Best Restaurants in Cuba

Local Recommendations from our My Guide Cuba team

Change is rippling through Cuba’s dining scene. The island’s cuisine has long suffered a dismal reputation, which is unsurprising after the food-rationing days of the Special Period. But thanks to a recent reversal of the laws prohibiting private businesses, there’s been an explosion of paladares (home-run restaurants) building up a buzz around “nouveau Cuban” cuisine. Havana leads the charge, offering everything from fine dining in palatial old apartments to hipster tapas bars.

Habana Retro

Habana Retro

Stylish restaurant of the 50s, with beautiful lamps that will make you shine at night. If today is the day you need a different breakfast come to our restaurant, we assure you that your day will start well up! You can sit comfortably and watch the passers-by pass through one of the most central avenues in Havana.

5 senses

5 senses

Beautiful interior, excellent service, top quality ingredients and a menu composed with an idea and an adequate value for money. All this makes 5 Senses the best restaurant in Havana, we think. At least of those we've been eating so far. The menu is a combination of local ingredients, but with Caribbean style and American modernity.

Havana Blues

Havana Blues

A sui generis site throughout its concept. The house of the Vedado that it occupies recreates the movie Habana Blues and, between the city, the blue, the sea and the music it is possible to taste a special meal and be surprised when an actor or actress, in addition to serving him, unfolds into a monologue, a poem, a fragment of a play or a song.

St. Pauli

St. Pauli

A place where night and day come together combining classic and modern, Cuban and international cuisine. Recreating the style of the St. Pauli neighborhood of the city of Hamburg, with heady comfort, high professionalism and a delicious flavor. Playing with the art of cooking and excellence in cocktails, designed for the most exquisite palates and the most demanding tastes, we have the first and only objective of customer satisfaction.

Casa Miglis

Casa Miglis

Unless you're a very committed foodie, we're guessing that you've probably not tried Swedish-Cuban fusion food. Well lucky you, here's your chance. This place is owned by a Swedish music video director and the menu is just as eccentric as the decor (chairs on the walls propping up nicknacks and a stage made of old Coca Cola ads). Have a crack at the traditional Swedish meatballs with lingon berries.
