Ruiz Recommends
Pamela Ruiz on eating in Havana:
What restaurants would you recommend? I would say that besides transportation food is the trickiest part of a Cuba trip. There’s only a handful of good restaurants for lunch or dinner and you have to know where to go and definitely book in advance. Some of my favorites are: Esperanza (+53-7-22-4361) and La Guarida (+53-866-9047).
What about the transportation? You can rent a car but I always suggest hiring a driver for the length of your stay. It’s not very expensive and saves you a lot of headache…because nothing ruins a wonderful evening like having to wait for an unreliable taxi.
