Food Scene
On the top floor of an eclectic Havana tenement . La Guarida's rest on its movie locations setting.
Fresa y Chocolate
The food is up to the chef special menu.
there would be a mix of captivating blend of
nueva cocina Cubana into dishes as sea bass in mango sweet sauce, or perhaps something like frijoles dormidos meaning …sleeping black beans ;)
You need to call for Reservations is required and somehow a bit tricky.
Try to have a table on the terrace, al fresco over the stars.
Yeah! now we are all good.

Keep it simple with the creole cuban food .
It’s a good flavour as your grandma might have cooked you.
In my case I'm Vegetarian and yes occasionally you can find delicious dishes here at this place.
Salads, croquettes, and the different type of rices with black beans and sweet plantains.
From a pretty spot next to the cathedral.
The rest is history or it soon will be
