Lonely Planet review for La Bodeguita del Medio

Eat and drink under the watchful eyes of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro in this hard-core Cuban café de la revolución.

    Good food, good drink, good music

    mstjohn9 recommends this,

    It's hard to know where to start when you're tagging all the good things about this Colombian homage to the famous Havana restaurant frequented by Papa Hemingway. But if you like simple but well-prepared Caribbean food and great Latin American music, this small neighborhood eatery decorated with pictures of leftist revolutionaries and religious figures is the place for you.
    The architect-owner's past ties to the movement -- he accepted amnesty a few years back -- give his politically and socially rebellious establishment an irresistible air of authenticity. His smartly chosen play list of Latin music makes the experience even better. But what will bring you back here time and again are the humble but terrific Cuban and Colombian peasant and country dishes -- plus the best mohitos you've ever tasted. -- By "Not a CIA agent" American traveler and his Colombian wife
