The menu is unusually creative and the service great.... More

Liked the look of the menu instantly, imaginative use of local ingredients. The service was professional, chatty and attentive. Great selection of wines too, not to mention Ron. Maybe a bit pushy on selling extras, we were only there for lunch and not into drinking a lot. Cannot match the art & interior design provided in some of Havannas newest... More

This is, by far, my favorite restaurant in Havana. It is also a chef school and the small attached restaurant serves the best meals for VERY reasonable prices. This place was so good that we visited it 3 consecutive days. Also, the best FLAN I've ever had in my life. And that is saying a lot! Do not miss It's... More

We had a marvelous meal at Habana Chef. I had ceviche and lobster and both were marvelous. My husband had rabbit which he raved about. The atmosphere is also most enjoyable. The night we were there the live music was a guitar and violin and they played lovely background music. It was a really memorable evening. Clearly, our best meal... More

This is a great restaurant, probably one of the best in Havana. Food is very good, tasty, fresh, refined. We loved It. Service is also good, with the owner explaining the menu options for each guest. While it is not easy to find, it is definitely worth finding it. Prices are OK for what it offers, with a meal for... More
