Havana Palidares

[1LegLance]

Let's start some chatter on the places to eat in Havana....

For me the last couple of trips we have had a Casa Particular near La Cathedral....it is in Veradero, not far from Melia Cohiba. I will post up a pic of the biz card with the address.

If you are giving a taxi guy directions then just say Linea "e" Ocho (8) it is a orange and red house/resturant.

The food is Italian-ish with plenty of pasta and some cuban classics. Great prices at around $5-$7cuc for anything, drinks are $1.20cuc and deserts are fantastic. Oh and they do breakfast, lunch and dinner.

A real gem we found this last trip was El Zaguan in Old Havana near the Police Fort. Best food we had with Lamb in Rosemary & honey, or Lamb in Wine....for $7cuc.

And the pastry place next door was super good.

First night in Havana last November we went to Otramenera (1810 Avenida 35, near Casa de la Musica de Miramar). Fantastic place and great service. Though, don't drink the Cognac as Nate did. You'd be better off drinking paint stripper!

Al Carbon near the Museo de Revolucion. Suckling pig. juicy. crackling. Do not miss.

This thread is awesome! Heading to Havana on Friday and am looking forward to trying out some of these places...or any other recommendations!

The best resource in an app form is called Ala Mesa on the AppStore.  Every restaurant I picked from this app was pretty good.  I'm unsure if they have an android version.

Is this app still a reliable resource for drinks and good eats?  Thanks!

Last few times I've checked it seems to be being updated.
