Frommer's Review

This elegant and upscale restaurant occupies a handsome 1940s house in the Vista Alegre neighborhood. It has five private salons for intimate dining, and a couple of tables on a broad front veranda, which are my favorites. With relatively soft lighting, marble floors, and period furnishings -- some original to the house -- ZunZún (formerly Tocororo) is the place in town to splurge. Everything is very well prepared and nicely presented. It's especially good for seafood, such as a mixed grill of fish and shellfish; medallions of lobster, shellfish, and shrimp; garlic shrimp; and lobster with cilantro sauce. Carnivores can opt for a beef filet in red-wine sauce or a spicy lamb stew. The tables here have white tablecloths and candles -- rarities in Cuba.
