Typical Cuba food.: Typical Cuba food.

by quiescental

The typical Cuban has bread for breakfast, for a treat they add butter. Beverages include hot milk, coffee and rarely juice. For lunch and dinner the menu almost always includes black beans and rice. A small piece of chicken or pork goes with it. Another common dish was small pizza's that you could pick up at little sreet side vendors. They wer pretty much dough and cheese but were very tasty. I'm not sure how often Cubans get it, but when I was with them we had ice cream at least once a day. It was sold from small stores and the taste varied widely from place to place.

by Tom1971

Actually as I was a bit skint I didn't try any of the flashier restaurants-but if you are not planning to stay with cubans it's worthwhile going to someone's house for a meal. People in the street in will invite you for a lobster or fish meal for $7-10 and all the meals I ate were very good and well worth the money.

by jordihno

Having a mojito at La Bodeguita de Enmedio is a MUST when visiting La Havana. Eventhough you'll probably find more tourists than locals, the environment is really nice ;)Sometimes there's people playing music... as everywhere in Havana :)*

by LaCalifornia

Apart from restaurants in $$ and paladares, there are also Cuban restaurants where you can pay in Cuban pesos. In 23rd Street (Vedado): El Cochinito, Castillo de Jagua, 7 Mares...Don't miss the Barrio Chino: a small street in Centro Havana, near the Capitolio, with around 10 restaurants quite cheap and you can also pay in Cuban pesos. The food is alright, the atmosphere enjoyable, and Chinese have been in Cuba for centuries and still keep their names and organizations. They even celebrate Chinese new year...Also, try the food you can find on the streets: Cuban pizza from 6 to 10 Cuban pesos, Frituras (from yuca flour), Cuban sandwiches and other sweeties. You can buy them all in Cuban pesos. Coffee and juices are also available in the streets for 1 Cuban peso.

Cafe de Paris: Cafe de Paris

by cristina1

Great bar with great Cuban (latin) music all day with fabulous groups playing from noon to midnight daily. Also in a uniquely interesting and historic location. Loved the atmosphere - always a hive of activity. Rice and Red Beans (vegetarian)

by James_O_Dowd

Any palador is usually very good, they usually have the freshest and cheapest food.Families serving you meals together in their own back yard, how many people have experienced that from total strangers.? My favourite menu item was definetly lobster, if you ever have the opportunity to get then do, especially in a paldor as it usually straight out of the water.

by kateluvscuba

We stayed at the Sol Rio de Mares, at Playa Esmeralda, therefore the meals were included in our package. Everything was good in the buffet and a la carte restaurants.The athmosphere was cozy everywhere, and the service was excellent. Very clean. My favorite was the fresh vegetables, the rice, and the WINE!

by slawekjb

Great many places in tourist centers. Fast food type.Unless you go to an expensive restaurant (like in Havana) dont expect too much...Incredible meals, considering whats available in stores ( I mean the stores that sell for pesos) Whatever is available

by yubali

you can eat in the street the cuban pizza, which cost 3 pesos outside havana, and 5-7 pesos in havana.(1 dollar = 22 pesos on september 2001)the pizzas are not so bad, and not all taste the same. so if you once had a bad one, just try eat somewhere else a better one. there are some which are even really good.
