  • This is an immensely popular place on a Friday and Saturday night for its concerts and nightlife. As a restaurant, this has been around forever and markets itself as a high-class place serving international food. Perhaps this is true but I have never met anyone who lives in Havana who has ever really willingly chosen to go to dinner there. Best to eat somewhere else and come back here at midnight.
