Worst for: Unexceptional food. Looking a little worn.
Prado No.158 1er piso entre Colón y Refugio
(+53)7867 - 4958
Open noon-midnight daily

    • Overlooking the Prado boulevard, this has a great location and a pleasant relaxed ambience. Although it could probably do with something of an upgrade, it has been in business for many years and has a steady stream of clients who appreciate the views from the terrace as well as consistent, if unspectacular food. Main plates are priced at CUC 7-9, which does not make it the best value but on the other hand is pretty standard. The chefs Annia Rey y Yanela Véliz are currently working hard to improve the menu. Watch this space.
