The best Cuban restaurants Caraïbes

For the quality of its cuisine, the variety of its formulas and its buffet at 7 CUC, much more economical. Specialities (cordon chicken, supreme chicken, pork and ox in oven with ham) and seasonal fruit.

It was the location of the famous film Fresa y Chocolate, directed in 1993 by the Cuban director Gutierrez Alea, and since 1996 it has been one of the best paladaresin the city, located on the third floor of this beautiful, old palace with a slightly surreal atmosphere. Don't miss the many photos of celebrities who have dined there: Mick Jagger, Madonna and Sting... On the plate, nuevo cuban at : a traditional Cuban cuisine"exoticized" by a touch of new French, Spanish, Mexican cuisine... Unique !

The restaurant (only for lunch) is installed in a cave in the middle of nature. There is also a discotheque (from 10 pm to 4 am) and a bar (try the excellent Ochun cocktail). During lunch, you will be treated to live Afro-Cuban music. During the day, you can visit the cave that once housed runaway slaves, called cimarrones, through a tunnel whose entrance is located near the restaurant.

El Palatino Snack Bar is a fast food restaurant located in the central square - Parque José Martí - in the oldest building in the city! The setting is simply superb and the mojitos are excellent. You can also taste other cocktails very well made as well as small coffees rather well made. If some tourists can appear in the landscape from time to time, the atmosphere remains quite local. It is not rare that bands come to liven up the place during the day.

This is one of the most successful drops in the world.

You will install in the room, which gives on the still very lively Plaza del Cristo, or in the patio. Typical Cuban dishes (try chicken salad, a treat!), accompanied by a good beer (Crystal or Bucanero). Digestion also facilitated after the absorption of the excellent mojito (2 CUC), much cheaper than the Bodeguita del Medio. Music groups frequently occur.

Antonio, a very friendly owner, multiplies passions. A football fan, including Atletic Bilbao, he also collects tickets from all over the world, including those issued prior to the Cuban revolution. The staff were friendly and helpful. Attention: Don't confuse this restaurant with the same name located at the corner of Calle Empedrado and Calle Mercaderes, Calle Ignacio, because it is much less good!

In 1513, the Franciscan father Juan de Těšín celebrated on this street the first Christmas mass of the city. Today the building is detached from the style of the neighborhood thanks to its tiles and paintings. Stylish frame and very well-kept tables. For the little story, the restaurant bears the name of the tree el Jigüe, a great tree that was in front of the restaurant and this location well before the restaurant's existence… But this tree was destroyed by the 2012 cyclone, another was planted in the meantime but it's smaller.

Excellent value for money and good value for money. We enjoy as much as we have on the base that the house, a former colonial residence, which has kept its stamp and a beautiful patio.

Welcome to Factoria Plaza Vieja! A particularly nice terrace and interior for this elegant brasserie with its yellow façade and beautiful Spanish arches, overlooking Plaza Vieja. Choose between fast food at low prices - good tapas and hearty burgers - or more solid and well-cooked dishes, especially grills. Beer lovers, you'll be in heaven, because they are home-made! The mere sight of the tanks is enough to convince you.

Set in the walls of a charming wooden house dating back to 1879, it is probably one of the most famous addresses, not so much for its kitchen, frankly average or even disappointing, as for the pretty friendly frame (pleasant patio). Las Delicias of Don Tomás, a house specialty, would like to be faithful to the Spanish paella. This is only a very distant cousin… Side drinks try the Trapiche made with rum, pineapple juice and honey.

Restaurant where you pay in national currency. Ideal for tight budgets.

Economical and plentiful cuisine. The location is very small, at the eastern exit of the city. Convenient for those who take the road towards Camagüey.

The interior patio, very well decorated, and flowery, provides all the comfort necessary to taste Cuban cuisine in the shade and quiet. The attractive prices of this restaurant make it one of the best addresses of the historic district.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The staff were friendly and helpful. For the rest, gourmets will prefer the following address more original but far more eccentric.

This is not the luxury, far from it, but this restaurant open on the street can prove useful when it comes to dragging a little trough. The habitués pay in national currency, but your CUC will be accepted.

Restaurant in one of the only colonial residences of the city dating from the late th century. In its beautiful patio, the house has a chic mind. The card is rather average. Prices are indicated in national currency and not in CUC. Be careful to pay your meal to the equivalent of what is indicated on the Cuban peso card.
