Calle 19 No. 909, entre 6 y 8, Vedado

Open noon-midnight

This friendly paladar hides out in a newly painted but crumbling Vedado building. The place itself has a revamp in 2011 and now is a lot more upmarket than in the past. The terrace up top is huge done in the style of a ranchon and offers a pleasant ambience for dinner.

Try the huge breaded pork schnitzel (CUC 5). Traditional Creole dishes abound in hearty, tasty portions.
