A
Restaurante el Castillo de Farnés
Advertising itself as a Spanish-orientated restaurant (it was founded by a Catalan), El Castillo de Farnés has average food, with house specialties such as chickpeas and chorizo lacking the bite of the versions at Restaurante La Paella or the Mesón de la Flota; however, it’s usually busy. The varied seafood menu is in the CUC$7 to CUC$20 price range. Next door, the sidewalk bar that sits alongside traffic-choked Av de Bélgica is OK for a beer, although the car fumes can sometimes be asphyxiating.

B
La Zaragozana
Established in 1830, this is Havana’s oldest restaurant but a long way from being its best. The Spanish-themed food – which includes the obligatory paella – would have kept Don Quijote happy but the ambience, amid assorted Iberian flags and memorabilia, is a little gloomy.

C
Mesón la Chorrera
The Mesón La Chorrera is in the Torreón de Santa Dorotea de la Chorrera, an old fortified tower that marks the western extremity of the Malecón. The restaurant serves up a Spanish-influenced menu in a unique oceanside setting, and sometimes lays on music.

D
Restaurante La Paella
Known for its paella (CUC$10), this place, attached to the Hostal Valencia, has an authentic ambience, but never really matches the real deal from Spain’s famous Mediterranean city. The fish is a good alternative.
