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 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.
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.
I heard about how good it was and tried to visit a couple of times but the line out the door was always a deterrent. Finally, I made it and ate at the downstairs section. I had pork, yuca (a starchy tuber drenched in garlic) and an avocado salad. It was exceptional.
El Biky is a restaurant, cafeteria, bakery and bar taking up the entire street and two floors. The food is very good, the prices are reasonable -but not dirt cheap- and the service is attentive.
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.
