We read some comments about this restaurant on tripadvisor and wanted to try it. We were really satisfied. We enjoyed the dishes a lot. It was the restaurant we enjoyed the most during our trip. Not easy to find so you should ask for indication.

The idea of three restaurants in one - pizza, cuban and BBQ - is good. But it doesn't quite fulfill. The food on the second floor (cuban) was just ok. A nice kitchen for cuban standard, but no applause. Good service, a nice place and a little view to the Prado if you choose the right table. Still worth a...

Stay away from the ground floor restaurant. Try the second floor for better quality and good service, and by all means try La Terraza on the third floor. It is hard to give a review because it would be excellent for the third floor, good to very good for the second floor and pretty bad for the first floor, with...

This restaurant is on the second floor and you can walk up or take the elevator. Once in the restaurant area things look a lot different than first appearances from the outside of the building. The lobster is huge. I could not eat it all. The service is wonderful and the food very well prepared and presented. You will not...

the food will probably not disappoint. The service was great. Can't say I liked the furniture/chairs but who cares after a couple of Mojitos?
when I'm talking food you need to know that virtually everything you will ever get includes rice and beans and the rolls look like out biscuits and are rather bland. The food prices in more upscale...

My best meal in Cuba was at El Gijones. The food was well-prepared, fresh, and beyond delicious. The service was attentive and friendly. Our waiter explained the dining room's history to our group. The unique dining room itself is worth a visit. If you have trouble finding the restaurant, call (+53) 5 291 3195 for directions and make your reservations....

As everyone before me has written, don't let the entrance scare you away! Upstairs is a very lovely vintage dining room. (I can't recall, but I believe it was the German embassy?) The paneling and furniture is dark and heavy with giant, colored-glass windows. The appetizers did not stop coming, and they were all fabulous. Sadly, I was too full...

This restaurant is just round the corner from the Parque Central Hotel. It was recommended to us by locals - although I doubt local people can afford to eat there often.
The entrance at ground level is un-prepossing, in fact it looks a little seedy. However follow the host up the stairs and you will find yourself in a suite...

this used to be a place where you could have a huge place with three lobster tails for $11 bucks. Now it's getting a lot more expensive, but service is still great.
I loved the atmosphere and the variety of food with elegant design and quality, one of the best choices for eating out with friends or with your couple. Best deserts in town. I truly recommend this one!
