Open noon-11pm daily

The Bodegón Onda is located within the Comendador Hotel, which slightly confusingly is next to the more visible Hostal Valencia (one of our favourite places to stay in Havana). This is a delightful, if low-key place offering a choice of typical Spanish tapas in a building that has been sensitively restored with its original roof wood beams to be the quintessential rustic tavern.

This is a great place for a pit stop and while not really a destination restaurant is a great way to break up the heat of the day since it always stays cool under all of the heavy brickwork.

The entrance to Café Laurent gives little away. While just a few blocks away from the iconic Hotel National, Calle M has little commerce and you have to be guided into the apartment building where a s …
