Paladar Salón Tropical

Frommer's Review

One of the most elegant paladares in Cuba -- in fact, it's swankier than most state-owned and hotel restaurants -- this attractively decorated place, with stained-glass windows, lovely tablecloths, and high-backed chairs, also has a terrific, breezy, plant-covered terrace. The views are excellent; it's a marvelous environment for having a couple of beers . . . and waiting interminably for your dinner. It's own popularity has overwhelmed this place, and service can be glacially slow at times. Depending upon what is available, the menu might offer a smorgasbord of choices, including chicken soup, shish kabobs, grilled fish, mixed grill, and barbecued chicken. The paladar is quite popular with smooching Cubans as well as bored jineteras with their romantic "dates." Reservations are highly recommended, and the operating hours listed below are not strictly enforced -- this place often closes early or unexpectedly.
