📸 Havana’s La Guarida: Stunning Photos… But Skip the Food

📍 Location: La Guarida, Havana 🍽️ The Verdict ✅ Photogenic AF: ★★★★★ • Vintage spiral staircase (1F-3F), sunlit patios, film-worthy laundry lines—every corner is Instagram gold. ❌ Food Quality: ★☆☆☆☆ (Sorry, not sorry) • No lobster that day (lol), and the rest was… meh. 📸 Photo Ops Guide 1️⃣ Spiral Staircase: • Pose leaning on walls, sitting on steps, or peeking around statues. 2️⃣ Rooftop Terrace: • Use telephoto lens for Havana skyline backdrop. 3️⃣ 2nd-Floor “Laundry Scene”: • White sheets + clotheslines = accidental movie set. 🥘 What We Ordered (And Regretted) 🍹 Cuba Libre ($5) ⭐⭐⭐ • Rum + Coke—basic but fine. ☕ Café La Guarida ($6) ⭐⭐ • No Cuban coffee kick—just… warm brown water. 🍛 Curry Chicken ($17) ⭐⭐ • Tasted like instant curry powder + canned coconut milk. 🍚 Creamy Fish Risotto ($30) ⭐ (WTF) • Salty, fishy, and overpriced—even a seaside kid like me struggled. 🍰 Pistachio Mousse ($10) ★★★★★ • Only edible dish—nutty, creamy, perfect. 💡 Harsh Truths 🇨🇺 Why Cuban Food Sucks: • Land grows tobacco, not crops—most ingredients are imported and expensive. • “Michelin-level”? More like 6/10 at best. “Come for the aesthetic, leave for actual food elsewhere.” 📷🚪 #HavanaPhotos #CubaTravel #SkipTheRisotto
