La Guarida, Havana, Cuba – food and restuarant review
I loved LaGuarida. It is a must do when in Havana. Food was inventive and on the whole, very good. The snapper carpaccio was excellent. Not only …

We went for dinner based on a recommendation and the food was outstanding! Don’t be put off from the outside as it looks abandoned when you reach the 3rd floor you eat on a rooftop with fantastic service and the food was amazing! Highly recommend the pulpo ceviche!

We came here on a rooftop bar tour. It was very chilly and windy but we had a great time. The drinks and food was good.

Wow! What a great meal. Started off at the rooftop bar and then had dinner on the terrace. The food was fantastic, amazing wine list, and very great service. View if the water is nice as well. Tuna tar tar was my favorite item…super fresh. Garlic shrimp was also very good.

Wow, completely WOW. I found this hidden gem on Instagram, and I am oh so glad I did. The atmosphere is completely unmatched. You walk in through a semi-decrepit-looking entrance, with beautifully crumbling architecture typical of Havana, and wind up an ornate staircase through a succession of stunning and colorful rooms/floors. This all ends on a glorious rooftop bar with 360-degree views of the city. It took my breath away. The food was also impeccable, and the menu offered some adventurous choices, which I always appreciate. They could’ve served me poop on a platter though, and I would’ve been happy— nothing can beat that view! And the art throughout is stunning. Great service, not too crowded. I felt like an insider seeing a side of the city that I would never have otherwise gotten to see. Do not miss this.

I’ve been to this magical restaurant two times over the past few years. It’s a regular stop when you are traveling to Cuba with a group. Both times this place can really take your breath away by the decaying beauty. The rooms have amazing art and the staff is terrific.
This time the apps were delicious. Beautifully done with really interesting texture and flavors. The entrees— even the house specialities were just okay. Salt (on the table) really helped my snapper. And my friend’s chicken and another friend’s cod fish.
Dessert- a kind of lemon and meringue was excellent.

Went here for dinner with a group and listened to a great local band. The building is gorgeous and we enjoyed the different terrace bars. The three course dinner was delicious and the drinks were generous!

A culinary masterpiece in an elegant bit of architecture.
The food is outstanding; we had 3 courses, and each dish was delicious. The tuna tartare starter and chicken main were especially good.
They have a good selection of cocktails, and more importantly, a wide selection of Rum!
Service was fantastic, all waiting staff were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating.
Restaurant was packed, so the vibe was good, and the views you get on the balconies is great. One of the rare venues tourists can pre book, so strongly suggest you do to.ensure you get a table.

La Guarida was a wonderful place to end our visit in Cuba. It was also my husband’s birthday. Such a treat! Service and food were both wonderful! Can’t wait to come back next year! We very much enjoyed the rooftop seating. The staff was wonderful and helped us celebrate a lovely trip! If you’re in Havana, it’s a must go!

This overpriced restuarant has a beautiful rooftop to look over the not so lit city of Havana. But the sky can be fabulous. Drinks and good are expensive, for what they are. But the building is frozen in time and you will have a good time.

When we chose this restaurant, it seemed like a well-established institution. However, our experience suggested that it didn’t quite live up to the expectations set by its Google reviews and the surrounding hype. While the standard of food is still quite good by Cuban standards, it fell short of what we anticipated.
The setting was nice, when you walk in there is the speech written by Fidel Castro on the wall next to the stairs which is a popular spot for photos. The aesthetic of the interior is nice and provides a good vibe for dining.
Despite being regarded as one of the best restaurants in Cuba, there were some glaring issues. One glass contained an unidentified floating object, and the sparkling water was completely off, arriving pre-opened and undrinkable.
The fish of the day was snapper, which was well-prepared and complemented by a flavorful sauce. The texture of the fish was fine and easy to chew.
The 50-day dry-aged ribeye was served with a hot plate, allowing us to sear the steak ourselves. While the concept was interesting, the execution left much to be desired. The aging process was evident in the texture and flavor notes of the steak, but it didn’t quite reach the expectations of a premium dry-aged cut. It was accompanied by grilled capsicum, potatoes, salt, and a sweet-and-sour sauce intended to enhance the self-searing experience.
Next, we tried the saffron oxtail risotto. Although it carried the scent of saffron, it lacked the authenticity of true saffron infusion. Unfortunately, the dish was unbearably salty, overshadowing any other flavors.
The lobster dish was similarly disappointing. It was overly salty and had an unpleasant raw seafood odor, suggesting it wasn’t fresh enough.
The ropa vieja was slightly better—above average and, thankfully, not overly salty.
As for desserts, the rice pudding was bland, appearing prepackaged.
The cheesecake was below average, though the touch of cheddar was an interesting twist that gave it a semblance of being a true cheesecake.
The triple chocolate dessert was the standout highlight—rich and satisfying. Another notable dessert was the lemon tart with meringue, which offered a pleasant and refreshing conclusion to the meal.
At the end, it took about half an hour to receive the bill and sort out payments, which was far too long for us and prevented us from spending the rest of our night somewhere else.
In summary, while Le Guarida shows promise, its reputation didn’t align with the actual experience. A few standout dishes aside, the inconsistencies in preparation and quality were hard to overlook.
Thank you
