Why locals recommend it

This is the place for those who really want to get to know what the real Cuba is like. The building represents three different time periods: what Cuba was, what Cuba is today, and when you enter the restaurant, you discover Cuba’s future. Not a tourist Havana, but the version lived by Cubans. The grouper is a classic, we’ve had it on the menu since the beginning. The marlin tacos and the suckling pig confit with orange sauce are excellent as well. All the food is prepared with great care.

It is one of the most expensive restaurants in the city. It is located in a palace of the last century. At present it is a multi-family building that offers a unique atmosphere where the daily routine of the neighbors is mixed with the tasks of a luxury restaurant. Scenario of the Oscar-nominated Cuban film "Strawberry and Chocolate" and winner of innumerable distinctions. Visited by famous European monarchs and personalities from the world of sport and entertainment at international level, the paladar La Guarida represents an icon of Cuban gastronomy. However, the portions are not plentiful.

La Guarida, the most legendary private restaurant in Havana, became famous, as well as for its excellent cuisine, for being one of the main stages of the film by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea and Juan Carlos Tabío "Strawberry and Chocolate", the first in the history of Cuba in being nominated for the Oscars.
