As a vegan food is almost imposible to find a place to eat around Cuba. This places is like an oasis for vegetarian - vegan people. But beside that they provide different plates, they use fresh and organic vegetables. Everything is fresh and natural and itâs made in front of you. So far the best food in Cuba. So delicious and flavored dishes. The Mesa Buffet is colorful , aromatic and so good. I should stay more longer in Cuba only for this food.Maximo Gomez the owner is friendly got an amazing talent in his kitchen.

We went to El Poeta with great hopes, having read rave reviews about it in more than one guide book and online. And first part of meal was very encouraging with a salsa appetizer and yummy soup (although the banana paste block left a lot to be desired). Then came the meal; two of us had ordered the lamb, based on online recommendations. The flavor was great but it was so full of gristle and bone, there was little meat to eat. Friends at a neighboring table ordered the grand buffet of several different fish dishes. Big servings but it took more than an hour to be made and brought to table and by then everyone was ready to leave--and food was disppointing considering the long wait. The owner/Poet came by and pour rum through sugar cane to those willing to accept it. But otherwise was disengaged. Seemed like a palador whose time had come and gone. Needs some refreshing to keep up with other restaurants nearby.

When I was strolling through Baracoa for a while I got hungry. So I try to find an interesting restaurant. At the waterfront I saw a small restaurant called âCosta Norteâ. A member of our group had told me about that restaurant before. She liked the food and coffee there. So I was curious about that place. Unfortunately, the staff didn't speak English; but the menu was in Spanish and English. When I was about to order they indicated me with hand signs that it would take at least 50 minutes to prepare the food. I considered this as unacceptable (I was the only customer at that time) and left. But then I was thinking about how long it would take to find another interesting restaurant and decided to go back.I ordered Octopus and it took indeed about 45 min until it was served. Meanwhile I tried several cocktails: Pina Colada, Cuba Libre and Canchanchara. All of them tasted good with the right, balanced amount of rum. Also, the Limonada Naturale was tasty. Before the main course they served fresh prepared kind of Krupuk (deep fried crackers made from starch as base). Later I realized that they had to be prepared fresh since due to the high humidity the chips got soft and not so tasty within less than 30 min. The provided fresh veggies were also good. Then finally the octopus was served. The meat was a bit chewy as so often in Cuba. But the taste was far better than the octopus I ate in another restaurant the day before. And the price was with 7 CUC quite reasonable. I enjoyed the meal and would certainly go back there again if I would be in Baracoa again.

5. Casa Particular Silvio y Maribel
Reviewed By Mariapalm
Conosco Maribel e Silvio da più di 10 anni. Non è un ristorante, ma una casa particular, dove si può mangiare prenotando con molto anticipo. Fatevi dire cosa hanno di buono, portatevi da bere, e se Silvio non ha esagerato con il ron, fatevi raccontare di quando ospitava Oliviero Toscani.
