relax. www.hotelescubanacan.com

This ground-floor flat looks small and ordinary from the outside, so the wide corridors and large double rooms come
as quite a surprise. The sizeable patio in the back garden is embellished with trees, shrubs and a green canopy shading
the benches. There’s a piano in the dining room, which is flanked by two more tiny patios. marielatram@yahoo.es

Just one block from the central square, there’s an unpretentious family vibe at this well-run house. Both rooms are

This stunning house has an almost overwhelming number of notable features. The spellbinding central patio is a jungle
of potted plants, palms and bushes; the bedrooms are an original mix of Colonial-era and Art Deco furniture with

An undistinguished high-rise hotel in a great location, right on the lively Parque Leoncio. Most rooms are small, but
many have fantastic panoramic views of the city. There’s a roof-top bar and nightclub, but the other communal areas
are unremarkable. This is the best budget option if you don’t want to stay in a casa particular. www.islazul.cu

Just beyond the southern outskirts of the city, a three-peso can ride from the centre, this hotel nestles in its own
woodlands and feels isolated and tranquil, though the peace is occasionally disturbed by the hotel’s entertainment
programme. Good buffet restaurant in a reconstructed traditional Taino circular lodge. www.hotelescubanacan.com

This is the least expensive but certainly not the worst hotel in Varadero. Though it’s firmly rooted in the old school of
Cuban beach architecture, it has more soul than some of the alternatives elsewhere, thanks in part to its large
gardens. There is also a games room, two restaurants and a discoteque. www.islazul.cu

Hotel Acuazul is an apartment block high-rise with little architectural merit, but lending great views to most rooms,
which are surprisingly spacious. Guest rooms come equipped with satellite tv, balcony and bath tub and have a
1970s look about them. The swimming pool is quite small. www.hotelacuazul.com

VARADERO Hotel Dos Mares 
 

Calle 53, esq. Avenida 1ra Tel (45) 612 702, 667 161 Rooms 34
One of the most likeable budget options, this is not a classic beach-resort hotel at all. A pastel-yellow and white
building looking something like a large and expensive Meditteranean townhouse, the rooms here are on the small
side, but there’s a cool and cosy sunken bar, just below street level. www.islazul.cu

A semi-circular building that couldn’t be any closer to the beach, with steps down from the terrace area leading
virtually into the ocean. Guest rooms come in twos, and each pair shares a communal living room and blacony, all of
which face the sea. The hotel restaurant is not recommended. www.islazul.cu

VARADERO Hotel Ledo 



Avenida de Playa y 43 Tel (45) 613 206 Rooms 19

Just across the road from the beach, this is a miniscule hotel by Varadero standards, but its small size lends it an
endearing cuteness. Hotel Ledo is a good option if you like peace and quiet at budget prices, but don’t expect
anything more than the bare minimum of facilities.

VARADERO Hotel Mar Del Sur

Closer to the main road than to the beach, this dated-looking complex has a reasonable set of facilities for the price
and, unlike most hotels, receives as many Cuban visitors as foreign tourists. The gardens linking it all together help to
soften the look of the clumsily designed concrete blocks. www.islazul.cu

VARADERO Hotel Pullman

Sister hotel of the Hotel Dos Mares (see above) and of a similar down-to-earth character with more of a town than a
beach feel. A single castle-like turret gives it a toytown look, and there’s a simple garden terrace around which the
rooms are located. It’s worth paying the extra 10 CUC$ for one of the larger rooms with a balcony. www.islazul.cu

Hugging a long stretch of beach, this is one of the more interesting all-inclusives, thanks to the grey stone, fort-like
buildings which were the original resort buildings. It’s in one of these that a marvellous basement restaurant-cabaret is
housed. In a separate section of the complex, along the beach, are newer holiday mansions. www.gran-caribe.com

HAVANA

HABANA VIEJA Gentiluomo 
 

Obispo esq. Bernaza Tel (7) 867 1300 ext.134 Map 4 D2

This is the most conveniently located Italian restaurant in this part of town – you will almost certainly pass this place
at some point, at the top of Habana Vieja’s busiest street. It serves average-quality pasta but generously topped
pizzas, and at as little as 3 CUC$, this is an inexpensive if somewhat soulless place to re-fuel.

HABANA VIEJA Hanoi 


 

Brasil (Teniente Rey) esq. Bernaza Tel (7) 867 1029 Map 4 D3
Without doubt the least expensive restaurant in Habana Vieja, this seemingly Cuban-Vietnamese place serves
standard-fare meat and seafood dishes, all cooked in the usual Cuban way. Paella and lobster, both at half the price
you’d pay elsewhere, also feature on the menu. A series of plain but intimate rooms make up the dining area.

HABANA VIEJA Al Medina 


 

Oficios no.12, e/ Obispo y Obrapía Tel (7) 867 1041 Map 4 F2

The key to making the most of this Lebanese restaurant, whether in the lovely canopied courtyard or under the brick
arches inside, is to not expect authentic Arabic food. Pollo Musukan or Samac Libanes might sound like exotic dishes but
are actually simply prepared meat and fish, grilled or fried without spices or sauces but with perfectly fresh ingredients.

HABANA VIEJA La Bodeguita del Medio 

 

Empedrado no. 207, e/ San Ignacio y Cuba Tel (7) 866 8857 Map 4 E2
The most famous restaurant in the city, this is definitely a tourist trap but at the same time has retained much of the alluring
character that made it so popular in the first place. Always packed, this grotto of narrow corridors and intimate corners is
never short on sociable atmosphere. The Cuban meat and seafood dishes are good but don’t quite match the ambience.

HABANA VIEJA La Dominica 



 

O’Reilly 108 esq. Mercaderes Tel (7) 860 2918 Map 4 E2

There’s a seafood slant at this decent Italian restaurant with smoked salmon on the starters menu, shrimp and lobster
pasta among the specials and a number of shrimp and squid dishes. The laid-back pavement café is in contrast to the
chandeliers and polished floors of the refined, rather formal interior. There’s a good wine list here.

HABANA VIEJA La Julia 

 

O’Reilly no.506a, e/ Bernaza y Villegas Tel (7) 862 7438 Map 4 D2

This stalwart Habana Vieja paladar has been dishing out specialist pork dishes for years. Not much variety, but satisfying
portions and good-quality cooking. You step off the street directly into the dining room, so the less-than-private eating
experience, with people constantly poking their head around the door, won’t suit everyone, but is idiosyncratically Cuban.

HABANA VIEJA La Mina 


 

Oficios esq. Obispo, Plaza de Armas Tel (7) 862 0216 Map 4 E2
At the heart of the tourist circuit, this place is always buzzing with foreign clientele and is a lively place to experience
Cuban creole cooking. The fish, pork and chicken meals are surprisingly well priced given the touristy location and
there are seven dining areas to choose from, including the terrace on the square and a superior central courtyard.

HABANA VIEJA La Torre de Marfil 
 

Mercaderes, e/ Obispo y Obrapía Tel (7) 867 1038 Map 4 E2

This Chinese restaurant in the most spruced-up section of the old city has a red and black colour scheme and some
hearty, good-value chop sueys, including a vegetarian option. Soups are one of the specialities here, and all dishes
are served up on fine Oriental china. There’s an indoor pagoda and a simple central patio.

HABANA VIEJA El Baturro 

 

Egido no.661, e/ Merced y Jesús María Tel (7) 860 9078 Map 4 E4
The waiters at this rustic restaurant usually offer a set-meal menu featuring a cocktail, blackbean or chickpea soup, a
main dish of lobster, shrimp, beef or chicken with viandas, rice and salad, dessert and coffee. Though not overpriced,
you will be obliged to spend more than you would otherwise pay if you coax the à la carte menu out of them.

Key to Symbols see back cover flap

     
  


HABANA VIEJA El Jardín del Edén  

Hotel Raquel, Amargura esq. San Ignacio Tel (7) 860 8280 Map 4 E2
The only Jewish restaurant in the city. In the captivatingly elegant lobby of this fantastic hotel, this semi-formal place offers
a distinctive eating experience. Beetroot soup and Milanese eggplant stand out among the starters, with shashliks (kebabs)
featuring heavily in the main dishes. Unusual accompaniments like sweet and sour cabbage complete the picture.

HABANA VIEJA El Santo Ángel 


 

Brasil (Teniente Rey) esq. San Ignacio, Plaza Vieja Tel (7) 861 1626 Map 4 E3
There are original uses of standard Cuban ingredients at this highly respectable restaurant, producing dishes like spiced
grilled chicken in peppermint and lemon sauce, or fish with toasted almonds. Choose from a table on the plaza, the
pleasant central patio or the graceful dining rooms in this historic building. The 20 CUC$ set meal is good value.

HABANA VIEJA El Patio 



 

San Ignacio no.54, Plaza de la Catedral Tel (7) 867 1035 Map 4 E2
A seemingly endless succession of bands keep the only restaurant on the Plaza de la Catedral lively day and night. This is a
good place to try top-quality Cuban classics. The grilled lobster is expensive but very good, and the Ropa Vieja (shredded
beef) and Lonjas de pierna (slices of pork) are faithfully prepared. A choice of 11 rooms and a wonderful leafy patio.

HABANA VIEJA El Templete 


 

Avenida del Puerto no.12-14 esq. Narcisco López Tel (7) 866 8807 Map 4 F2
This seafood specialist facing the harbour offers the best cuisine in Habana Vieja. Significantly, the head chef is Basque
and breaks all the Cuban norms with plenty of flavours and variety. From an impressive set of starters, like octopus a
la gallega, to simple mains like grilled sardines or fancier dishes like eel a la vasca, it’s all top quality.

HABANA VIEJA El Floridita 


 

Avenida de Bélgica (Monserrate) esq. Obispo Tel (7) 867 1299 Map 4 D2
One of the plushest restaurants in this part of the city, beyond the classic bar where Hemingway famously used to
drink, has soft furnishings and soft lighting but hard prices. Fancy dishes like shrimp in orange cream sauce or
thermidor lobster characterize the menu, while the cocktail list is perhaps the most comprehensive in the city.

CENTRO HABANA AND PRADO Casa de Castilla 

 

Neptuno no.519, e/ Campanario y Lealtad Tel (7) 862 5482 Map 3 C2

The simple creole cuisine on offer at this restaurant in the heart of Centro Habana is fresh, well prepared and tasty,
offering outstanding value for money. A sliding door at the back of a large entrance hall seals the dining room off
from the noise and heat of the busy street.

CENTRO HABANA AND PRADO Chan Li Po 

 

Campanario no.453, e/ Zanja y San José Tel (7) 870 3686 Map 3 C3
The hybrid menu at this characterful place, popular among the locals and off the beaten track near Chinatown,
includes pizzas, chop suey dishes and traditional Cuban cuisine. The staircase up from the street takes you into the
comfortable dining rooms, usually humming with chatter. The pizzas are huge.

CENTRO HABANA AND PRADO A Prado y Neptuno 


 

Paseo del Prado esq. Neptuno Tel (7) 860 9636 Map 4 D2
Some of the best, most authentic pizzas in the city are served up here on large wooden plates at this popular, down-
to-earth Italian eatery. There are some seafood main dishes and 14 pastas, but the real focus is on the 19 different pizzas.
Dimly lit, with a clubby vibe, this place is almost always bustling, even when neighbouring restaurants are dead.

CENTRO HABANA AND PRADO El Fénix 

 

Animas no.273, e/ Aguila y Amistad Tel (7) 863 6334 Map 3 C2

Tucked away on the first floor of a typical neo-colonial Centro Habana building, this simple restaurant has a private,
almost exclusive feel. The food is above average for a paladar in both quality and price. Pork, fish, chicken and
lobster are all on the menu and come with well-prepared classic side dishes like congri and tostones.

CENTRO HABANA AND PRADO La Guarida 


 

Concordia no.418, e/ Gervasio y Escobar Tel (7) 863 7351, 866 9047 Map 3 B2
This paladar is special. Its original claim to fame as the top-floor apartment where the film Fresa y Chocolate was shot
has now been superceded by the reputation of its food and ambience. Whether the succulent mutton marinated in
papaya juice or the tuna à la sugar cane, every dish is imaginative and flavourful. Three cosy, eclectically decorated rooms.

CENTRO HABANA AND PRADO Roof Garden 
 

Hotel Sevilla, Trocadero no.55, e/ Paseo del Prado y Agramonte Tel (7) 860 8560 ext.164 Map 4 D2
This ritzy gourmet restaurant on the ninth floor of the Hotel Sevilla owes its sense of occasion to the regal decor and
furnishings, featuring an ornately crafted high ceiling and panoramic views through its huge windows. The offerings
are vaguely French but definitely out-of-the-ordinary by Cuban standards, like rum lobster. Open from 7pm.

VEDADO El Conejito 




 

Calle M esq. 17 Tel (7) 832 4671 Map 2 E1

A red-brick lodge with a chimney stack and a mock-Tudor interior is not the usual Vedado edifice, and this isn’t the usual
Cuban restaurant, with a menu dominated by rabbit dishes. They have found a surprising variety of ways to cook the little
critter, from roasting or grilling to serving it in garlic or mushroom sauce. Other meats and seafood are also available.

 
    
 
    

VEDADO La Casona de 17





 

17 no.60, e/ M y N Tel (7) 838 3136 Map 2 E1

Located in a freshly painted neo-colonial building with a grand, columned terrace and first-floor balcony, the food
here is mostly Cuban, though there is a house paella made with shrimp, pork, chicken and fish. The Arroz con Pollo
(rice with chicken topped with peas) starter, another house speciality, is recommended.

VEDADO El Hurón Azul 


 

Humboldt 153, e/ O y P Tel (7) 879 1691 Map 2 F2

Rated highly by locals, the setting of this paladar – a ground-floor flat on a block of uninspiring apartment buildings – is
fairly ordinary, but the menu is very impressive. A fantastic array of fish, chicken, rabbit, pork, lamb and rice options, many
in rich sauces, and a small selection of Italian-style dishes are followed by one of the best dessert selections in Havana.

VEDADO La Roca 
 

21 esq. M Tel (7) 834 4501 Map 2 E2

The food here is good – the grilled fillet of fish is a good choice, as is the better-than-average-value lobster, and beef
is prominent on the international and Cuban menu – but more of a draw is the distinctive environment. Formal
black-tie service in an Art Deco dining space with coloured-glass panels that give off a soothing light.

VEDADO El Polinesio 
 

Calle 23, e/ L y M Tel (7) 834 6131 Map 2 F2

Below the lobby of the Habana Libre hotel, but accessed from the street outside, there is a distinct basement flavour
to this moody, low-ceiling, bamboo-bedecked establishment that supposedly specializes in Polynesian food (Cuban-
Asian would be more accurate). Barbecued chicken is the house speciality.

VEDADO La Torre 
 

Edificio Focsa, 17 e/ M y N Tel (7) 834 3088 Map 2 E1

There are spectacular views from this restaurant at the top of this vast apartment block. On offer is a broad selection of
good-quality Cuban and international fare, including seafood dishes like flame-grilled shrimp and various roasted or grilled
meats. The chocolate profiteroles are delicious. You can also just have a drink at the bar – the bar food isn’t bad, either.

VEDADO 1830 




 

Malecón no.1252 esq. 20 Tel (7) 834 3090 to 92 Map 1 A3

At this magnificent mansion in its own private corner of Vedado on the waterfront near Miramar, a delectable selection
of cosmopolitan dishes is served, including duck in orange sauce and beef in blue cheese. The formal, attentive staff
match the sumptuous dining rooms, but the mood lightens on the terrace during the nightly music and dance shows.

GREATER HAVANA (COJÍMAR) La Terraza de Cojímar 

 

Real no.61, Cojímar Tel (7) 939232

This restaurant is renowned for its Ernest Hemingway associations, and held more allure when it was frequented by
the late Gregorio Fuentes – on whom the author based the protagonist in The Old Man and the Sea. You can still
enjoy seafood soup, shrimp and various fish dishes surrounded by photos of both men and some big local catches.

GREATER HAVANA (HABANA DEL ESTE) Los XII Apóstoles 



 

Castillo del Morro, Parque Morro Cabaña Tel (7) 863 8295
From the terrace of this restaurant at the foot of the El Morro fortress, there are pleasant views of Habana Vieja on the
other side of the bay. Traditional Cuban food is served behind a battery of 12 cannons (the 12 “apostles” in the restaurant’s
name). Somewhat at odds with the relaxing atmosphere, a karaoke bar-cum-nightclub operates nightly ‘til 3am.

GREATER HAVANA (HABANA DEL ESTE) La Divina Pastora 



Avenida Monumental, Parque Morro Cabaña Tel (7) 860 8341

Get a table out on the terrace from where you can enjoy the fantastic views of the city and bay – the main reason
for making the trip here. The Cuban cuisine is reasonable but pricey. There’s a lobster tank here, so if you like your
shellfish fresh, this is a good option. The excellent live traditional music also makes a visit worthwhile.

GREATER HAVANA (JARDÍN BOTÁNICO NACIONAL) El Bambú 


 

Jardín Botánico Nacional, Carretera Rocío Km 3.5, Calabazar Tel (7) 547278
Looking down onto the beautifully landscaped Japanese section of the Botanical Gardens, outside the city proper, this
excellent organic, vegetarian outdoor restaurant has one of the most serene settings in the whole of Havana. They operate
a buffet service, with herbs from the gardens flavouring the salads, rices and soups. Open lunchtime only, Wed-Sun.

GREATER HAVANA (LA LISA) La Giraldilla 


 

Calle 222 esq. Avenida 37, Reparto La Coronela Tel (7) 273 0568
On the western outskirts of the city, on a magnificent country estate, are the delightful dining areas of swanky La Giraldilla.
You can enjoy top-quality Cuban delicacies in the splendid dining hall where arched floor-to-ceiling windows create a
lovely light, on the fantastic leafy patio, or in the candle-lit wine cellar. There’s a cigar shop and nightclub here, too.

GREATER HAVANA (MIRAMAR) Don Cangrejo 



 

Avenida 1ra, e/ 16 y 18 Tel (7) 204 5002

This waterfront restaurant with outdoor tables right by the ocean is one of Havana’s finest seafood specialists. The
large variety of dishes includes crab cooked in several styles, shrimp, lobster and its Gran Mariscada house special – a
huge mixed seafood platter. It is run by the Ministry of Fisheries, guaranteeing that the fish here is as fresh as possible.

Key to Price Guide see p276 Key to Symbols see back cover flap
   
 
  


GREATER HAVANA (MIRAMAR) El Aljibe  

Avenida 7ma, e/ 24 y 26 Tel (7) 204 1583

With a reputation for up-to-the-mark creole cooking going back many years, this top-class ranch-style restaurant is a
great place to sample some classic national dishes like Picadillo de Res (minced beef), Masas de Cerdo (hunks of pork)
and the house special, Pollo Asado El Aljibe (roast chicken in citrus juices). Plenty of rustic charm.

GREATER HAVANA (MIRAMAR) La Cecilia 



 

Avenida 5ta, e/ 110 y 112 Tel (7) 204 1562

Surrounded by and entwined with tropical plants, this is a subdued place to enjoy the mostly Cuban menu, except
when there’s a tour group visiting. As well as a fine selection of typical pork, beef, chicken and fish dishes, the rarely
seen house special, Tamal en Cazuela, is a simple but delicious creamy maize soup. There’s a good wine list, too.

GREATER HAVANA (MIRAMAR) Tocororo 


 

Avenida 3ra y 18 Tel (7) 204 2209, 204 2998

This smart but laid-back eatery in a fabulously decorated Miramar mansion is a good place for foodies as there’s no
fixed menu and the chefs will do their best to accommodate all requests. Effectively two restaurants in one, the emphasis
is mainly on creole ingredients, including live lobster, with a smaller Japanese section serving sushi and tempura.

GREATER HAVANA (PLAYA) La Ferminia 



 

Avenida 5ta no.18207 esq. 184, Reparto Flores Tel (7) 273 6786, 273 6555
In the decadent surroundings of what was once a residential mansion, there are four elegant private dining rooms
with windows onto the beautiful garden patio, which holds more tables. Topping the list of exquisitely prepared
international and Cuban food is La Espada Corrida, a full-on mix of six different tasty meats.

WESTERN CUBA

ISLA DE LA JUVENTUD El Cochinito 



 

José Martí esq. 24, Nueva Gerona Tel (46) 322 809
Cubans and foreigners alike are charged in normal pesos here, so the creole cuisine works out extremely cheap.
Right in the centre of Nueva Gerona, this is one of the best-known restaurants round these parts but don’t assume
this translates to top-end cookery. Like at most peso restaurants the food is basic, but good value.

ISLA DE LA JUVENTUD La Insula 


 

José Martí esq. 22, Nueva Gerona Tel (46) 321 825
The only place in Nueva Gerona that can justifiably claim to have a bit of class, this is the most popular restaurant
with tourists and has the most reliable meals in town. Their take on traditional Cuban dishes includes Pollo Insula, a
chicken dish in a sweet and sour sauce with butter, and Lomo Ahumado – smoked loin of pork.

PINAR DEL RÍO Nuestra Casa 



Colón no.161, e/ Ceferino Fernández

A meal here in one of the city’s only two paladares feels like eating in a giant tree house, with several tables set out
on a roof terrace in the shadow of overhanging trees. Set meals of simply prepared chicken, fish or pork make up the
limited selection here. This is a basic operation but it still offers better food than in all the state restaurants in town.

PINAR DEL RÍO Rumayor 



 

Carretera a Viñales Km 1, Pinar del Río city Tel (48) 763 007, 763 051
The best state restaurant in the provincial capital of Pinar del Río is out of the way, on a woody patch of land on the
northern outskirts of the city. The smoked chicken is the best dish on a short menu, but the rustic surroundings of
this wooden lodge and its tribal imagery give it character. Ring ahead, as opening hours are sporadic.

SIERRA DEL ROSARIO Casa del Campesino 
 

Comunidad de Las Terrazas, Las Terrazas Tel (48) 578 555, 578 700
For a traditional farm meal, surrounded by animals, fruit trees and beehives, visit this farmer’s countryside house
where guests can help with the cooking, share with the family, walk around the house, or even ride on horseback
while waiting for the roast pork or chicken to be served. A nice experience.

SIERRA DEL ROSARIO El Romero 


 

Comunidad de Las Terrazas, Las Terrazas Tel (48) 578 555 ext.129
This organic, predominantly vegetarian restaurant perched over the back of the village in an apartment block is a
rarity in Cuba, offering a comprehensive menu of genuinely tasty, imaginatively prepared and presented non-meat
dishes. Purées, soups, salads, pastas, pâtes, egg dishes and more. Each dish comes in large, medium or small portions.

VIÑALES El Palenque de los Cimarrones 




 

Cueva de San Miguel, Carretera a Puerto Esperanza Km 36 Tel (48) 796 290
You can drive or walk around the outside of the mogote hill, behind which are the bohio roofs of this tour-group lunch-
only stop, but it’s more fun to go through the rock itself to the hideout location on the other side. Juicy chicken dishes and
other creole food make up the menu. Coincide with a tour group and you’ll get an Afro-Cuban show of music and dance.


    
 
    

VIÑALES Casa de Don Tomás 


 

Salvador Cisnero, e/ Adela Azcuy y Carretera a Pinar del Río Tel (48) 796 300
The only proper restaurant in the village at Viñales, and one of few places open after dark, this ranch building surrounded
by attractive gardens is always full of guests. The house special, the Delicias de Don Tomás – a weighty combination of
meats and rice – is not for the faint-hearted. For more delicate palates there’s good-value lobster, fish, pork and chicken.

VIÑALES Las Terrazas 




 

Hotel La Ermita Tel (48) 796 071 ext.216

The best-located restaurant in Viñales is on a hillside balcony terrace at the back of this hotel complex, with stunning
views of the valley. There are a number of pricey but worthwhile lobster options on the Cuban menu and plenty of
cheaper dishes, most of them following the same grilled-meat formula so prevalent across the country.

CENTRAL CUBA – WEST

CIENFUEGOS Dinos Pizza 

 

Calle 31, e/ 54 y 56 Tel (43) 552 020

This plain, straighforward pizzeria right in the heart of the historic town centre offers great value medium-crust
pizzas and a few Cuban staples like chicken, pork and shrimp. Choose between a small and family-sized base and
add your own toppings for between 50 c and 4 CUC$ a pop. The small size is easily enough for one person.

CIENFUEGOS Café Cienfuegos 

 

Club Cienfuegos, Paseo del Prado, e/ Ave. 8 y Ave.12 Tel (43) 512 891 ext.112
In the palatial Club Cienfuegos building is this refined seafood restaurant with a classic saloon bar and high ceilings. It’s
one of the best restaurants in Cienfuegos, if you want a sense of occasion. Fish, shrimp and lobster dominates the
menu but there’s also vegetarian paella and several meat dishes. The 3 CUC$ entrance fee will be taken off your bill.

CIENFUEGOS El Criollito 


 

Calle 33 no. 5603, e/ 56 y 58 Tel (43) 525 540

Another menu-less paladar, the waiter will offer you chicken, pork or fish cooked to your requirements, each
accompanied by copious amounts of fried plantain chips, rice and salad. One of only two legal paladares in the
whole of Cienfuegos, and the more reliably open of the two thanks to the central location of this colonial house.

CIENFUEGOS Palacio del Valle 

 

Paseo del Prado esq. Ave. 0 Tel (43) 551 226

The ornate dining room in the magnificent Palacio del Valle is in keeping with the intricate Moorish architecture that
characterizes the whole building. The food isn’t quite magnificent, but the seafood platter or the lobster are good
bets. Climb the spiral staircase to the delightful rooftop bar for views of the bay and city.

CIENFUEGOS 1869 

 

Hotel Unión, Calle 31 esq. 54 Tel (43) 551 020 ext.318

There are touches of refinement in this hotel restaurant, but it stops short of real elegance. Four central arches divide
the room in two, and there are examples of colonial-era furnishings. There’s a wide choice of traditional Cuban
dishes from picadillo and grilled meats to the La Unión Seafood Special of fish, shrimp, lobster and squid.

PENÍNSULA DE ZAPATA Punta Perdíz 

 

Carretera de Playa Larga a Playa Girón Km 24

On a patchy section of secluded coastline, this boat-themed restaurant stands out like a sore thumb but serves up
some reasonable (if slightly overpriced) seafood dishes and, more notably, crocodile meat. One of the peninsula’s
many tour-group stop-offs, the quality of food here is at least as good as that of the local hotel restaurants.

PENÍNSULA DE ZAPATA Rancho Benito 

 

Caleta Buena, Playa Girón Tel (45) 915 589

Some 8 km (5 miles) down a bumpy track beyond the Playa Girón hotel resort is this seafront ranch-style restaurant on
a plot of land known as Caleta Buena. It’s a wonderfully secluded and tranquil place for a seafood lunch. The open-
air grill sits just above a lovely, clear natural pool. The entrance fee to Caleta Buena will be deducted from your bill.

SANTA CLARA El Marino 


 

Carretera Central esq. Ave. Ramón González Tel (42) 205 594
This canteen-like restaurant on a main road is known as a seafood specialist, but in reality there are just as many
meat dishes on the limited menu here. The real draw here is the low prices. Though the menu is priced in Cuban
pesos, you can pay the equivalent cost in convertibles.

SANTA CLARA La Concha 

 

Carretera Central esq. Danielito Tel (42) 218 124

Consistently recommended by locals as the best state restaurant in the city, this billing is accurate but very much relative
to the low standards set by the competition. Here you will find basic pastas, pizzas and reasonable comida criolla
(creole food). A large school-style dining room with a tiled mural provides the basic setting.

Key to Price Guide see p276 Key to Symbols see back cover flap
   
 
   

SANTA CLARA Los Taínos 



 

Hotel Los Caneyes, Avenida los Eucaliptos y Circunvalación Tel (42) 218 140
The 8 CUC$ buffet in a reconstructed Taíno lodge setting at this hotel is worth the trip to the low hills beyond the
southern outskirts of the city. With dishes based around pasta, traditionally prepared meat or plates for vegetarians
from the modest salad counter, it offers a selection of food way beyond anything on offer in the city centre.

SANTA CLARA Sabor Latino 



 

Esquerra no.157, e/ Julio Jover y Berenguer Tel (42) 206 539

As the only official sit-down paladar in the city, they can afford to charge a little above the market rate here but it’s
worth the extra cost for the finest cooking in the city centre. Thoughtful presentation and extra touches mark out
the creole dishes here, for example by adding shrimp and cheese to their lobster dish and pineapple to the chicken.

VARADERO Albacora 



 

Calle 59 y Playa Tel (45) 613 650

One of the better beachfront eateries in the centre of Varadero. This basic outdoor patio with plastic chairs and tables
and steps leading onto the sand offers simple, fresh Cuban food under the shade of a couple of trees. The pricier dishes
are lobster and a mixed seafood grill, while you can enjoy pork, beef and chicken selections at a quarter of the cost.

VARADERO Chong Kwok 

 

Avenida 1ra esq. 55 Tel (45) 612 460, 613 525

The floor-cushion seating and low tables at this Chinese restaurant are more authentic than the food, but there are
at least some chop suey dishes and a choice of stir-fried rice, all of it very reasonably priced. On the menu alongside
these are some remarkably Cuban-looking dishes, including grilled lobster at just under 20 CUC$.

VARADERO Dante 

 

Parque Josone, Ave. 1ra, e/ 56 y 58 Tel (45) 667 738

Unusually for an Italian restaurant in Cuba, the pasta dishes here are superior to the pizzas. That said, there are some
sauces to be avoided, like the carbonara which has a very odd kick to it, and others which are much more
dependable, like the bolognese. Ask for a table on the balcony over the lake for a wonderfully relaxing meal.

VARADERO El Bodegón Criollo 


 

Avenida de Playa esq. 40 Tel (45) 667 784

With more character than most other restaurants in the town, this grey and red fairytale-style cottage with a small
collection of intimate spaces has more than a passing resemblance to the famous Bodeguita del Medio in Havana,
with walls full of scribbled signatures. Good-quality classic Cuban dishes.

VARADERO Esquina Cuba 


 

Avenida 1ra esq. 36 Tel (45) 614 019

An open-air venue by the side of the road serving standard tasty comida criolla, this place suffers slightly from its unexotic
location but regains a little lost ground with the 1950s memorabilia scattered around, including a genuine white and
pink Oldsmobile and an old jukebox. Dine à la carte or go for the excellent value all-you-can-eat buffet at 12 CUC$.

VARADERO Guamairé 




Avenida 1ra, e/ 26 y 27 Tel (45) 611 893

A humble little wooden bungalow with a veranda facing the road and a set of very reasonably priced comida criolla
dishes. Along with lobster, chicken and pork dishes, you can order crocodile steak, a rare dish anywhere in Cuba –
Guamairé this is the only place in the town where you can find it.

VARADERO La Fondue (Casa del Queso Cubano) 


 

Avenida 1ra, e/ 62 y 63 Tel (45) 667 747

La Fondue offers a unique menu by Cuban standards, based loosely on French-Swiss cuisine. The simple formula here
is to cook everything with cheese. There are also less experimental dishes based on more familiar Cuban recipes. The
restaurant itself is in a pleasant roadside building with a Mediterranean villa interior.

VARADERO Mallorca 


 

Avenida 1ra, e/ 61 y 62 Tel (45) 667 746

The reputation of Mallorca as a Spanish restaurant is owed almost exclusively to the fact that its trademark dish is
paella, but the rest of the menu is Cuban. The excellent-value paellas come with either vegetables, shrimp, squid,
chicken or, for the house special, a mixture of all four. A smart but homely interior in a handsome villa.

VARADERO Pizza Nova 

 

Plaza América, Autopista del Sur Km 7 Tel (45) 668 585

A pizza chain restaurant in a shopping mall might not sound like a great place to eat, but with a lovely view of the
sea over tree tops from the balcony, and a good selection of appetizing thin-crust pizzas, this is actually a great
option. There’s a decent range of pastas, too, including the experimental Rigatoni à la Vodka.

VARADERO Antigüedades 

 

Avenida 1ra esq. 59 Tel (45) 667 329

The marvellous interior decoration of this seafood specialist is an Aladdin’s Cave of antiques, furniture, pictures and
all sorts of curiosities hanging from the walls and ceiling. The cheapest dish at this eye-catching place to eat is
10 CUC$, making it relatively expensive but the quality of food is good.



    
 
    

VARADERO El Retiro 

 

Parque Josone, Ave. 1ra, e/ 56 y 58 Tel (45) 667 316

Housed in what was once the residence of wealthy financiers, there’s still a slight air of class about this place, though
the staff are approachable and friendly. The speciality here is lobster, served whole or on skewers, garnished with
garlic or lemon or, in the case of the Gran Grillada, cooked and served with shrimp, beef and pork.

VARADERO La Campana 


 

Parque Josone, Ave. 1ra, e/ 56 y 58 Tel (45) 667 224

Inside this restaurant with its rustic interior and large fireplace, there’s a sense of being in an alpine lodge rather than in
the middle of Parque Josone, with the sweeping, wooded grounds laid out before it. It’s also one of the better purveyors
of authentic creole cooking in Varadero. The house speciality is the Cuban classic, Ropa Vieja (shredded stewed beef).

VARADERO Steak House Toro 

 

Avenida 1ra esq. 25 Tel (45) 667 145

Meat lovers will not be disappointed at this Canadian-Cuban joint venture offering North American-sized steaks. Lying
cellar-like, a few feet below street level, this is a stereotypical steak house with a wagon wheel and beer barrel central to
the decor. From six-ounce filets to 24-ounce chateaubriand at 38 CUC$, all appetites and wallets are catered for.

VARADERO Las Américas 
 

Mansión Xanadú, Autopista del Sur Km 7 Tel (45) 667 750, 667 877
A high-class establishment in the refined antique-furniture dining rooms of what was once a millionaire’s mansion,
the Mansión Xanadú (see p262). Nowadays it’s an exclusive hotel and one of the best restaurants on the whole
peninsula, serving Cuban and international haute cuisine and with a fantastic wine list.

CENTRAL CUBA – EAST

CAMAGÜEY Don Ronquillo 


 

Ignacio Agramonte no. 406 esq. República Tel (32) 285 239
In the touristy Galería Colonial complex, a bar, shops and cabaret share an immaculately restored colonial residence with
this attractive restaurant where you can sample a number of traditional Camagueyan recipes. The local Bistec Mayoral
stands out – sautéed kidney served on toast in an onion and red wine sauce, a welcome break from the Cuban norm.

CAMAGÜEY La Campaña de Toledo 



 

Plaza San Juan de Dios Tel (32) 286 812

An 18th-century townhouse typical of the plaza where it’s found, with a large and leafy courtyard out back where
there are several tables. Chicken, pork and fish feature on one of the better menus in the city but for something a bit
different there’s Boliche Mechado – beef garnished with bacon served with fries and congrí.

SANCTI SPÍRITUS Mesón de la Plaza 
 

Máximo Gómez no.34 y Honorato Tel (41) 285 46

This rustic restaurant reminiscent of a Spanish taberna has long wooden tables with benches, a wooden raftered ceiling
with wrought-iron hanging lamps and earthenware bowls at each table. The food is Cuban with a Spanish twist; the
house tipple is sangría and there’s a delicious chickpea soup. The selection of main dishes features beef stewed with corn.

TRINIDAD Vía Reale 



Rubén Martínez Villena, e/ Piro Guinart y Ciro Redondo Tel (419) 6476
It would be wrong to label Vía Reale an Italian restaurant, but it is the only pizza specialist in Trinidad. A diminutive,
canopy-covered patio provides an alternative to the street-side main dining room in what is, by local standards, a
run-of-the-mill though well-restored colonial building. Grilled shrimp, lobster and steak dominate the menu.

TRINIDAD Estela 



Simón Bolívar no.557, e/ Juan Manuel Márquez y José Mendoza Tel (419) 4329
Though this pleasant backyard paladar may not be the most sophisticated home-run restaurant in the city, many locals
regard it as serving the best Cuban food. In the cobbled historic centre with a split-level patio, the ambience is delightfully
tranquil. Accompanying the pork, chicken or fish mains are mountainous side orders of viandas, congrí and salad.

TRINIDAD Trinidad Colonial 



 

Maceo esq. Colón Tel (419) 6473

Located in the most aristocratic colonial building in the city to have been converted into a restaurant, here you will
find one of Trinidad’s most extensive selections of creole cuisine. Shrimp in hot sauce stands out from the other
classic Cuban and creole dishes. Antique dressers and cabinets are dotted about the several grand dining rooms.

TRINIDAD Restaurante de Iberostar 



 

Iberostar Grand Hotel Trinidad, José Martí 262, e/ Lino Pérez y Colón Tel (419) 6073
The finest and most expensive food in the town by a country mile is found in the fantastically plush restaurant at the
Grand Hotel Trinidad. The buffet dinner is the biggest treat – an opportunity to feast on international food simply
unheard of elsewhere such as beef carpaccio, salade niçoise, serrano ham, smoked salmon and tiramisú.

EASTERN CUBA

BARACOA Duaba 



 

Hotel El Castillo, Loma de Paraíso Tel (21) 451 65

Not to be confused with Finca Duaba in the nearby countryside, this restaurant in the wonderfully located Hotel El Castillo,
gazing over the town, is arguably the finest in Baracoa and one of the best places for local variations on traditional Cuban
cooking. Among these are chicken with maize and bacon or the fish and coconut speciality, Pescado a la Santa Bárbara.

GUARDALAVACA Pizza Nova 


 

Near Club Amigo Atlántico Guardalavaca hotel, Playa Guardalavaca, Banes Tel (24) 301 37
This pizza chain does a decent job of giving each of its restaurants a look and feel of its own, in this case a smart
interior and a broad half-covered outdoor terrace backing onto sweeping, lawns with trees. The usual selection of
good-quality, thin-crust pizzas is available as well as numerous pastas and a few Cuban dishes, too.

HOLGUÍN Salón 1720 




 

Frexes esq. Miró Tel (24) 468 150

This standout restaurant in a magnificently refined colonial building offers the tastiest food in Holguín, a mixture of
international and Cuban delicacies. The plush surroundings enhance the experience, as do the names of the dishes, such as
Tesoros del Mar (Sea Treasures), a lobster, shrimp and fish combination, or Tres Reyes (Three Kings) a mixed meat grill.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA La Taberna de Dolores 


Aguilera esq. Mayía Rodríguez, Plaza Dolores Tel (22) 623 913
The sombre, shadowy interior lends this place a distinct character. Downstairs is a bar and café from where a hidden
staircase leads up to the restaurant on the first floor. The balcony seats, looking down on the Plaza Dolores, are the
nicest place to sit and order from the limited pork and chicken menu. Prices are officially in pesos, but check to be sure.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA Don Antonio 



 

José Antonio Saco, e/ Porfirio Valiente y Mayía Rodríguez, Plaza Dolores Tel (22) 652 307
Classic comida criolla in the smartest restaurant on Plaza Dolores, with wide-open shutters providing views across the
square from this single-floor colonial building. Compared to its neighbours, this joint also has the best selection of
dishes. As an alternative to the usual lobster, pork and chicken offerings, there is a tasty beef casserole.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA Las Gallegas 



San Basilio no. 305 altos, e/ General Lacret y Hartmann Tel (22) 624 700
Just round the corner from Parque Céspedes is this first-floor paladar in a colonial house, now divided into
apartments. The house special is lamb in a subtle tomato sauce flavoured with spices and beer, and fried chicken and
a couple of pork variations can also be found on the menu. The best tables are squeezed onto the narrow balcony.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA Salón Tropical 



 

Fernández Marcané no. 310, e/ 9 y 10 Tel (22) 641 161

The tables at this impressive, professionally run paladar in suburban Santiago occupy a plant-filled rooftop patio from
where there are splendid views of the city; there’s also a cosy indoor dining room. The unusually long menu includes
seven different pork variations, a couple of liver dishes, fish and chicken, all cooked with care and subtly garnished.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA El Morro 




Carretera al Morro Km 7.5 Tel (22) 691 576

This outdoor restaurant, nesting on the edge of green cliffs by the fortress of the same name, has a truly spectacular
setting outside Santiago at the mouth of the bay. It’s worth eating here for the superb mountain and sea views
alone. There’s a wide choice of seafood, chicken and pork and there are 10 CUC$ three-course set meals.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA Zunzún 



 

Avenida Manduley no.159 esq. 7, Reparto Vista Alegre Viejo Tel (22) 641 528
On a broad, tree-lined avenue, in what used to be a very rich neighbourhood before the Revolution, is the 1940s mansion
housing this classy restaurant. Divided into five compact and well appointed dining rooms, the same restraint shown
in the decor characterizes the menu which has just six main courses, all original takes on traditional creole cooking.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA La Casona 


 

Meliá Santiago de Cuba, Calle M e/ 4ta y Avenida Las Américas Tel (22) 687 070
If you’re looking for good-quality international food, head for La Casona, the buffet restaurant in the city’s most luxurious
hotel. In a huge dining hall, the choice is outstanding, with everything from raw meats ready to be cooked to your taste
to a well-stocked salad bar. The buffet costs 20 CUC$, excluding drinks. You pay in advance at the hotel reception.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA La Isabelica 

 

Meliá Santiago de Cuba, Calle M e/ 4ta y Avenida Las Américas Tel (22) 687 070
An intimate and formal little comida criolla restaurant on the edge of the central garden court in the Meliá Santiago
de Cuba. Despite the high prices at the top end of the menu, you don’t actually have to break the bank to eat here.
The curried chicken breast with plum and pineapple, for example, is only just over the 10 CUC$ mark.

Phrase Book
The Spanish spoken in Cuba is basically the
same as the Castilian used in Spain with
certain deviations. As in the Spanish-speaking
countries in Central and Southern America, the
“z” is pronounced like the “s”, as is the “c”
when it comes before “e” or “i”. Among the
grammatical variations, visitors should be
aware that Cubans use Ustedes in place of
Vosotros, to say “you” when referring to more
than one person. It is notable that some
Indian, African and English words are
commonly used in present-day Cuban
Spanish. This basic phrase book includes
useful common phrases and words, and
particular attention has been paid to typically
Cuban idioms in a list of Cuban Terms.
