The Oasis is housed in the Centro Cultural de Arabe, but don’t be fooled by the Middle Eastern myth. The food here is bog-standard Cuban, and not particularly good at that – unless you have a penchant for dodgy hot dogs or soggy sandwiches – but it’s the kind of place where’s you’ll see Cubans eating, and it makes no provision for ‘Western’ palates. The shop downstairs is handy for late-night groceries, but the weekend disco is a filled with jineteras (women who attach themselves to male foreigners for monetary or material gain).
