Restaurants in Pinar Del Río Province

  1. Restaurante La Casa de Don Tomás

    The oldest house in Viñales is also its best restaurant – by default (there’s no real opposition). The casa, with its terra-cotta roof and exuberant flowering vines, is suitably salubrious and the food’s OK if you stick to the house special, las delicias de Don Tomás, a rich mélange of rice, lobster, fish, pork, chicken and sausage with an egg on top (CUC$10). There’s an atmospheric deck out back.

    La Casona

    Hard to believe, but this is Pinar’s best government-run restaurant outside Rumayor. Encouragingly there are tablecloths and wine glasses, along with steak, chicken and pasta on the menu, but positioned unstrategically on the town’s busiest nexus the hissing hustlers are never far away. Get a seat away from the door.

  3. El Rápido

    Yes, Pinar del Río’s struggling restaurant scene might be scant enough to merit a visit to Cuba’s proverbial McDonald’s where the chickens are born fried and soggy pizzas materialize microwaved.

    Heladería

    Guaranteed to make you even more cheerful is this clean place where you can get a substantial tres gracias (three scoops) for the price of half a teaspoon’s worth of Haagen Daas.

    Coppelia

    You’ll require the patience of a saint, but the two peso a scoop ice cream (when there is ice cream) is cheap and the atmosphere is usually cheerful.

  7. El Estanco II

    A simple pizza and beer place 1km out of town on the road north, and a decent pit stop. A pizza costs a couple of Convertibles, a plate of spaghetti slightly more.
