1830
Inaugurated in the Spring of 2001, this restaurant will be one of the best in Havana again. For this reason, there have been carried out a thorough rehabilitation of its old building and careful decoration work. The management has been given to the French chef Pierre L´Hereux who has dedicated the ground floor halls to the constitution of a, so to speak, new Cuban cuisine place and the first floor to a more general kind of cuisine. The restaurant is expensive, though acceptable, due to the great quality of its products and the very attentive service.

Abanico de Cristal (El)

It is the luxurious Meliá Cohiba Restaurant. Interior space was designed with grace and intelligence. Illumination and decoration objetcs are nice and inviting. Chef Giusseppe Kindelán suggests a menu with rices and the special vegetable paella. Wine and liquors selection adequate. It is one of the best places to enjoy a good meal in Havana City.

Albert´s Paladar

Restored an re-opened on december 2000, this simple paladar, settled in a typical street of the Los Sitios district, in Centro Habana, it offers one of the most perfect examples of the clasical cuban food which can be found in the town. The chef Gaspar Ferrer and his family, in the kitchen, and Albert, nice and efficent, at the dinning-room, create a solid and well coordinate team. Very good prices.
Aljibe (El )
This popular tourist restaurant is a pleasant surprise. The fixed-price pollo asado El Ajibe is the way to go here. Served all-you-can-eat family-style with white rice, black beans, fried plantain, french fries, and salad, the slow-roasted chicken comes in a wonderful, slightly sweet-and-sour garlic mojo that goes well over the rice.

This place serves busloads of people on a regular basis and despite the assembly-line efficiency of the operation, you can still enjoy the pleasant open-air restaurant, with its tall, steeply pitched thatch roof and rustic red tile floors. Sure there are a handful of meat and seafood options, but trust me, stick to the house specialty.

 

Al Medina
Of the limited number of restaurants in Havana specialising in Middle Eastern cuisine, this is probably the most famous. Although the menu is limited, the main courses and side dishes are all prepared quite traditionally, and prices are relatively low. The walls of the inner dining room are bare except for their lamps; and in general, the decoration of the whole establishment is simple, and generally makes use of the building’s features such as arches, the wood of the passageways and the roof.

Even though surroundings are somewhat dilapidated, the atmosphere of the inner courtyard, with its plants, birdcages and rugs, is quite pleasant. At the entrance door, a porter in traditional costume conducts diners into the restaurant. Most of the dishes are based on chicken, beef, fish and seafood, and there are popular plates such as Tadjin and Houmous.

Ambos Mundos Bar

The elegant furniture, piano music, marble walls and floor help create an intimate and relaxed atmosphere at this restored cafe. Soft lighting makes this the ideal romantic hangout at night. The establishment offers a selection of spirits, beers, light meals and traditional Cuban cooking. Beverages include a house cocktail known as the “Ambos Mundos, the daiquiri and Cuban mojitos, all at a cost of CUC 2.50. Frequented by Earnest Hemingway during his first stay in Cuba during the 1930s, this establishment has since become an obligatory haunt of writers and artists.

Amelia

Located off the central plaza of a modern business complex, this place offers good food at great prices--a rarity in Havana, and even more so in Miramar. Despite the pretense of its postmodern decor, this restaurant is really a simple neighborhood cafe in an unlikely setting. During the day, you can dine alfresco at one of the faux-marble tables on the plaza, or take a seat indoors in the well-lit and lively main dining room. The cerdo criolla is a good-size portion of thin, tender pork slices served in a tasty mojo. The fresh fish filet comes in a lemon and parsley sauce.

At night the bar and attached cigar bar get going, with a good selection of call liquors and top-shelf stogies.

Aries Paladar

Medium priced Paladar famous about their lobster. Close to many hotels and offices.

Bambú (El)

Situated in the outskirt of the city, the Ecorestaurant is next to the Japanese Park, in the National Botanical Garden. The pioneer among the vegetarian restaurant in Havana City is opened Wednesday through Sunday at lunch time only. Buffet table offers salads, mushrooms, rices, vegetable pizzas and natural juices. Although it is far from the city centre, they already have many regular diners.

Barco (El) Paladar

Set in Cojímar, a charming seashore town, 5 km away from the city center.It is next to Cojímar Castle and the sea. Rustic paladar with specialized fish offer.

Barracón (El)

It is one of the most reliable restaurant to taste creole food. It lost some charm after the hotel renovation, but the food is still delicious. We recommend the fried beef and jerked beef dishes.

Barrio Chino

Havana has an active Chinese community which has spawned a good number of restaurants specialized in traditional Chinese cuisine. These private, family-owned establishments tend to be excellent in both quality and price, offering expeditious service to their customers. Diners can enjoy a full meal–apart from some of the more exotic choices on the menu–that will include a bowl of soup, fried rice, the main course and a drink, for an average of CUC 4. Credit card acceptance varies.

Baturro (El)

It lies in the less tourist zone of Old havana. This wide location has a Spanish tavern style. The place should be of better use. Poor menu and tasteless food. Waiters and other workers seem to be vegetating, waiting for incentive.

Bellomar

Bistro Berlin

Situated in the Panorama hotel, first managed by the German organisation LTI and since 2004 by the Maritim chain. A modern restaurant, specialized in German kitchen (hard to find in Cuba) with a huge variety of menus based on sausages and other tasteful, more refined dishes. A popular place since its very first day.

Bistrot (El )

Bodegón Criollo (El )

A couple of huge wine casks hanging over the door mark the entrance to this, the principal restaurant at the Fortaleza la Cabaña complex. The dining room occupies a long, wide, former storage room in the old fortress, with arched ceilings and brick floors. A small bar dominates a much smaller adjacent room. The food is simple and filling. I recommend the grillada críolla, which is a mixed plate of grilled beef, chicken, and pork served with moros y cristianos (black beans and rice). The grilled lobster is a good choice as well. Make a reservation for around 7pm, if you want to eat and be out in time to snag a good spot for the nightly cañonazo ceremony. The Fortaleza la Cabaña complex is popular with Cubans and actually has several restaurants--you might want to try the nearby "La Fortaleza," a peso restaurant that serves similar and slightly less expensive food in a much less formal setting.

Bodegón Onda

It lies in El Comendador Inn. Nice informal ambience with good variety of appetizers and tidbits served on skewers. It is an important meeting center for Spanish people since its opening few months ago. Genuine spanish cuisine.
Bodeguita Del Medio (La)
The "B del M," as it's also known, oozes history and suffers from over popularity. Still, it is pretty much a must-visit for any first time trip to Havana. The collage of famous photos and signatures that crowd the walls here are legend. You'll definitely want a reservation, although even with a reservation, you'll probably end up waiting for a table--this place is just that popular. Tradition would have you start things off with a mojito, although the mojitos here are notoriously weak. Definitely order one with 3- or 5-year old añejo rum if you plan on enjoying it. The food--simple and well-prepared Cuban dishes--is pretty good.

The slow-roasted pork is my favorite, although the ropa vieja (shredded beef) gives it a run for its money. No matter what you order, make sure you have it served with plenty of yuca with mojo and the arroz morro, black beans with rice. This place is crowded and rowdy, so don't come expecting anything less.

Brocal (El)

One of our favorite places in Guanabo. Excellent mexican food and very good fish and seafood are served in a charming wooden house. Recently opened, many people visit the place. Reasonable prices and good service are offered.

Buganvil (El)

In the residential district of Siboney, this paladar with shape and decoration of a country hut serves a good criolla food. Very well cooked the stuffed croutons, the smoked loin and the brillance congrí. A very success place; you should reserve. Good prices.

Bulerías Restaurante (Las)

Not only found right in the centre of the Vedado district, near the corner of 23 and L streets, but also somewhere with an extremely relaxed and informal ambience. Though often busy, there are plenty of tables in the dining area, so finding a place is never a problem. Recorded background music plays during the day, and a live band in the evenings. Furniture consists of rustic-looking tables and chairs and some wine barrels, which together with the low ceiling and bullfighting memorabilia on the walls (including the head of a bull itself) make the restaurant look like a typical Spanish tavern.

Lighting is low and the establishment is spacious, all helping if you need some privacy. The menu specialises in Spanish cuisine, with dishes based on beans, ham and cod, along with other plates inspired by the Cuban kitchen: house speciality, the chicken-based “Pollo Bulerías. To drink there is a choice of cocktails, spirits and beers.
 

Burgi

Burgi is probably one of the best fast food chains in Cuba. Meals are served quickly by Cuban standards, and you should never have to queue for more than five minutes, unlike other restaurants, where a 30 to 40 minute wait is the norm. A light snack accompanied by a drink comes to around CUC 2, and if you are looking for a decent hamburger, look no further. Decoration is basic and casual, with plastic tables placed in an outdoor area. Along with the aforementioned burgers, they also serve dishes such as hot dogs and fried chicken, and a variety of soft drinks including Coca-Cola, orange juice and milk shakes.

Cactus (Los)

Beautiful casa and a great local food but not fast

Café La Mina

This popular place has a privileged location right on the Plaza de Armas. There's covered seating in three separate patios, with ferns and arbors and caged parakeets providing additional atmosphere, as well several dining rooms spread through the interior of a couple of connected buildings. The food is typical and acceptable tourist fare. The combo Caribeña La Mina is a sauté of chunks of chicken, pork, and shrimp in a tasty sauce with a hint of rum. The Traditional Cuban Combo comes with a mojito, black beans and rice, some grilled pork in mojo, and dessert. This is a good place to while away a few hours midday, or to take a break while walking around Habana Vieja.

Café del Oriente

Thanks to its luxuriously decorated dining rooms, with their mirrors and antique paintings, this restaurant offers the conscientious diner a taste of nineteen-fifties, pre-revolutionary Havana. However, decor is not everything, for in the best restaurants service and presentation of dishes also need to reach high standards, which this establishment fulfils handsomely. The atmosphere is intimate, aided in part by the use of candle light and the dark tones of the surroundings. There is a full à la carte international menu that includes a number of Cuban dishes: these last should both please and surprise. And to accompany your meal, there is also a fine selection of wines.
Café Taberna (Cafe Beny More)
This lively joint is housed in a beautifully restored 18th-century building with high ceilings, just off the Plaza Vieja. Photos of Beny Moré and other popular mambo acts adorn the walls, and there's a long bar with an impressive wall of booze stacked behind it. The food is standard and uninspired fare, but this is one of the few places in Habana Vieja that won't break your bank for a simple meal. The outdoor seating seems like an afterthought, and feels a little too far removed from the action and ambience.
 

Cafetería La Calesa

It is quite unusual to find a cafeteria and bar operating in the same establishment, but here you have it, right in the heart of Havana. There is a good feeling about the place, aided by the live music performances, in a small, simply decorated area, furnished with wooden tables and chairs. On the food side there is an assortment of burgers, sandwiches and other like snacks; cigarettes are also available. The bar is normally stocked with excellent local rum and serves a variety of cocktails.

Cafeteria El Portal

The El Patio restaurant complex has a handful of dining options, and this is the only one really worth a visit. With seating on the large covered patio, and a couple dozen small tables set right on the Plaza de la Catedral, it's hard to find a spot with more character in Habana Vieja. The menu is small, but this place is big on atmosphere. The only real splurge here is the lobster and shrimp medallions in a light vinaigrette, which, although small, is a decent deal at CUC 10. If you're hungrier, you can have a Cuban sandwich or a small steak, both of which will fill you up and come with french fries. The mojitos here are acceptable and will run you CUC 3. The outdoor tables start getting some shade around 2pm, and all night long they provide wonderful views of the Cathedral's lighted bell towers. This is a great spot for a drink and light meal day or night.

Cafetería del Teatro Karl Marx

This huge restaurant-cafeteria, situated in the building of the Karl Marx theatre, has been inaugurated in 2004. Its menu, the fast food type, provides an assorted selection of sandwiches, hamburgers, pizzas, scrambled eggs, tortillas and some meat dishes. Quality is quite good. Ideal for a quick snack at any time of the day. It is open non-stop during day and night time. Decoration, light and sound are well chosen. Friendly prices!

Caribeño (El)

Serving the public since the 1940s, this restaurant has a limited menu but with the advantage that you can eat cheaply and well. In spite of the name, you are more likely to find Cuban and international food than genuine Caribbean delicacies. The house specialises in chicken dishes, such as the popular “Pollo Cordon Bleu. Beverages include a selection of beers, spirits and soft drinks, and everything is charged in Cuban pesos. On Fridays and Saturdays, from 8pm until midnight, there is a cabaret show called “El Rincón de la Mora, performed by local singers, comedians and musicians.

Carmelo

Inaugurated in april 2002, this establishment has specialized in vegeterian meals and has been a great success. Cuban people crowd it. As for the tourists, they find this restaurant cheap because prices are established in the national currency. It has a very good location too, next to the theatre "Teatro Amadeo Roldán".

Casa de Castilla y León (La)

In this regional Spanish house, there are meals of an acceptable quality and with cheap prices. It is easy to find a vacant table because the place is not very-well known, so take adavantage of it.

Casa de la Amistad

Beautiful nicely decorated restaurant in Vedado. Best to call before you go there. Lots of Cubans use this place for the party of the celebration of the 15th birthday.

Casa de Olga (La)

Located in the Bahía district, far from the centre, it has been established as a success paladar among the public, specially the cubans who come from all points of the town. The cookers, Royble and El Guajiro, propose a right criolla menu in which the mutton in wine, the tasajo of mutton and the smoked chiken outstand.

Casa Paladar (La)

Casona de 17 (La)
Before they were called Don Agamenón. This beautiful building is located near the Malecon. The type of cooking is difficult to define. Their price are for this area ok ... ot cheap not expensive

Castillo de Farnés (El)

A commemorative plaque on the corner of Monserrate and Obrapía testifies to the age of this restaurant –founded in 1896– where you can certainly find most of the more typical plates from the Iberian peninsula. However, food is not everything, which is why the surroundings are decorated in the best Spanish tradition, aided by a group of musicians who perform well-known songs from Spain. This restaurant is not only one of the oldest in the city, it is also one of the most popular, which is why it is normally full.

The walls still have a colonial air about them, and are adorned with Spanish paintings, posters of famous bullfighters and scarves hanging from racks. All the more typical Spanish dishes are available, including “fabada which is a type of stew based on pork and beans, and “cocido that includes chickpeas and pork, among other ingredients.

Cecilia (La)

This restaurant is named after the novel La Cecilia by Cuban author Cirilo Valverde and it offers a great selection of traditional dishes. It is located in the exclusive Miramar area. There is a good selection of fine wines and an increasingly popular cabaret. The food is superb and carefully prepared with a menu consisting principally of sea food and traditional creole dishes such as Congrí rice and roast suckling pig. The atmosphere is peaceful, and the restaurant is surrounded by tropical plants. At the back there is a rustic wooden hut to provide the appropriate setting for the traditional Creole cuisine.

Centro Cultural Habana (Breakfast & Brunch)

The pleasant Havana Arts Centre (Centro Cultural Habana) is a good place to buy Cuban music tapes, souvenirs, handicrafts, books about the island and postcards. You may take a break in their small cafeteria, which serves a selection of tasty sandwiches, desserts and soft drinks. This is the meeting place for Havana artists and an arts gallery for young talents to exhibit their latest work. The centre also includes a photocopying service. All items are charged for in CUC convertible pesos. Cuban pesos are not accepted.

Chansonnier (Le)

This long-standing (although itinerant) paladar serves French-inspired criolla cuisine, in a homey setting. High ceilings, antique clocks, and a huge crystal chandelier give this place plenty of charm. Start things off with some of the homemade paté or eggplant gratin. The chicken in mushroom sauce and Dijon pork chop are both good, but if you want something special get the duck in a red wine-and-olive sauce.

There's a small selection of fairly priced French and Spanish wines. There are only five tables here in their somewhat new digs, but when I last visited the owner was talking about moving to an even bigger house nearby, and maybe adding lunch.

Chan Li Po

Opened in 2002.All the restaurants in the Chinese district usually prepare unsophisticated and economic food but this is one of those that offer the most quality. From its menu you can choose between Chinese, Cuban and Italian specialities but we suggest you to order fish or the fine “Pizza de camarones”. It also offers a correct selection of cocktails and a very personalized service which we appreciate.

Cineccittá

Since the 1960s this restaurant has been named after an important Italian cinema school, and it uses the same theme in all its publicity material. Probably one of the best restaurants in the Vedado district that charges in local pesos, it offers a wide selection of Italian food. There is a bar with footstools at the back, or if you wish, you may sit at one of the tables outside the front entrance, separated from the street by plant boxes. Not surprisingly, the indoor decoration is also inspired by the world of cinema, and the proximity to the Cinemateca (Cuban Film Institute), with collages of famous faces from the film world. On the menu there is a choice of pizzas, lasagnes, cannelloni, spaghetti and other Italian dishes, along with cocktails, spirits, beers and locally produced soft drink.

Club Habana - El Gourmet

Fancy Restaurant of the exclusive Club Havana. No need to be a member; people pay to enter the club. The International menu offers a variety of dishes. Food preparation is not good maybe because diners are few. Prices are not low nor high as the sky.

Cochinito (El)

This is one of the more popular restaurants in the Vedado district, offering customers a choice of cafeteria, barbecue and restaurant service. The dining room is spacious, and there are also tables on the porch and patio where you can enjoy your meal under the shade of trees. The menu offers a good selection of traditional Cuban dishes, normally based on chicken and pork cooked in various ways and accompanied by different garnishes and fresh salads. The chefs also prepare an excellent fricassee, as well as all sorts of typical desserts. To drink, there is a choice of beers, spirits, soft drinks and fruit juice. Meals are charged in Cuban pesos, and are generally good value.

Cocina de Lilliam (La)

The elegant softly lit outdoor garden seating here would be enough to recommend this family-run paladar, but the food's excellent as well. Lilliam Domínguez has a deft touch. Try the garbanzo, ham, and onion appetizer, and then opt for a piece of fresh fish, usually grouper or snapper, simply grilled. The menu varies, but if they've got it, order the traditional ropa vieja, made with lamb here instead of the traditional beef. This place is getting quite popular so reservations are essential.

Comedor de Aguiar

It is a classic and luxurios Restaurant in The Nacional Hotel. An attractive international menu, an efficient service and a place to relax is offered. Prices are too high.

Comodoro Grill

Located on the ground floor of Hotel Comodoro, this restaurant does not receive many people and it is a pity because the cuisine is good, especially meat, and the decoration is smart, inviting to relaxation. It is worth being more visited.

Conejito (El)

The name means "little rabbit," but there's more than just a little bit of rabbit on the menu here: grilled, baked, a la criolla, or ali oli (in garlic mojo, or gravy) are just some of the treatments our furry friend gets. Not to mention rabbit sausage, rabbit terrine, and rabbit ham for starters. Almost all the rabbit dishes are reasonably priced at under CUC7. Avoid the house specialty, rabbit financiera, which comes in a busy yet bland sauce, and stick to simpler preparations.

There are also more traditional meat and seafood options, but I'd go with the bunny. The place is modeled on an English Tudor pub, with brick walls and heavy dark interior beams. There's a small attached bar that is usually pretty quiet.

Cubanito (El)

In this nice hut with wood, cane and palm tree roof,"El Cubanito" it is elaborated a delicious Italian and Native food. They offer several kind of meats, among them we have the "Suprema de pollo". Its weakness, the fishes, very few. The treatment is very warm.

Cubano (El)

Opened in 2002, this complex counts with several restaurants, grill and bar. A nice place, good food and modest prices. For its being near to the beaches its adequate for those who go to take sun baths. It is usually very crowded and lively.
