A
El Sabor Latino
Santa Clara’s only real paladar is easily trumped by many of the city’s casa particular chefs, but still lures plenty of clients into its well-maintained midst with its improbable Rolling Stones’ ‘Glimmer Twins’ logo. The menu offers complete pork or chicken meals with rice, salad, tostones (fried plantain patties) and bread for CUC$10 (or fish for CUC$12).

Restaurante Colonial 1878
Hold onto the table when you cut your steak here, or you might lose it on the floor. Tough meat aside, 1878 is an amiable enough place, even if the food struggles to emulate the dusty colonial setting. Pop in for a cocktail or a light lunch.

El Castillo
This peso find cooks up quality meals of pork, chicken or liver with congrí (rice flecked with black beans), and salad. The twist is that you eat standing at a counter flanked by marble pillars, stained glass and mosaic tiles.

Dinos Pizza
Smarter than the average Dinos, the Santa Clara branch has three computer terminals for internet access (CUC$5 an hour), a pleasant bar, air-conditioning and friendly, helpful staff. Oh – and it serves good pizza, too.

Paladar Bodeguita del Centro
Voluminous dishes on offer include red snapper. The dimly lit atmosphere and graffiti-covered walls here mimic Habana's Bodeguita although once seated you'll feel more like you're in someone's front room (you are!).

BurgueCentro
The burgers aren’t quite steakhouse standard but the upstairs bar overlooking Parque Vidal is a good drinking perch.

La Concha
The town’s best restaurant is an easy-to-miss place on the outskirts of town that does a good trade in capturing coach parties on their way to and from the Che memorial. There are some classy lunchtime bands here, though the highlight is generally considered to be the cheap but tasty pizza (from CUC$4).
