COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE
Havana has many restaurants offering a variety of international cuisine. But I wanted to focus on the eateries that offered typical Cuban food. Herein is a curated list of the best places to have a classic Cuban meal in a Havana restaurant.
The decorations are eclectic and include a Santeria (local Afro-Cuban religion) altar. The food in Paladar San Cristobal can also tend towards the eclectic but solid Cuban fare is the standard. We had “chilindron de chivo” (goat stew). The best I’ve ever tasted.
You can have a drink and snacks on the roof top without having dinner. But do try to have a meal here. The food is exceptional. Some say it’s the best restaurant in Havana. It’s a little on the pricy side but worth it for the experience.
This wonderful little paladar of Cuban culinary treasures sits right smack in the middle of Old Havana on a side street off Plaza de la Catedral (Cathedral Square) next to what is perhaps the most iconic sight in all Havana, the Cathedral.
The food is classic Cuban at its core but it flares up to offer innovative creations around seafood and traditional dishes. It is an explosion of flavors, colors and aromas in a unique and unforgetable venue.
The paladar offers reasonably priced “menu del dia,” or daily specials at lunch time. They frequently have musicians roaming the various dining rooms. The food is classic Cuban with all the traditional trimmings.
