A
Restaurante Plaza Mayor
The best bet courtesy of its on-off lunchtime buffet, which, for around CUC$10, ought to fill you up until dinnertime. Nighttime offerings aren’t bad either if you stick to the chicken and beef, though the atmosphere can be a little flat.

B
Paladar Estela
You can choose the dining room or pretty rear garden to take your meals in this popular place located above the Plaza Mayor (the owner also rents rooms). Cordero (lamb) served shredded is the house specialty, and the portions are large.

C
Cafetería Las Begonias
The day-time nexus for Trinidad’s transient backpacker crowd, meaning it’s a good font of local information and the best place in town to meet other travelers over sandwiches, espresso and ice cream. There’s a bar behind a partition wall, clean (ish) toilets in a rear courtyard, and four or five cheap – but always crowded – internet terminals.

Paladar Sol y Son
All the ingredients of a fine Trinidad evening – think antiques, an elegant patio and the dulcet strains of an eloquent trovador – plus good food thrown in. Even the waiting room (yes, it gets busy) is a veritable museum piece. The house special is roast chicken and it’s worth the wait. English is spoken here.

E
Mesón del Regidor
A cafe-cum-restaurant with a friendly ambience and a revolving lineup of local musicians, including the town’s best trovador, Israel Moreno, who’ll drop by during the day and serenade you with a song over grilled cheese sandwiches and café con leche (coffee with milk). Savor the surprise.

F
Trinidad Colonial
Here you’ll dine on good portions of Cuban cuisine in the elegant 19th-century Casa Bidegaray. Meals are reasonable, even if the service is a bit frosty, with smoked pork topping out at CUC$6. The store attached has a good selection of books.

Restaurante El Jigüe
Stunning setting with less-than-stunning food. Bank on the house specialty, the aptly-named pollo al Jigüe; it’s baked at least, offering savory flavors distinct from the usual frito (fried).

H
Restorante Vía Reale
Break the chicken-and-pork grind at this Italian place with good pizza and spaghetti lunches. This is a viable vegetarian option.
