Los Mercaderes

One of the questions I get asked most often is, “Where should I eat in Old Havana?” The truth is, Havana’s food scene is as diverse as the city itself. From street-side 'paladares' to elegant restaurants, you can choose many options according to your taste and your budget. Below, I’ve put together a list of my personal recommendations, organized by price to help you make the most of your Havana experience. Don't forget to try some of Cuba’s iconic dishes, like - 'ropa vieja' (shredded beef), - 'tostones' (fried plantains), - malanga fritters - 'flan de caramelo' (a creamy dessert).
