I have been to Cuba twice (7 years apart) and El Dandy remains my favorite local bar to sit, enjoy great drinks, and people watch. The staff are super friendly & the drinks tasty!

Our favourite bar/restaurant in Old Havana. The quality & prices are the best in Old Havana in our opinion. Also the staff is super super nice. That’s a bar you are looking for when you go to Cuba. Also the food for diner is really good! Some tapas, Tacos etc. super good prices. Also the coffee prices are half of the ones from other “famous” old Havanna bars. Go there!

I Had A WONDERFUL And AMAZING Experience At El Dandy!!! The Food Was Very Delicious, The Atmosphere Was Pleasant, And The Staff Was So Catering To Me... They Treated Me Like Royalty The 2 Times My Tour Guide And Translator Brought Me To The Restaurant! They Even Played Ole' School Hip-hop Music For Me When They Found Out I Was From America!😅 Definitely One Of The Best Restaurants In Havana, Cuba!!! Did I Mention The Food And Drinks Were Delicious!🥰❤️

Our favorite bar/restaurant in Cuba! It’s owned by a beautiful couple who came and greeted us, along with the most friendly host working at the entrance(thanks for all the music recommendations - we love them) We had the best mojitos in town and some delicious food and the price and the exchange rate is more than fair! They also have wifi which is a bonus in Cuba. If you ever read this - thanks so much for everything, we hope to return again! Lots of love x

What a great bar/cafe! It’s in a very good location and the staff is super nice 😊 we had delicious coffee

Good mojito, good coffee, good tacos! What's not to love? It's a cute little place in a busy area but sitting inside helps you escape the chaos just a little.

Great location in one of the most authentic squares downtown, and very cozy decoration. Tried the coffee there and it was really good. I just wish there is no habit of stressing the customers that I see almost everywhere in Havana cafes, and where the waiters come to you every second minute to ask you if you’d like to order something more!!

Very nice stuff. Tacos was also very good. Unfortunately day after eating taco we came back and ordered 2 different pasta(carbonara and pesto) - they didn’t have any flavor and what is worst we get food poisoning. I don’t want to give one star because first visit was really nice, but after second we wouldn’t come back and recommend it

Went for breakfast. Both our dishes tasted really nice and the were accompanied by an extremely tasty spicy red sauce.

One of the coolest places in town, we came here multiple times. Cocktails were excellent and also had the tacos which were incredibly tasty. Staff were very attentive and fun

(Translated by Google) Very good place to have a few drinks, exceptional waitresses (Original) Muy buen sitio para tomar unos tragos,camareras excepcionales

(Translated by Google) We had breakfast in this cafeteria. The food was rich but we found it expensive. The dishes were not large and we paid 15 euros for two coffees, two juices, a toast and some Mexican-style eggs. (Original) Desayunamos en esta cafetería. La comida estaba rica pero nos pareció caro. Los platos no eran grandes y pagamos 15 euros por dos cafés, dos zumos, una tostada y unos huevos a la mejicana.

One of our favourite place in Havana. Great vibe, great people-guys are very nice and helpful. Very good cocktails and food, actually I prefair it some tacos or quesadilla there in fair price than go to other restaurant👌 The Best Canchánchara I have tryed in Kuba You must to try it👌

I ate breakfast here twice while visiting Havana. We also stopped in for evening drinks and appetizers. Nice place, nice atmosphere. I would return even though the price was higher than places just down the road.

This was my breakfast go to in Havana. The service is great, friendly, they speak multiple languages, and they keep it very clean and organized. The food is actually pretty good for Cuba. The prices are a little higher than other places around the neighborhood, but the great atmosphere and good coffee made up for it. Great location too, good place to sit and watch life in old Havana. No they do NOT have Wifi any more.

Great little restaurant located at a Plaza with wifi-you can use a prepaid card here and have a mojito :) staff is friendly and food was good. Recommended!

(Translated by Google) Good place in the area of ​​Old Havana. (Original) Buen local en la zona de La Havana vieja.

Really cool place in the centre of Havana. Having a coffee, cold drinks and great food while observe the daily life on the streets. We especially liked the amazing photos and artworks on the walls. And the bouncer/host/captain/mayor/whatever at the door: coolest guy.

Went here once while in Cuba. Although it was super hot, the vibes were on point and workers were very friendly. Unfortunately, half the menu was not available so I ordered one of their pasta dishes which was very tasty.

Great place for breakfast with amazing atmosphere and overlooking one of the main squares. I’d recommend it as I will visit when I’m in town next.

Congratulations -- you've just discovered, quite possibly, the best cafe in all of Havana. This place has it all -- the location, the decor, the music, the service, the cocktails, the coffee, the food, the VIBE. Was thoroughly impressed with all of it. If you're looking for a well-made drink, or a lovely brunch, this is your spot, ya dig?

A great choice for a nice breakfast in Havana 😁Chilaquiles and Mexican style eggs ❤️thanks for good service

Our group of four had great tacos and mojitos! We loved the atmosphere here and the people watching from the giant windows.

Ein typisches Café à la Havanna Style. Einfach zum Verlieben. Die Bedienung ist super nett und das Essen ist einfach ein Traum!!! Eine klare 12/10

Close to the Capital in Old Town. Great jazz music playing for a mellow start to the day. Best coffee I had while in Cuba, also the best bacon/ham and perfectly cooked eggs. Great breakfast - and sourdough toast! Fair price for tourist spot. Excellent staff - host outside has such a great way to manage street entrenched and is very welcoming.

Good food and drinks. Friendly staff. Opens at 8am and serves breakfast (limited options tho, but very delicious).

We went here multiple times on our trip to Havana and LOVED it. I really enjoyed the Mojito El Dandy, which was made with basil. We ate some killer pulled pork tacos, prices were super reasonable and the vibe was great on a Friday night. It's definitely more of a tourist spot, but the cozy vibe and good food makes it worth a trip. Staff were super friendly and spoke good English, which was a perk. Definitely recommend and worth having dinner & drinks at!

Friendly and bilingual service. Understood my questions about accommodating gluten free. Good coffee and very good Mexican eggs. Very affordable menu and fun atmosphere.

(Translated by Google) Tasty next to the Capitol (Original) Вкусно, рядом с Капитолием

(Translated by Google) Our favorite in Havana, cozy place and delicious food, in the form of tapas, special mention to tacos pollo! The cocktails are very good too. The food is not typical Cuban and the bill climbs if you take several small dishes and cocktails quickly but it's worth it :) (Original) Notre coup de cœur à La Havane, endroit cosy et nourriture délicieuse, sous forme de tapas, mention spéciale aux tacos pollo! Les cocktails sont très bons aussi. La nourriture n’est pas typique cubaine et l’addition grimpe si on prends plusieurs petits plats et cocktails vite mais ça en vaut la peine :)

Great place! Affordable prices, Friendly staff, really near Parque Central.

A place that is deserving of the hype. All the cocktails we had here were well made and reasonably priced but the pina colada is probably the best we had in Cuba. Food was not bad either. What makes this place great though is the staff. Super friendly and create such a welcoming atmosphere for guests, whether its the guys on the door or the bar staff. There's a reason its busy no matter what time of day you walk past the place.

Tasty breakfast Available in the early morning, nice Service, good prices, great location.

Absolutely love this place !! It's my go to place in cuba for food, atmosphere and a great time. Love the service especially...everyone is absolutely friendly and very welcoming..even down to the security guards. It's safe and that's what I love the most !! I recommend El Dandy all day, everyday to everyone and anyone !! Please check them out if you're ever in Habana....you will love it !! I promise 🤞🏾🤟🏾

(Translated by Google) Divine the atmosphere, drinks and food away from the hustle and bustle of the most "touristy" area. 100% recommendable (Original) Divina la ambientación, los tragos y la comida lejos del bullicio de la zona más "turística". 100% recomendable

Friendly staff, epic vibe and extremely tasty food. Asked for a side salad which wasn’t on the menu, and they were accommodating. Really great bar with cool interior

Great coffee shop. Nice and friendly staff. Great food and drinks. I highly recommend this place.

Place is cute but service is horrible, food tastes ok but is expensive for what you get. One piece of toast and eggs with no butter for the same price as what you can get down the street (eggs, toast, butter, bacon and fresh squeezed juice). I didn't even bother taking pictures of the food. I think it would be better to just come for a drink or a coffee if you don't mind waiting.

We stayed in the area and made this our night cap spot. The staff was super friendly & the drinks were very good and strong. We dropped in one morning for coffee as well and it was delicious too! Highly recommend. The spot is small but that makes for a better experience with people from all walks of life. Good mix of locals and foreigners. It’s location in the Plaza de Christo makes it easily accessible. They also have wifi so that’s a major plus!

By far one of the best places for food and drinks in Havana Vieja. Good quality food, fairly priced, friendly service, and good CUP/Euro change. Recommended.

Been here multiple times during my stay in Havana and have mixed feelings about it. It’s probably the least Cuba-like cafe I’ve been to during my three week visit of this beautiful island, and it seems to me that tourists come here for this reason if they need a break from their stay. The food quality is good, but it’s overpriced and the portions are small. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money, you’ll likely leave hungry, while there’s better value for money everywhere else around this place. In the end, it’s just another tourist trap.

Super chill vibes, the servers know english. We tried their tacos and they were nice. Drinks are good too. The place had a nice crowd and good music.

The place is the least habana-like tourist trap around. It’s really honest. The place that you how much you will pay in CUP, Euros, dollars as it is right there on the board. Prices are decent, food portions for pasta slightly on the smaller side (but cheaper for the same amount of food compared to the rest of the surrounding tourist places). Music is really good and there’s no one that will get a commission on your back. Really liked it.

Nice spot off a street walk. Haven't tried the food but recommend trying the Michelada "El Dandy", a similar rendition to the Canadian Caesar but with with beer.

Very nice bar

(Translated by Google) Very expensive for what it offers. I ordered a mango daiquiri or it had no flavor, it was rum with ice, horrible, I had to ask for sugar to be able to drink it. Bad. I do not recommend it (Original) Muy caro para lo que ofrece. Pedí un daiquiri de mango u no tenía sabor alguno, era Ron con hielo, horrible, tuve que pedir azúcar para poder tomarlo. Malo. No lo recomiendo

(Translated by Google) Nice place (Original) Lindo lugar

It was our first stop in cuba after checking into our airbnb and our first bucanero beer. The staff graciously made room for us at a reserved table by the window explaining we could sit there until the party arrived. Very nice accommodating staff. We can't wait to come back.

(Translated by Google) Very good area and better care. (Original) Muy buena zona y mejor atención.

loved it. great food and great people. we came here twice.

(Translated by Google) First class food, top service, affordable prices. (Original) Erstklassiges Essen, top Service, bezahlbare Preise.

Great place to have an excellent cappuccino and an excellent cuban-style fusion breakfast or lunch at a reasonable cost. The decor is wonderful, and worth the visit in and of itself. Staff is great too.

Great spot for cocktails and a snack in between sight seeing. This place is close to the Manzana hotel. Very affordable prices and great staff.

Quaint lil bar-restaurant where the scrambled tomato egg was somehow tastier than most places I’ve been too. If you’re looking for a breakfast spot, this is a nice spot to park yourself at for the morning.

Amazing food, amazing drinks, and best of all amazing people! We enjoyed the staff most of it. They made us feel very welcome and enjoying the Cuban life and music 😃🎵

We were in Havana for a week. Found this place on the 3rd day and came back for breakfast each subsequent day. The food is great, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the drinks are excellent. The Mexican style eggs and the El Dandy baguette were fantastic. Make sure to try the sweet potato fries with aioli!

Another must visit Cuban institution. Comfy, vibrant interior that looks through the window of Cuba’s past. Good choice of hot beverages.

Hands down, the best food I've had in all of La Habana. The gazbacho was amazing and the food will not disappoint!!!

The staff were lovely, as was the espresso and decor. Sadly however it took almost 1 full hour to be served food, for what was two fried eggs with a topping, a little cheese and cilantro (it was nice though and the menu does look very good with a decent range of choice). The El Dandy "baguette" is not a baguette, but a panini, and very poor quality for $6.5 USD (even in England this would be less than $5). The pineapple, ginger and beetroot juice was good. Given the wait time, the 10% should have been discounted - I didn't complain but had I been serving I'd have done that regardless.

Excellent place to have a mojito or a daiquiri, and if you start getting hungry, definitively try their tacos, they are yummy

One of the best meals we had in Havana! Ribs & tacos were amazing, service was great and the music was our favorite!

Located just next to a square with a cosy atmosphere. Cocktail quality is just good, and the bartender’s original one was pretty nice ( rum, lemon juice, orange and something) You might find a very talkative & friendly guy in the entrance, who is actually really nice. If you need some recommendation just talk to him.

Super busy place and kitchen a bit slow (maybe was a wrong day but almost an hour for tacos) but the food and the cocktails were very good.

Great food and drinks Excellent service

Very nice people, coktels are great 😊

Ordered the pulled pork taco with the peach and mango juice. The tacos were amazing and the juice was sweet but a little bit of zing. Ambience was great, a very worthwhile dining experience.

Outstanding! We are breakfast and lunch here frequently. Good tacos and breakfast items. Coffee and more. We liked the frapacinos and pineapple juice

(Translated by Google) A place that attracts, excellent attention (Original) Un lugar que atrae, excelente la atención

Authentic place

Tourist trap. Don't bother.

Okay food, nothing unique and pretty expensive. I don’t think it’s worth it

(Translated by Google) a good place for coffee, breakfast or evenings for drinks (Original) добро место за кафу, доручак или предвече за пиће

(Translated by Google) Delicious food, conveniently located. Top! (Original) Вкусная еда, удобно расположено. Топ!

(Translated by Google) Food bad, waitstaff worse (Original) Essen mies,Bedienungen noch schlimmer

Great quesadillas and delicious mojito and pina colada. We went here four times on our short six-day stay in Cuba because it was consistently good, the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was nice.

(Translated by Google) Food ok, espresso great, service very bad mood. (Original) Essen ok, Espresso super, Bedienung sehr mies gelaunt.

One of the best places we found while staying in old Havana. Drinks are maybe a little more expensive than normal but food is great and a bit cheaper than elsewhere. Really recommend the place though because of the vibe and the staff helpfulness

Great food, great cocktails, great spot!

The food and variety was excellent. Breakfast all day and excellent quality, traditional Cuban food. This area of old Havana is up-and-coming.

This place had an awesome vibe a great breakfast for 3.50 CUC coffee here was also great you also got these yummy little coconut sweets with your coffee. The mojito's were also excellent
