Calle 17 No. 60, Vedado

(+53)7838 - 3136

Open noon-midnight daily

This painted, peach-coloured 1920s mansion has two indoor colonial-style dining rooms and an outdoor grill restaurant. Both offer healthy-sized traditional Creole dishes, which are reasonable value without being of exceptional quality. The inside dining room may leave you somewhat cold, it misses that extra factor, which is a shame since the décor, including stained-glass ceiling lamps and contemporary paintings, is impressive.

Mi Jardín LH 2

Mi Jardín used to be the only Mexican place in Havana. The place shows its Mexican colours through Mexican flags and other Mexican memorabilia in the main inside dining room. Outside in the attractive …

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 …

La Giraldilla LH 2

Opinions vary at La Giraldilla. It is next to the Macumba nightclub, which is extremely popular on nights when good groups are playing. The entire complex is very upmarket featuring acres of white mar …

La Divina Pastora LH 2+

La Divina Pastora has a wonderful setting behind huge 18th-century cannons, offering a great view back over the harbour into Old Havana. Unfortunately, that is about it. The food here struggles to rea …

Hotel Telégrafo LH 2+

Casa de la Amistad – Primavera LH 2

If you like interior design, then a table for dinner at this exquisite mansion built in the 1920’s by the wealthy Catalina Lasa is a must. The food is pretty standard fare but the house is to die for. …
