    This is an outstanding vegetarian restaurant run by Aristide, a man with a very interesting life story. There is no sign for this restaurant other than an illuminated cross as shown in the photos below. There is no menu. Aristide simply cooks up a selection of vegetarian dishes that could can server yourself from buffet style. Its best to drop into the restaurant during the day to make a reservation so that Aristide knows how many people he has to prepare food for that evening. The restaurant is quirky and the food is amazing. We (3 vegetarians) explored Cuba for 3 weeks on a road trip from Vinales to Baracoa and this was the best food we experienced.

    Most incredible original flavours in Cuba. I have travelled here for 6 weeks so far and this was an absolute highlight. I went twice in my 3 days here. BOOK AND PAY IN ADVANCE, the situation in Cuba is difficult so the chef cannot buy and use ingredients for no shows. Everything was ready and beautifully laid out for our arrival. Including a delicious pudding. Rustic location, nice atmosphere and the best vegan meal I’ve had here by far.

    THIS IS THE BEST RESTAURANT OF THE WHOLE OF CUBA!!! When you are in Baracoa, just go here, when there is nobody, just nock on the door, normally somebody will open. The food is all vegan from there own garden near the restaurant. Ask to see the garden end they will show it to you. You will get an unforgettable experience. We went there around 13h to check the restaurant and book for a table, in the evening we were the only people eating there. You get food enough. Just to find this spot isn't very easy, just look in an small alley in the area of the spot on google maps. You definitely have to go there when you are in Baracoa, this is the spot where you need to be end enjoy.!!!

    This place is a cularinac juwel. The food is 100 % vegan and marvellous. It will give you an unforgettable experience. The chef is a real master of his profession and has a remarkable knowledge with which he creates fantastic food in an almost magical way. Also as a person he is interesting and has a lot of good stories and info to tell. The design of the restaurant is unique. It is a bit hard to find: you got to walk on the right side of the blue house to get to this little paradise.

    Stumbled in there more or less by accident. And went there on every single day, I had been to Baracoa. Lovely people and stunning vegan food! You know these moments, where you can taste the love and joy from the first bite on?

    We ate at this restaurant and it was amazing. We went at around 2pm to ask if it is possible to reserve a sport for tonight. And it was. He told us that he always improvises and that we pay 10$ beforehand and that the food will be ready at 7pm. It was an amazing experience. The atmosphere inside is great, you feel close to nature. Plates and spoons are from wood and everything is vegan and absolutely delicious. I am vegetarian and have a very hard time in Cuba but this is the place to go to, also as non-vegetarian. It was fun, we laughed and we great food. This is the only restaurant where the chef eats together with you and it is so personal. If you visit Baracoa, this restaurant is a must and an amazing experience.

    Best vegetarian food we’ve ever had. Couldn’t stop eating. 😂 Aristides is an amazing and passionate chef - so inspiring!! The whole evening was one of a kind. To reserve, it’s best to call Aristides and book your seats. The restaurant is open, even during after-Covid times! :)

    Incredible food and simply a must go! You won't get better vegan food in all of Cuba and would still be hard to beat outside of Cuba!

    Fantastic place with great food and a very funny, friendly chef that'll keep you entertained. You'll get the menu he makes up on the day (it's 10€/1050 CUP) and there'll be a variety of different things plus a lot of rice. The place is nicely decorated. To me an absolute must when in Baracoa! (I had some problems with my stomach since the day before and he also took care of me in a special way, giving me a soup and some hot tea especially because of that)

    What a place. I visited in December and it was a delight. The food is so fresh and delicious, you can really tell thought and care has gone into it. Being vegan in Cuba can be quite tasteless but this was fantastic. Make sure to book during the day.

    The most amazing culinair experience in Cuba. A very special place where it feels like home and where the food is outstanding. With every bite you can taste the love and expertise of the chef. In the end he sits with you at the table to eat together and have a chat about life. If you are in Baracoa it’s a crime to not go here!!
