Eat amidst art

Popular plate: The five set lunch options – each named after a different artist – are great value at CUC 9-11.

Just as the name implies, this restaurant doubles as a gallery and each of the often stunning pieces of contemporary art and photography on display is for sale. They change the exhibition every two months, which gives the Vedado restaurant a constantly new atmosphere to accompany the food.

For lunch the sun-dappled terrace is charming, but dinner is more romantic in the low-lit, intimate dining room. The menu offers a range of French-influenced Creole food, but reassuringly depends on what fresh ingredients they can get hold of. Prawns battered in coconut are a particular treat.
