Calle 19 No. 909, entre 6 y 8, Vedado

(+53)7832 - 2699

Open noon-midnight

This friendly paladar hides out in a newly painted but crumbling Vedado building. The place itself has a revamp in 2011 and now is a lot more upmarket than in the past. The terrace up top is huge done in the style of a ranchon and offers a pleasant ambience for dinner.

Try the huge breaded pork schnitzel (CUC 5). Traditional Creole dishes abound in hearty, tasty portions.

Casa Española LH 2

What do you do with an old castle in the middle or Miramar? Turn it into a restaurant of course. This is at least easy to find driving down 7ma (7th Ave.). This house is a medieval parody built in the …

1830 Restaurant LH 2

I have been to a few parties at 1830 where it would be fair to say that ‘old-world opulence meets Hollywood glamour in this eclectic-style house’. Unfortunately, on an ordinary night, this is simply n …

La Tasquita LH 2+

This is a classic old-school Cuban paladar, which offers authentic charm in a Cuban kitsch Centro Habana way. Although some of the dishes are ridiculously overpriced (CUC 8-12), the owner is lovely, w …
