where to eat in Havana, we want you to discover what makes its cuisine so special. Cuban food is the result of centuries of fusion between African, Spanish, indigenous and Caribbean cultures. Here, the dishes are not spicy, but they are full of flavour:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rice and beans<\/strong>. The star side dish. Moros y cristianos, with black beans, or congri, with red beans, are on almost every menu.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stewed meats and roast pork<\/strong>. Dishes such as ropa vieja, lech\u00f3n criollo or picadillo a la habanera are also classics that you must try.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tropical tubers<\/strong>. Yuca con mojo, sweet potato and fried plantain are absolutely essential.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seasonal fruits<\/strong>. Mango, papaya and guava are commonly used in juices, desserts and even savoury dishes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seasoning is very simple<\/strong>. Dishes contain very few spices, but are prepared with a lot of personality. Garlic, onion, cumin and bay leaves are the basis of almost everything.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-top-10-restaurants-in-havana-nbsp-cuba\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top-10-restaurants-in-Havana-Cuba\"><\/span><strong>Top 10 restaurants in Havana&nbsp;<\/strong>Cuba<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you ready to discover the best places to eat in Havana? Here is our selection of the 10 most recommended places. We also include approximate price ranges, signature dishes you should order and other practical tips. At each of these restaurants, you can try some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/cuba\/typical-cuban-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10 typical Cuban dishes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-paladar-de-dona-eutimia\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paladar-de-Dona-Eutimia\"><\/span><strong>Paladar de Do\u00f1a Eutimia<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Callej\u00f3n del Chorro, Old Havana<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Average price: 8\u201315 USD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Located on Callej\u00f3n del Chorro, in Old Havana, and just a few steps from the Cathedral, it is one of the <strong>essential places to eat in the city<\/strong>. A very family-run establishment offering one of the most authentic experiences in the capital. The approximate price per person is around 8\u201315 dollars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you can try one of the <strong>best ropas viejas in Cuba<\/strong>, as well as black beans, rice and fried ripe plantains. The croquettes and yuca with mojo sauce are also very popular. The restaurant is small, cosy and decorated in a traditional style. The service is very friendly, although sometimes a little slow. If you are looking for restaurants in Havana with soul, this is the place for you. We recommend booking in advance, even during the week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"1710\" data-attachment-id=\"33178\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/cuba\/restaurants-havana-cuba\/attachment\/cocteleria-cuban-color\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cocteleria-cuban-color-scaled.webp?fit=1707%2C2560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1707,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cocteleria-cuban-color\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cocteleria-cuban-color-scaled.webp?fit=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cocteleria-cuban-color-scaled.webp?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cocteleria-cuban-color-scaled.webp?resize=1140%2C1710&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"cuban cocktel\" class=\"wp-image-33178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cocteleria-cuban-color-scaled.webp?w=1707&amp;ssl=1 1707w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cocteleria-cuban-color-scaled.webp?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cocteleria-cuban-color-scaled.webp?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cocteleria-cuban-color-scaled.webp?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cocteleria-cuban-color-scaled.webp?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cocteleria-cuban-color-scaled.webp?resize=1365%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1365w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cocteleria-cuban-color-scaled.webp?resize=1140%2C1710&amp;ssl=1 1140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cocteleria-cuban-color-scaled.webp?resize=1920%2C2880&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-el-cafe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"El-Cafe\"><\/span><strong>El Caf\u00e9<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Amargura 358, Old Havana<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Average price: 6\u201312 USD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>El Caf\u00e9 is a very quiet and charming place to eat in Havana at lunchtime. A somewhat hidden gem (located at 358 Amargura Street in Old Havana) in the heart of the old town, but away from the hustle and bustle. You can try brunch, avocado toast, scrambled eggs, the best Cuban coffee and fresh juices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also some very interesting vegan and vegetarian options, which is not very common among restaurants in Havana. The atmosphere is very relaxed at any time of day, making it ideal for a short break while strolling through the city centre. The outdoor tables, although very popular, are very pleasant during the early hours of the day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you already know when to go to Cuba? Here&#8217;s a guide to the <a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/cuba\/best-time-visit-cuba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best time to travel to Cuba: tips and dates<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-la-guarida-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"La-Guarida\"><\/span><strong>La Guarida&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Concordia 418, Centro Habana<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Average price: \u00a320\u2013\u00a335<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is probably one of the <strong>most famous restaurants in Havana<\/strong> <strong>Cuba<\/strong>, both for its food and its rich history. In fact, the film Fresa y Chocolate was shot here, and since then it has been visited by people from all over the world. You can find it at 418 Concordia Street, right in the city centre, and prices range from \u00a320 to \u00a335 per person.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the menu, you&#8217;ll find an <strong>exquisite combination of gourmet dishes and local products<\/strong>. Seared tuna, lamb in wine sauce and lobster are some of their specialities. Don&#8217;t forget to visit the terrace, which offers beautiful views of the city. So, if you&#8217;re wondering where to eat in Havana for a special occasion, this is the place, although you&#8217;ll need to book several days in advance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-el-del-frente-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"El-del-Frente\"><\/span><strong>El del Frente&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>O\u2019Reilly 303, Old Havana<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Average price: 12\u201320 USD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I like this restaurant in the Cuban capital for its <strong>modern and creative character<\/strong>. It also has a spectacular terrace, a great atmosphere and excellent cocktails for after your meal. If you want to check it out, head to Calle O&#8217;Reilly 303, in the heart of Old Havana, an ideal location for after shopping in the city.

This restaurant is completely different from what you would normally find in this city. Its menu is very varied and usually offers inexpensive, generous and tasty dishes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most interesting dishes here are the fried rice, sweet and sour ribs, soups and stir-fried vegetables. The portions are so generous that most customers share dishes. It may not be one of the most touristy restaurants in Havana, but it is one of the most popular with locals. The best option if you are tired of eating only rice and pork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-el-cocinero-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"El-Cocinero\"><\/span><strong>El Cocinero&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Calle 26, Vedado (next to the Cuban Art Factory)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Average price: 15\u201325 USD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we&#8217;ll end with El Cocinero, a restaurant in Havana that&#8217;s ideal for eating before or after visiting the <strong>Cuban Art Factory<\/strong> (it&#8217;s right next door). It also has one of the most beautiful terraces in the city, so you&#8217;ll enjoy it twice as much.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cuisine is contemporary and incorporates many local ingredients. Seared tuna, handmade pasta and grilled meats are the specialities. The menu can be accompanied by an excellent wine list. This is undoubtedly one of the restaurants in Havana with the best combination of atmosphere, flavour and visual experience.

They tend to have a wide variety of dishes, fresh produce and friendly, family service. If you&#8217;re wondering where to eat in Havana for a more authentic flavour, go for this type of establishment. Many of them are in private homes and offer traditional, charming dishes at excellent prices.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1753316556718\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How much does it cost to eat in Havana as a tourist?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It depends on the type of restaurant, but in general you can eat well for between 8 and 25 USD per person. In the simplest places, the average price is around 10 USD, while in more modern places (La Guardia or El Cocinero), the cost can exceed 20-30 USD. El Chanchullero or El Caf\u00e9 are the best options from a budget point of view.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1753316557485\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Are there vegetarian or vegan options in restaurants in Havana Cuba?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, although they are more limited. Some restaurants in the city (El Caf\u00e9, Sibarita Habana or El Shamuskiao) offer vegetarian and vegan options on their menus. However, we recommend asking in advance, as most traditional dishes include meat or animal broth. You can also find fresh juices, rice with vegetables and fresh salads on almost all menus.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1753316558202\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Is it necessary to book in advance at the most popular restaurants in Havana Cuba?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, it is highly recommended to book at popular restaurants such as La Guarida, El Cocinero or Do\u00f1a Eutimia. You should do so, especially if you plan to go out for dinner. You can make your reservation by phone, WhatsApp, email or even social media. On the other hand, there are more informal places (El Chanchullero or El Shamuskiao) where it is more common to arrive and wait for a table if it is full.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1753316630103\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What typical Cuban dishes should you try?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If you&#8217;re looking for somewhere to eat in Havana to try authentic food, make a note of these dishes: ropa vieja, roast suckling pig, arroz congr\u00ed, tostones and yuca con mojo. We also highly recommend trying the seafood (grilled lobster) and desserts such as flan de leche or dulce de guayaba con queso. Each restaurant has a different speciality, so don&#8217;t hesitate to ask the waiters.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Havana is not only explored on foot, but also discovered with the palate.
