  • La Cabaña has a great view of the city but truth be told is a relatively basic place. The Cabaña Restaurant Bar has a private air-conditioned room for 30 people with live music. The rooftop terrace has a seating capacity of 70. The Cabaña chicken is not bad but this has never been a favorite of mine.

    1830 Restaurant  LH 2

    Opinions vary at La Giraldilla. It is next to the Macumba nightclub, which is extremely popular on nights when good groups are playing. The entire complex is very upmarket featuring acres of white mar …
