🍽️ Recommended Restaurants in Havana, Cuba (with Fly Index Warning)

📍 Doña Alicia Recommended Dishes: • Cinnamon Cappuccino ☕️ (The owner makes it perfectly—I had two cups!) • Spicy Shrimp 🌶️ (A Cuban specialty recommended by ChatGPT—affordable and tasty.) Pros: Zero flies! Clean environment and budget-friendly. 📍 Café Mambo Habana Recommended Dish: Garlic Lobster Cons: Fly Index ★★★★💀 (Street-side dining with a side of flies…) 📍 Los Nardos (2nd Floor) Why Go? • Elegant ambiance, fly-free! • Background music: Imagine Dragons/Coldplay—feels like Europe/US. • Decent food, but the comfort is the real win. 📍 El Chanchullero Recommended Dishes: • Affordable Cuban home-style dishes • Mango Juice 🥭 (Refreshing and delicious!) Cons: Fly Index ★★ (Tolerable but annoying.) 📍 RicarDon (Tech-Themed Restaurant) Avoid: • Robotic ordering/delivery, but the meat tastes gamey, and the pasta is mediocre. • Fly Index ★★ (Overpriced + bug bites.) 📍 El Floridita Bar (Hemingway’s Favorite) Must-Try: Daiquiri Rum Slush 🍹 (Perfectly refreshing!) Pros: Fly-free + historic vibes—a must-visit for photos! 💡 Survival Guide for Dining in Cuba ✅ Top Picks: Los Nardos (nice ambiance), Doña Alicia (clean), El Floridita (classic). ❌ Avoid: Street-side spots with flies (unless you can ignore them). 💰 Payment Tip: Use CUP pesos for better rates (USD exchange is a scam). “In Cuba, good food ≠ cleanliness, and cleanliness ≠ good food… but at least El Floridita’s Daiquiri never disappoints!” 🍹 #CubanCuisine #HavanaEats #RestaurantReviews
