Café del Oriente

Frommer's Review

This elegant little restaurant sits just off the Plaza San Francisco and, when the weather permits, has a few outdoor tables. Inside you'll find a cool, large room, with a beautiful patterned marble floor, high ceilings, and dark wainscoting on the walls. In the center of the restaurant is a large, U-shaped bar. The menu here is one of the more extravagant in Havana, but it isn't adventurous as it used to be. For the main course, I like the wild rabbit with oregano or the fish filet in lime coulis. Even if you don't take a full meal here, this is a great place to stop for a drink or cup of coffee while touring Old Havana. In fact, it's open 24 hours daily for a very late night or early morning pick-me-up.
