CUBAN FOOD
Café
Taberna
One of Old Havana's best-kept secrets
and most interesting spots. Located on Plaza Vieja in the Juan Bautista
Tavern (c.1772), this café is dedicated to the memory of the famous
singer Benny Moré. Starting at 11:00 am every day, one of
three groups plays traditional Cuban music from the 40s and 50s.
The food is inexpensive, delicious and original.
El Patio
One of the nicest places to have a
drink and enjoy lunch outside in Old Havana. Located just beside
the Cathedral.
La Mina
Is a fun place to have a lunch. You've
got to taste its great ice cream! Located at Plaza de Armas, Calle Oficio

CUISINE
Café
Oriente
A very nice
place to enjoy a dinner or lunch. The luxurious second floor is quite

With its wonderful view of the Capitol,
