These Restaurants in Havana Embody Cuban Creativity
"Rib-sticking Cuban classics — picadillo, vaca frita, sweet fried maduros — shine a short walk away at Doña Eutimia, a casual restaurant tucked into the buzzy Callejon del Chorro. Regulars order the saucy ropa vieja reinvented with lamb (those darn beef shortages) and ask for (free!) refills of the velvety black beans." - Anya von Bremzen
"Doña Eutimia, Cuba Once you’ve found the restaurant, tucked away in an alley off the Plaza de la Catedral in Old Havana, you’ll discover why Leticia Abad’s ropa vieja is widely considered the best in the city. Tables are few and in high demand, so make a reservation for dinner. Callejón del Chorro No. 60-c, Plaza de la Catedral, Habana Vieja, 53/(0) 7-861-1332. This appeared in the October 2013 issue."
We had a fantastic meal here - definitely a highlight of our trip to Havana! The courtyard is beautiful and there was a lovely band playing throughout our meal. We had the chicken fajitas and the picadillo. We also had flan with ice cream which was superb. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Havana! (Note: be careful of the men harassing you on the street - they tried to lie to us and tell us the restaurant wasn’t open!)

The food was delicious, staff friendly and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. The octopus in garlic was really tender. It is not easy to spot immediately - make sure you go to the end of the alley.

This was our favorite meal in Havana. The service, the bean soup, fish and Ron Collins were AMAZING. I compared every place other place we ate to this one and this one won overall every time!

One of our absolute favorite dinner spots in Havana. It's amazing in every way. Classic sensibility, with a hip, lively vibe. Fantastic food and the best Sangria we've ever had. We still dream about it. Can't wait to get back! If I could give it 6 stars, I would. Highly recommended.

This place is another tourist stop to taste authentic Cuban food. The prices are high for the average tourisy Cuban restaurant. Even in the low season, expect a waiting line and to spend ~25€ per person for 1 entry, a drink, and a main dish. It is busy but recommended for a one-time experience.

Although it was busy when we arrived, they managed to find a table for us in no time. If you can’t find a table straight away, book it for another time, it’s worth it. Had the tuna in avocado as starter, shrimps in red sauce for main and the coconut ice cream is a must. The food was so good we had to book for next day as well.

Good food but now days you have better options all around old habana. Best frozen mojito in Habana.
