  1. Quinta Santa Elena

    Quinta Santa Elena ‘Old clothes’ is a name that has never really done justice to Cuba’s famous shredded-beef dinner (ropa vieja). There’s certainly nothing ‘old’ or ‘clothes-like’ about the dish here, or the equally tasty shrimps in red sauce for that matter. While the Mesón has the edge on food, the Santa Elena wins the Oscar for location, set on a charming riverside patio in front of the city’s famous packhorse bridge.

  2. Mesón de la Plaza

    The best food in town and the best location. Encased in a 19th-century mansion that once belonged to a rich Spanish tycoon you can tuck in to classic Spanish staples such as potaje de garbanzos (chickpeas with pork) and paella here while appetizing music drifts in from the Casa de la Trova next door.
