Lovely Paladar, splendid location, overlooking the Prado. Beautiful building and great food. Also pretty vegetarian friendly. Recommended by Norma who's Casa we stayed in and who's son is one of the lovely staff.

We ate here as another paladar we wanted to go to was closed, and it was a great choice!! I had lamb and it was simply delicious - tasty and moist. The mojitos were very good (and very strong). We only spent 16 CUC, including the drinks and desert. Absolutely recommended.

My wife and I ate here in October 2012 and had one of our best meals in Cuba. Do not be put off by the rather dingy looking entrance and stairs once you get up there you are in a beautiful high ceilings dining room with even a few seats on a balcony overlooking the road. The food is great... More

this restaurant on the prado between av 42 and 44 on the second floor is a lovely place with wonderful food and great service. Refined food that makes you think you are not on Cuba anymore, with all the limited resources they have, they serve tastful and surprising food. Their wines are also very affordable. Do eat at their place,... More

Yarek and Kenia are putting together one of the better restaurants we found while in Cuba. Ignore the entry, which leads up a rather dingy staircase, and get to the second floor venue which has been very tastefully decorated in an old colonial house. There is a nice patio area and a balcony overlooking the Prado if you want semi... More

We went to Dona Nora at lunchtime, the day after it opened, one of the dozens of paladars that have opened since Cuba relaxed restrictions on the private sector in October 2010. Don't be put off by the puller outside the door with the kitsch menu, or the walk up the stairs. Above is an elegant traditional Cienfuegos house, all... More
