The 10 best restaurants in Havana that will surprise you!

Of the first private paladares, those houses converted into improvised “restaurants”, that emerged in the 90s in Cuba, perhaps only the vestige of a past remains. Since the rise of the self-employed sector in Cuba, the current panorama of Cuban restaurants is totally different.

The options of establishments have multiplied to the point of being able to find from the most glamorous to the most bohemian and from those that offer a varied menu of international food to those that delight us with a rich Cuban flavor that few of us resist. We are going on a culinary route through the restaurants in Havana that enter the top 10 of the most popular.
