    If you love seafood you have to try the lobster here. It’s the best in Havana. The seafood soup was excellent too. Waitress Jenny speaks perfect English which made our communication seamless. Good choices of drinks. The staff were outstanding. Services were excellent. Highly recommend.

    By far the best meal we had in Havana. The lobster was cook to perfection. Gazpacho with shrimp was really good. The drinks has enough alcohol , we encountered a few places with watered down drinks 😟 Place is very clean with air conditioning, no flies !!! Price quite reasonable 👍👍

    Famous place, well reviewed. Just behind the more crowded touristy area. The cocktails were very good (Pina Colada & Margarita 5*). The food is good but unfortunately nothing too special. It’s the little details which makes the difference and the bloke sleeping behind the counter with his mouth wide open didn’t added to the atmosphere unfortunately. After one week in Havana I have downgraded this review to 3* as I’m now able to compare with other dining experience. Definitely overpriced for the small portions of food they serve.

    Great restaurant with great service even with the language barrier. My first stop for lunch when I arrived in Cuba. I can’t stop thinking about how delicious the food was.

    One of the best restaurants we visited in Havana. The excellent Mojitos are cheap with 3,50 CUC, the Piña Colada tasted excellent here. The dishes were fantastic. We tried the very tasty and tender Pollo Barbacoa, as side dishes we ordered Platanos, Yuka and the rice - all of them were very tasty. The service was very friendly and attentive - I can fully recommend the restaurant and will not have eaten here last time :). 5 stars

    We were there Sat at 7:30 pm without a reservation. Was given a table for 1 1/2 hours. Very friendly service. Nice decor & good food. Update: we have returned last night & tried new dishes. Tried the smoothy H61.

  • 3/5 John S. 1 year ago on Google
    We were quite disappointed by this restaurant which didn't live up to the reviews. The food was OK but nothing more, and the plain rice and beans that was served with everything didn't really complement the tuna we ordered very well. We asked for medium-rare tuna but it came well done. The service didn't particularly feel very welcoming. We had far superior food and service at a lower price point elsewhere in Havana. Maybe we were just unlucky, but looking at how the couple next to us were struggling to cut through overcooked lobster then I don't think we were alone.

    Where to begin…So we got there and first problem is that our server told us that some dishes were not available. Then we asked for roupa vieja and she said that it would take about 1 hour because of the sauce, same with the barbecue chicken, so we asked another dish and she said that one would be faster which was a lie as we were served after 45 min. Then she didn’t say that the sides were not included, we had to ask her. The food is okay, nothing special tbh, but the worst part was that they served daiquiris in different glasses (which is okay) however they didn’t ask us about it and you can see in the photo that the sizes are very different from each glass and when asked about it she said they were pratically the same, which is not true at all. They were also a bit weird towards us always, taking our plates away while we were still eating. In the end at least it was not expensive, about 12 euros per person (i dont remember the exchange rate but its higher than 200).

    We loved the mixed seafood grill and also the (fried) pork chunks. Both wonderful with the dark rice and beans. Many other great options on menu, but some take a long time to prepare. For example BBQ chicken takes a long time. They care about quality and flavour. The best overall food experience we had in Havana. Very pleasant service and atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Marta D. 2 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    A lovely place where we arguably had the best food in Havana! The quality of the food is great and the prices are more than fair given what you receive. I especially enjoyed their coconut cake. We even came later again to have the cake one more time!

  • 4/5 Mengqi W. 5 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    All the rave about the lobster doesn’t quite justify it. It’s very bland and tough, almost like chicken breast. Great service though and their piña colada is the best, by a large margin.

  • 5/5 T M. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. We came the same day it reopened from being remodeled to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Very clean and nice decor. Food was delicious and so was the service. I would definitely recommend.

    (Translated by Google) First restaurant tested in Havana on arrival and the one we preferred the most. Good value for money. Classroom setting. Fish ceviche not to be missed. Ditto for the Daiquiri is not the bartender. (Original) Premier resto testé à La Havane en arrivant et celui qu'on a préféré le plus. Bon rapport qualité prix. Cadre classe. Le ceviche de poisson à ne pas rater. Idem pour le Daiquiri fait pas le barman.

  • 5/5 Nhu H. 4 years ago on Google
    The best restaurant I have ever eaten at in Cuba. Everything on the menu is good but the Lobster in Cuban Sauce, Octopus salad and Ceviche are to die for. The food was so good we came back 3 times in 4 days just to order appetizers before trying new restaurants. If you have to eat at one place in this whole city, please go and check out this one. You'll definitely not regret it.

  • 5/5 kiran b. 6 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Hamid A. 1 year ago on Google
    We found this restaurant towards the end of our trip. The food was extremely good, the prices were fair (same range as other touristic places). The staff were also friendly. We tried octopus carpaccio, fish ceviche, bbq chicken and pulled meat. All of them were good.

  • 5/5 Inna P. 1 year ago on Google
    An amazing restaurant! Simple and fre with a lot of care and love on the plate! The lobster was fresh and tasty, perfectly balanced! The rice and beans are to the perfection. Price is super fair! What they put on our plate with all the difficulties they face everyday is under appreciated! The service is amazing too!! Please come and support them!

  • 5/5 Benjamin N. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful food, we had a grilled lobster, perfectly fresh and balanced. The place is minimalist, the team is nice and professional, great experience!

  • 5/5 Edmond S. 1 year ago on Google
    Top notch restaurant in Havana! Food was absolutely delicious, I could tell the chef paid a lot of attention to the cooking. Their Pina colada was so well prepared it put any other Pina colada to shame! Amazing atmosphere, attentive staff, this is the best restaurant I've been to in Havana, I would go again!

  • 5/5 Mara M. 1 year ago on Google

    Some of the best food we had in Havana. A cosy restaurant with limited tables so best to book as it is always busy. Great cocktails and really friendly staff.

  • 5/5 C O. 1 year ago on Google • 4 reviews
    This is by far the BEST food we had in Havana, and believe me we’ve tried almost all the “fine dine” experiences here during our trip. Make yourself a favour and don’t go to the tourist traps like La Guarida as you will only end up having less than mediocre food. You can easily see how much attention & care chef is giving to each plate in Habana 61. Everything we tried (shrimp, lamb, ceviche etc.) tasted amazing and was so fresh. Servers & all the staff were super friendly and communicated well in English. If you are looking for delicious food in Havana with cozy atmosphere, don’t look beyond Habana 61 and you will not disappoint. Keep up the good work guys!

  • 4/5 MD Farabi A. 1 year ago on Google

    Delicious food that is beautifully plated. My husband had the pork (pictured here), I highly recommend that and the sauteed yucca. I didn't love my beef ropa vieja, it was good but not quite as good as that pork! This place is clean and air conditioned - and has a clean bathroom. Service was quick and attentive. Prices are reasonable for Habana Vieja.

  • 4/5 Jamie N. 6 years ago on Google
    Restaurant with good service staff. Food is not bad but I wouldn't say it's outstanding. The dish that stood out for me was the gazpacho. Really tasty and whetted my appetite.

  • 5/5 Simon H. 4 years ago on Google
    The best restaurant we ate at whilst visiting Cuba. It has a good reputation and it’s well deserved, the food was delicious. The fish croquettes were light and fluffy with a delicate crispy outer. I can also highly recommend the traditional shredded beef, it was full of flavour- I must thank our waiter for his recommendation. All was not perfect, as the lobster was slightly over cooked but full of flavour. The staff were pleasant and helpful, their English far superior to my Spanish so guided us through the menu and choices. Reservations are a must, and they only take local reservations - meaning no website bookings, so either use your local contact or book when you first arrive, it is worth it though.

  • 4/5 Alexandra S. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Kamal I. 4 years ago on Google
    Food and service here were amazing !! We ordered the Lobster tail in Garlic , the Ropa Vieja , Ceviche , and some rice, beans and bread. Everything we ate was incredible ! The staff even saw that we finished our rice and beans and brought us more over which was amazing as we loved the flavor of it. For what you get and the level of quality, its well worth it ! When i go back to Havana I will for sure go back to this restaurant

    You need a recommendation? Take the ceviche and the ropa vieja! The pina Colada was also very good as drink! The waiter was beautiful and very nice:-)

  • 4/5 helly 4 years ago on Google
    4.5! One of the tastier meals in Havana recommended by our local host. The seafood fresh, black beans tasty and the grilled bananas so amazing; caramelized sweetness that melts in your mouth. The frozen Margherita was pretty on point too; had a decent amount of alcohol and wasn’t too sweet!

  • 5/5 Azul H. 4 years ago on Google
    Deserves all its accolades. Good service, good food, slightly cramped but pleasant ambiance.

  • 5/5 Mr S. 4 years ago on Google
    By far my most favourite restaurant in Cuba!! Excellent....and i mean EXCELLENT Cuban fine cuisine!!! The chef is a talented genius with fantastic creations like Octopus carpaccio, solomillo de cerdo con crema de limon (delicious pork filet with a lime cream sauce, the BBQ Chicken, croquetas, ropa vieja, the fish steak with a green herb sauce and one of the best chicken soups i've ever had in my life! Additionally, you MUST try their Coconut Pudding with Curry sauce dessert....yes, i said a dessert with curry sauce. Forget what you think about curry, this chef did something so original and out of left field that you would do yourself a disservice if you didn't try it. Simply one of the most creative desserts i've ever had, it's a fantastic burst of flavours. The drinks are also skillfully prepared and everything on their entire menu is reasonably priced verging on inexpensive. Do yourself a flavour and visit this restaurant!

  • 4/5 cjamesmcgregor 4 years ago on Google
    Came here as it was reccomended by our airbnb host; we were lucky to get a table early evening as it was rammed with tourists and they were turning away more all evening (make of that what you will). We had ceviche, salad and bread to start and all were excellent. For mains we had a pork solomillio in a lime cream sauce which was good although the meat was a little overcooked. A seafood stew was also solid. Tried the chocolate mousse for dessert but had a weird texture and was sickly sweet; it was kindly taken off the bill as we didn't eat it. Coffees were really bitter but after we mentioned this they remade them and they were a fair bit better. Overall the food is pretty good but the service was brilliant.
