It is a city where there is always something being served, including restaurants that feature both American cuisine and International cuisine.
Menus are diverse with a taste of everything. One local favourite is the Asia de Cuba, which is a farm-themed bistro that serves some fabulous menu choices like miso-cured Alaskan butterfish, and other Cuban cuisines. The food here is a little more expensive, but for exceptional Cuban cuisine, it is one of the city’s best.
For a classic and elegant steak, the Maestro’s City Hall Steakhouse and Restaurant is the ideal spot, and for Mexican, La Hacienda, a Spanish ranch house is perfect for gourmet Mexican food and signature margaritas.
