Restaurants in Las Tunas

  1. A

    Restaurante La Bodeguita

    A Palmares joint, meaning that it’s a better bet than the usual peso parlors. You’ll get checkered tablecloths here, a limited wine list and what the Cuban government calls ‘international cuisine’ – read spaghetti and pizza. Try the chicken breast with mushroom sauce for around CUC$5.

  2. B

    Restaurante 2007

    A new attempt at fine dining in Las Tunas (albeit in pesos), this place claims to be ‘reservations only’ and doesn’t exactly encourage non-Cubans. The plush interior and besuited waiters look promising, but you’ll get a friendlier welcome at El Baturro across the road.

    El Baturro

    The walls are covered in scribbled prose – love notes and eulogies to murdered Chilean troubadour Victor Jara – and the plates are stuffed with better-than-average Cuban cooking, including a surprise rabbit dish, making this the best restaurant in Las Tunas – hands down!

  4. D

    Cremería Yumurí

    Queue up with your pesos for sundaes or tres gracias (three scoops) in flavors such as coconut and café con leche (espresso with milk). Not surprisingly, it’s insanely popular.

    La Venecia

    Smack in the middle of town, this peso restaurant housed in a colonial building has an extensive menu, plus balcony dining overlooking the park. Good breakfast spot for eggs (two pesos).

  6. F

    Paladar La Roca

    The pick of the bunch, for its luscious leg of lamb in gravy, a rarity in Cuba and something akin to a desert mirage in Las Tunas. Order it while you can.

  7. G

    En Familla

    Promising sign, morbid surroundings, scant menu; but if you can rouse the pizza man from his catatonic slumber you might just get lucky.
