    (Translated by Google) Very nice local took care of even the smallest detail beautiful and friendly waitresses such as the waiter who served me very professional authentic lobster Cuban cuisine very good octopus made with tender wok and very tasty fresh salad with a sauce that makes you smell the aroma of Cuba. To finish the espresso in a hot cup, the best of every place I visited in Cuba is exceptional. Visiting if you are in Havana is highly recommended. (Original) muy lindo local cuidó hasta el más mínimo detalle hermosas y amables camareras como el camarero que me sirvió muy profesional auténtica langosta cocina cubana muy buen pulpo hecho con wok tierno y muy sabrosa ensalada fresca con una salsa que te hace oler el aroma de cuba. Para terminar el café expreso en una taza caliente, lo mejor de cada lugar que visité en Cuba es excepcional. Visitar si estás en La Habana es muy recomendable.

    Excellent food, especially under extreme conditions to get supply due to the dire economic situation. Prices adequate-you can pay in Eur at EUR/CUP 100. Possibly the only place apart from la guarida to get gourmet like food. Service is very friendly, attentative, and knowledgeable. Like others before we liked the most the red snapper-a blissful experience🫠🫠🫠

    We heard from a friend that this may be the best restaurant in Cuba.. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try them all, but 5 Sentidos is certainly very high on the list! It is expensive, but you pay for what you get.. quality food, excellent service and a really nice space.. In a country that can be inconsistent food-wise, this restaurant certainly stands out..

    The best place we ate while in Cuba. It isn't cheap, but it was a nice experience. Only place we went back to. Their mystery appetizer and 2 drinks deal is a huge bargain. They have some of the best cocktails we had while in Cuba. They definitely have the best presentation of anywhere we ate. Food is very Instagrammable (if that is your thing). But it is still tasty.

    Ceviche was very good, Pork was good, lobster was decent. But at that price there's heavy competition. Nice little place though.

  • 5/5 Malamadre M. 1 year ago on Google
    For me & my wife it was the best place in Havana ! It was close to our hotel and as a first restaurant to visit we choose this one ☝️ and after that we visit many of them but in our mind always was that place as a N1 ! So, in 8 days we visit it 4 times :) highly recommended!!! If one day I’m again in Havana that place “5 Sentidos” I’ll visit for sure!!!

    I was recommended to check this place out by some friends I made while staying in Havana. I actually went back a second and third time as their menu was exceptional and I enjoyed a nice experience with great service. Smoked Rabbit, Swordfish, and Guayabana Postre were my favourites. Can’t wait to go back...

    (Translated by Google) Fine food, reasonable prices, good drinks. Right next door is a tourist trap - looks cheap, but is twice as expensive. It looks classy here and it is classy too. As I said, the prices are very moderate - a pleasant atmosphere! Thank you so much! (Original) Feines Essen, angemessene Preise, gute Drinks. Gleich neben an ist eine Touristen Falle - sieht billig aus, ist aber doppelt so teuer. Hier sieht es edel aus und es ist auch edel. Die Preise sind aber wie gesagt sehr moderat - angenehme Atmosphäre! Vielen Dank!

    The service was great and the decoration inside upgraded with table clothes. And European prices. One of the few places in Cuba you can find fries. We took only fries and a chicken salad. They fries were good but too soft, not crunchy enough. And the chicken salad was also good, but the lettuce was in whole pieces, which was weird. I am aware tho, their main dishes might be better.

  • 5/5 Полина �. 5 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    A classic restaurant with a leather-bound menu, white tablecloths and crystal chandeliers. The menu was in euros (EUR = USD there), they also give you change in euros/dollars, which is really rare in Cuba. The food was tasty, well-executed and beautifully presented. I especially liked their mixed starter-plate (perfect option if you want to sample different things). As for the service, while all the staff were polite and friendly, I couldn’t fight a subtle feeling that their work didn’t meet the standards of such a formal classical place they want to be. Imagine if the restaurant atmosphere and design were more in tune with modern trends, it could allow the service to be more relaxed as well. But I really enjoyed the dinner there, overall everything was good.

    Sentidos was a great experience. The interior is beautiful with an open kitchen and large windows on the street. The service was exceptional and servers knew the menu well. The red snapper was well prepared and presented. Very good.

    We visited this restaurant 3 times over 6 days. Food was consistently good. Go for the 5 sentidos experience, comes with an appetizer and cocktail of the day. Muy bien! Good service too.

  • 5/5 alice r. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious! This is the best food we had in Havana. The red snapper dish was the star of the show, the confit lamb was unctuous and the desserts were very welcome after a lack of them in other places. Prices are higher than most other places we went, but still very reasonable and completely worth it!

    Exceptionally amazing restaurant. During our visit to Havana we visited several good restaurants, but 5 Sentidos without a doubt exceeded any expectations. It is a very cozy and beautifully designed place. The food is exquisite, at a very reasonable price. The service is 5 stars. We will definitely visit this restaurant again when we return to Havana.

    This was one of the main highlights of our trip! We couldn't stop talking about how great the food and service were. In our eyes, this was up there with a Michelin Star restaurant, kudos to the staff! Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Mary S. 1 year ago on Google • 163 reviews
    The best seafood restaurant in Havana. Nice decor with high ceilings, clean and air conditioned. We love seafood so it worked perfect for us. Lobster, tuna and octopus were fresh, well cooked and presented. Desserts and drinks were both great. We ordered drinks with no-ice option, they were happy to accommodate. Overall A must go if you are in Havana.

  • 5/5 jamie j. 5 months ago on Google • 109 reviews
    Small restaurant (maybe holds 30 people) that gets very busy so make reservations; went on a Sunday and it was sold out for the night! Daily specials so ask - the server may not know so it may be a surprise for everyone - delicious and worth the surprise (which included a drink.) Best wine I have had the entire trip (and I’m from California so quite particular.) Beautiful and quaint restaurant - smaller servings. Full dining experience so plan for 2-3 hours; I was there 2 hours but sadly ran out of time for dessert. Service was wonderful- they speak English. Restaurant can be accessed by taxi but streets are small and narrow. CASH only.

    Food and service were excellent. Great location in old Havana. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Jackss 2 months ago on Google • 68 reviews New
    Probably the best restaurant we went to in Havana and Cuba overall. The presentation is great and all the food looks delicious. The place was great but don’t be surprised the prices are the same as if you were in the Uk / eu. Probably not the best example of the cuban experience as you don’t feel like your actually in Cuba. If your travelling and want a break from the risky or dodgy restaurants just go here.

  • 5/5 Brenda L. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing! Best food we had In Havana! Must go here.

  • 5/5 Rainer Z. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Wow, ceviche based on guacamole as a starter and hare as a main course. Both were unsurpassed in themselves. Very clear recommendation for Havana. (Original) Wow, Ceviche auf Guacamole Basis als Vorspeise und Hase als Hauptgericht. Beides für sich genommen waren unübertroffen. Ganz klare Empfehlung für Havana.

    We had read amazing reviews for this restaurant and there is no disputing we were greeted with a huge smile and service was fantastic. A gorgeous looking restaurant with a great menu. However, I fell terribly poorly after the meal and spent the next 24 hours in bed. Appreciate this is quite common in Cuba, but was slightly disappointed.

  • 5/5 alwin 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jack W. 8 months ago on Google
    Had an amazing lunch here! Food and service was excellent. Desserts were especially good! Pricey compared to other local places and only accepts $ (and probably Euros). AC was great and they had big bottles of mineral water!!

  • 5/5 Daniel A. 1 year ago on Google
    Probably one of the premier dining experiences you can get in Old Havana! The food was excellent and the waiters were very kind and friendly. I strongly recommend getting the Smoky cocktail paired with the Lamb chops

  • 5/5 Mike V. 9 months ago on Google
    We ate here our first and last nights in Cuba. Everything was excellent. The high end cocktails were wonderful, food and service top notch. Our son has severe food allergies and the staff were very attentive to that, reassuring him as to what was safe for him to eat. Staff spoke excellent English.

  • 5/5 István O. 4 years ago on Google
    It is easy to find not so great food in Havana, but not here. Excellent, polite and professional service. This restaurant has not much missing to earn a Michelin star (compared to British Michelin star restaurants it may already exceeds)

  • 5/5 Binbin C. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Christina N. 4 years ago on Google
    Exceptionally great place. Delicious food and mojito, great service, very reasonable prices. They accept USD with a fair rate, no cards. Definitely will go again the next time. Ceviche and fish tartar - to die for!

  • 5/5 Rui D. 4 years ago on Google
    And suddenly and excellent gastronomic surprise in Havana. We found accidently this restaurant, the environment and the decoration details pulled our attention, and believe it or not no one tried to push us in. Simpathic and professional coworkers, fair price and most of all great approach to the Cuban gastronomy. Congratulation to his creator that we had the chance to meet that night.

  • 3/5 Isidel D. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I sincerely like the design of the restaurant. The well-assembled dishes and the acceptable flavor. The world chocolate dessert Recommended. But the smoke and the strong smells from the iron in the kitchen became annoying, on the other hand the service was not the best. The attention was limited. Despite having selected this site on 02/01/20 for a birthday, we were not comfortable. (Original) Sinceramente me agrado el diseño del restaurante. Los platillos bien montados y el sabor aceptable. El postre mundo de chocolate Recomendado. Pero llego a ser molesto el humo y los olores tan fuertes de la plancha en la cocina, por otro lado el servicio no fue el mejor. La atención fue limitada. A pesar de haber seleccionado este sitio el dia 01/02/20 para un cumpleaños, no estuvimos a gusto.

  • 5/5 cjamesmcgregor 4 years ago on Google
    Really well appointed, up-market restaurant with excellent but relaxed service. Pretty much every dish we had was amazing, from starters to dessert, as were the cocktails and coffee. Would call out the slow-cooked pork with tropical sauce as being especially good. Only criticism I might have is that the dessert menu is a bit limited. Went back a second time (ceviche / red snapper / seafood stew) and everything was just as good. The dishes look amazing too, if you're into taking pictures of your food...

  • 5/5 Pablo H. 4 years ago on Google
    I’ve walked past 5 Sentidos many times and was always impressed by the overall design and look of the place, but was too intimidated to walk in because it “looked” expensive. After reading some good reviews online, I decided to take my fiancé on a date there. I walked up to the hostess, who greeted us with a big smile and kindly asked if we had a reservation. We told her we didn’t and she said that although there was no seating available, she would check to see if an upcoming reservation was still going to show. Thankfully for us, they were able to seat us. Our server Yanette was very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and speaks English as well. We started with the Blue Fish Tartar (6CUC) and a couple of Mojitos (3.50CUC) before ordering a delicious bottle of Spanish Tempranillo Wine that was only 30CUC. As our main dish, we had the chicken masala (pollo masala) 10CUC and the stewed lamb (Cordero estofado) 11.50CUC. The sauce in the chicken masala was delicious. The curry flavor was not overwhelming. The lamb was just about the most tender lamb I’ve had in a very long time and did not taste gamey. Although the portions are not huge, the quality and flavors are impeccable and the prices reflect the amount of food you get. For example, the lobster tail is 16CUC. If you think that’s expensive, well then you’ve probably been street food for the most part. If you’re looking for a classy, full flavored, affordable, and elegant dining experience in Havana with very good customer service; then you need to come to 5 Sentidos.
