Café Atenas
Atenas is used to receiving the odd stray tourist on a moped-trip from Varadero and can rustle up a rather delicious bruschetta at short notice. Settle down in the clean, if bland, interior with the local students, taxi drivers and hotel workers on a day off, and contemplate the everyday occurrences of Plaza Vigía outside.

Café Libertad
If you’re going Cuban in Matanzas, this cafe on the main square is a fairly painless introduction, though the peso hamburguesas (hamburgers) could do with a little bit of extra garnish.

El Marino
On the main Varadero road, El Marino specializes in seafood, including lobster and shrimp, but has delusions of grandeur. Don’t be fooled by the fancy decor.
