Lonely Planet review

On paper a humble Palmares restaurant, in reality a rip-roaring culinary extravaganza, El Aljibe has been delighting both Cuban and foreign taste buds for years. The hype surrounds the gastronomic mysteries of just one dish, the pollo asado (roast chicken), which is served up with as-much-as-you-can-eat helpings of white rice, black beans, fried plantain, French fries and salad. The accompanying bitter-orange sauce is said to be a state secret.
