About

Brand new restaurant , opened in February 2011. We were one of it's first customers. A 'Palador 'style restaurant located in a penthouse apartment of an of classic 1950's building; with magnificent views over the city and of the ocean. interior decor is modern1950's cool, creative, and artfully appointed. the food was excellent!!! One could could compare easily to a fine restaurant in Paris, NY or London. staff are young and attentive and gave great service.

Best food in Cuba-hidden gem!

We were recommended this restaurant by the concierge in Hotel Capri and it was amazing! Located on the top floor of an apartment block, very hidden and the true meaning of a ‘hidden gem’. I had the lamb casserole which was delicious with so much...More

It’s good but not wow.

The setting is on the 5th floor of an apartment, views are so so. Food is standard, nothing exceptional. Went with the vegetable soup and that was okay. Service was okay just had to get their attention. Getting the bill was quite a wait but...More

Just so-so

This is a fairly highly rated and regarded restaurant in Habana. Acknowledging that there isn't significant food diversity in Cuba, you need to make up for it in experience. Here, the food was just ok and the ambiance so-so. Cocktails were watered down. They did...More

Our best food in Cuba!

Very nice place with good food and wine. Reservations are necessary as the place is almost always full. The best dish was the sampler platter. The portions are huge, consider sharing. I had the lobster, could only eat half of it.
