Caribbean Cuba Havana Dining TocaMadera

Overview

TocaMadera

The guide was updated: 2024-09-16

If TocaMadera's menu can't excite you, few things can: from tantalizing pequeños of tamales, empanadas and taquitos, to the raw bar featuring several exciting varieties of ceviche and appetizing mains (try the hot stone with a choice of tofu, chicken, grass-fed beef or Japanese wagyu, plus scrumptious sides). The cuisine is curated by chef Suárez, a pioneer of the Cuban New Food scene that aims to incorporate local tradition into cutting-edge culinary endeavor.

La Guarida

La Guarida

Glamorized by the provocative 1993 drama "Strawberry and Chocolate," La Guardia stands strong as one the capital's best dining establishments and a prominent player on the New Cuban Food scene. Book in advance for a rare treat.

Paladar Doña Eutimia

Paladar Doña Eutimia

A reliable option for traditional Cuban, Doña Eutimia cooks up recipes passed down through generations, with staples like ropa vieja (pulled beef) and malanga (taro fritters), with a side of obligatory rice and beans.

5 Esquinas Trattoria

5 Esquinas Trattoria

This excellent trattoria serves everyone's favourite Italian in the heart of old Havana, spoiling patrons with bulging calzones, cheese-drowned pizzas, and pasta with an extensive selection of sauces, all at very reasonable prices. Habana # 104 , Esquina Cuarteles, Havana, Cuba

Espacios

Espacios

Despite its notable artistic inclination (the villa where the restaurant is housed is also a showroom for artwork), Espacios feels casually relaxed and completely unpretentious. It's both a restaurant and bar, with a selection of international dishes and frequent live music nights hosted in the courtyard, featuring traditional local performers.

Habana 61

Habana 61

For a modern take on traditional Cuban try the semi-formal Habana 61 in the old town area. The menu lists the usual suspects of ropa vieja, malanga fritters, octopus and lobster — in several incarnations.
