Restaurants in Ciego De Ávila

  1. A

    Restaurante Don Pepe

    A bartender named Eladio invented the Coctel Don Pepe (two shots of orange juice, 1.5 shots of white rum, and half a shot of crème de menthe, stirred) here back in the day. They’re still serving them, along with the good old pork and chicken dishes, in this pleasant colonial building. There’s occasional live music.

    Fonda la Estrella

    [ourpick] Fonda La Estrella Quite possibly the cheapest quality food in Cuba, this small airy place serves four set dishes for just CUC$1.50. But it’s far tastier than your standard fried-chicken ration. For a few Convertibles more you can bag paella and a delicious ropa vieja.

    La Vicaria

    A safe haven next to the bus terminal, La Vicaria is a dependable national chain with affordable food and efficient service. The open-fronted sitting area on the Carretera Central is less than salubrious, but the food’s more than adequate for a pre-bus journey snack.

    Solaris

    Enthusiastically recommended by the locals, this city-center joint, on the 12th floor of the rather ugly Doce Plantas building, offers excellent city views and has a menu that includes a special cordon bleu. Ask to try the unique Solaris cocktail.

  5. Empresa Cubana del Pan

    For bread, it's either Empresa Cubana del Pan in pesos, or Panadería Doña Neli (Parque Martí), in the northeastern corner of Doce Plantas, which charges in Convertibles.

  6. Yisan

    Alright, so it’s not dim sum; but if you haven’t yet tried chicken chow mien with a mysterious Cuban twist then you haven’t really been to Ciego de Ávila.

  7. Restaurante El Colonial

    For the regular pig and pollo (chicken), this is the place. It's located in a big house in the center of town with a nice courtyard.

  8. La Estrella Azul

    Brand new restaurant with various set dishes. Quite possibly the cheapest quality food in town.

  9. El Rápido

    When in doubt seek it out. This branch sells good yogurt and claims to be open 24 hours.
