Havana offers a great choice of restaurants and specialties. You will find many options ranging from open-air restaurants to grills or gourmet gourmet restaurants proposing exquisite recipes to the finest palates. Many of the restaurants are located in ancient colonial mansions, thus providing the chance of tasting their dishes in a historical environment filled with the charm of the memories enclosed by their walls. You will also find restaurants having the typical style of Cuban folklore, displaying generally half-opened thatch roofs allowing to enjoy the agreeable climate lasting all year round in this city.
In Havana, even though there are restaurants in mostly every neighborhood, one can consider several zones where there is a higher concentration of them.
Old Havana where you can discover the narrow historical streets and at the same time make a stop to have lunch or dinner in an ancient plaza like those of the Cathedral or the Capitanes Generales. You may also savor excellent recipes in quite renowned restaurants such as La Bodeguita del Medio and The Floridita (both frequented a few decades ago by Ernest Hemingway).
The Vedado, a very extended, recent, and dynamic neighborhood, mostly during the evening, where a great deal of restaurants, near cabarets and bars, provide us with their varied offers. You may have dinner enjoying a splendid panorama from above the lighted city at the La Torre restaurant, savor the highly varied dishes of La Casona de 17, or, submerged in a 19th Century environment, dream of past splendors at the Restaurant 1830 having gardens facing the sea.
Miramar, having a lower density, but a very selected offer and a quiet and charming ambiance, owing to the beauty of the old mansions, dating back to the beginning of the last century, that characterize this part of Havana. Good restaurants are not hard to find; examples are Don Cangrejo, facing the ocean and specialized in seafood; the shopping and restaurant center Dos Gardenias housing three restaurants: an Italian one, an Asian one, and a Caribbean grilland just by its side the famous El Aljibe restaurant, specialized in cuban cuisine. In Miramar, you will also find a Japanese restaurant: El Tocororo and the Bistrot Berlin,
serving its specialty german traditional cuisine.
