    Paladares: Paladars: La Guarida
  • Tip Rating:
  • Restaurant Name: Paladar "La Guarida": Good Food and Service

    The film "Fresa y Chocolate" was partly shot at this place. Now is a trendy restaurant, although still inexpensive (the specialty of the house is "cherna caimanero" or red snapper. The house walls show many Hollywood stars who have dined here, including Jack Nicholson. It's open 7:00 p.m. to midnight; reservations are recommended.

    Favorite Dish: I like everything they cook. My favority dish is barbecue fish with salad and wine.

    Paladares: Paladar: "Amor"-Good food
  • Tip Rating:
  • Restaurant Name: Paladar "Amor"

    This second story restaurant in an opulent Vedado colonial mansion is one of Havana's top paledars. Prices are excellent, atmosphere a romantic reminder of times past. Service is friendly but slow, and the food good. Call ahead; when we stopped by in July 2000, it was being renovated.

    Favorite Dish: The seafood is good

    Paladares: Paladar: "La Cocina de Lilliam"
  • Tip Rating:
  • Restaurant Name: Paladar La Cocina de Lilliam

    This is a great place to eat lunch or dinner. Part of a large Spanish colonial style house built in 1937, its green, lush garden, full of ferns and small palms, is bliss in the warm, humid Cuban weather. The food is hearty and flavorful, including such starters as roasted chickpeas mixed with pieces of ham, sausage and tomatoes, and a simple bruschetta topped with tuna. The pork loin rolled and stuffed with dates, peanuts, ham and sausage was delicious although extremely filling. Lilliam even offers a nice selection of wine from Spain's reliable producer Torres.

    El Ajibe: Restaurant: "El Aljibe"
  • Tip Rating:
  • Restaurant Name: El Aljibe Restaurant

    If you want the works as far as Cuban food, go nowhere else but here. This is rich and invigorating country food for which even the proudest farmer in the Vuelta Abajo would ask for a second plate. This large, bustling outdoor restaurant dishes up the best chicken on the island. Nine out of 10 customers order the roasted chicken, which comes soaked in a deliciously pungent sauce made with fermented oranges, chicken drippings and garlic. Then there are the spicy black beans, lightly boiled white rice and deep-fried plantains that accompany everything. If you are not a chicken eater, try the deep-fried pork. Service is quick and professional. They also offer one of the best wine lists on the island, and all the bottles are perfectly kept in a temperature-controlled room.

    Favorite Dish: The "Pollo al Aljibe"
