Don Cangrejo
Perched strategically on the rocky shores of Miramar, this unique seafood restaurant is run by the Ministry of Fisheries and scores high points for atmosphere and service. Fresh fish dishes include red snapper, grouper and prawns, and there's lobster plucked from the pit on the terrace. Add to that a pool table and swimming pool, an inexpensive pizza-and-grill menu, and one of Habana's classic signs out front, and you can't go wrong.

El Templete
This upscale restaurant opened in late 2004 and is situated near its namesake temple, where the city of Habana was founded in 1519. Overlooking the harbor, the eating space is split into two halves: an alfresco area under a large awning, and a pleasant indoor dining room with starched tablecloths. For once, the food quality lives up to the fancy decor, with seafood specialties spearheaded by shrimps and lobster; prices are also what you'd expect.

Restaurante La Terraza
Another shrine to Ernest Hemingway, La Terraza specializes in seafood such as stuffed squid and paella, and does a roaring trade with the hordes of Papa fans who drop by daily. The terrace dining room overlooking the bay is pleasant. More atmospheric, however, is the bar out front, where mojitos still only cost a couple of convertibles. Check out the classic wooden refrigerators and don't miss the black-and-white photos of Hemingway on display.
