  • 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 reach mediocre. Lobster, fish, steak, pork are all bland and boring and don’t get me started on the salad. A shame since the location is great.
