Antonio Eligio Fernández (Tonel),
member of Hexágono, one of the
memorable groups during the creative
explosion of the 1980s, has made use of
caricatures, drawings, paintings,
sculptures and installations to examine,
from aesthetics closely related to
conceptualism and minimalism, both the
everyday life of his immediate
environment and the universal instinct
of human beings.

Havana, the ‘Fox & Crow’ offers an intimate

by a red English telephone box at its entrance. Top
jazz players perform here on a nightly basis. More
Ronnie Scotts than Pizza Express, don’t expect to
chat too much without getting frowned at which is
pretty unusual in Cuba where conversation generally
trupms all. Our only real grumble is that it starts so
late I have generally turned into a pumpkin by the

Stones]. In Rainer Warner Fassbinder’s
comedy (under the direction of Carlos
Díaz with Teatro El Público company), a
young man who is looking for an
apartment where he plans to live with
his girlfriend after their wedding, is
intercepted by a mature man, a
manipulator of emotions, who the young
man falls passionately in love with. The
presence of the girlfriend and an exlover of the mature man give rise to
serious conflicts. Díaz has chosen to
make a reading of the play more from
the domination/submission relationship
rather than from the twists and turns of
homosexuality.

La Maestranza in Old Havana is the only Cuban park

themselves down the air ramps without danger of
breaking any bones along the way.
Splendidly located right across the Malecón, in the

Whilst there is a theatre in the building we are
talking an informal and popular music venue
for some of the best contemporary Cuban
musicians. Think MTV’s unplugged. The place
itself is a basement café theatre, Café Brecht,
known as No Se Lo Digas a Nadie (Don’t tell
anyone!). The idea of this place was to create
a space where people could hear music that
was both good and affordable (you can pay
50 local pesos to enter). Inside we are talking
low ceilinged, 50`s style chic.
This is where the coolest musicians play for
fun, think Sintesis, David Torrens, Qba Libre,
Polito Ibáñez, Interactivo and Raul Paz. The
crowd is mostly young Cuba and includes the
screaming girls at the front who always seem
too old to be teenagers – what do I know.

superlatives trip off the tongue. This is
notionally an Italian place although amongst
its many specialties is a range of grilled meats.
The place is huge with plentiful seating on the
terrace as well as (our favorite) a number of
ranchons. It boasts its own impeccably
maintained botanical gardens which kids will
love while you lounge the afternoon way. This
is out of town past Hemmingway’s Fince Vigia

Elena's
up and downs
to dining out
in Havana?
by Elena Vega
While taking advantage of the holiday season I embarked on the mission of eating out in new and old
paladares in order to report on more ups and downs for the food enthusiasts in Havana. Here the
results of the field research for this month.
DOWNS:
The zoo at Piccolo: This is where the best pizzas in Cuba are made (in
my opinion). It is a cute restaurant in the beach town in Guanabo and the
favorite of many families that like to stop for lunch on weekends after a
morning in Playas del Este. The pizzas are baked in a wood oven and
dressed with fresh ingredients from the vegetable garden on the
premises. But as much as the food and prices are great, the little zoo that
the restaurant keeps as entertainment for the children that visit is pretty
depressing. There you will find a huge snake inside a tiny cage, a jutia
(which is kind of an opossum mixed with a beaver) also in a small
enclosure, and many caged birds. I mean, even in the case of snakes, there
are few things more depressing than a big animal trapped in a small space.

Elena's up and downs to dining out in Havana?
by Elena Vega
The indoor area at Tres Medallas: This is definitely not the prettiest looking paladar in Havana. It was
opened about a year ago by Olympic champion Mireya Luis and her Italian husband. The restaurant, which is
named in honor to the three gold medals that Mireya won in Barcelona, Atlanta, and Athens, offers a variety of
decent Italian food (including wood baked pizzas) at decent prices. The place has an open outdoor area and it
offers an indoor space too. For the hot months the indoor dining room provides the comfort of A.C. and a
space away from the flies; nevertheless, the area is dark, cold, with little personality and loud music. I would
highly recommend the owners hire a professional interior decorator to bring some charm to this uninviting
space.
Calle 20 # 313, e/ Av. 3ª y 5ª. Tel: 052 645 337
The turtle offering at many paladares: Without naming names I would love to mention this huge “down” in
many paladares in town. Some of these restaurants are already great, with good food and service. So, if
everything is already working well, why in the world do they have to offer endangered species in the menu? In
this case I have decided to withhold the names of the places that have offered “caguama” or “tortuga” as a
gourmet dish, but it is more than one. I know the line of legality and illegality in Cuba can be pretty gray, but
this is not only illegal, people, it is immoral! And then, as far as I understand it just tastes like chicken… offer
chicken then!
The wait time at Mi Jardín: This is among the oldest paladares in
the city. It is a quiet and casual place and one of the few that offer
Mexican cuisine. The food is good, they have a Pescado a la
Veracruzana that can be nice and spicy, the Plato Mexicano is a great
way to sample a few dishes, and the Totopos appetizer is really
addictive. But unfortunately not all is good: prepare to wait up to 25
minutes just for the drinks to be served, another long wait for the food,
and if you care for a second drink it is not unusual that you will have to
go and look for the waiter yourself. I mean, the waiters (who are part of
the family that owns the paladar) are very nice, they are just very slow.
So, if you arm yourself with a little patiente you might enjoy this cute
place.
Calle 66 No. 517 esquina a 5ta, Miramar. Tel: 203 4627
UPS:
The fresh pasta at La Corte del Principe: This is one of the newest paladares in Havana. It is a charming
and yet unpretentious establishment with a few tables in a covered porch and with a limited menu written in a
blackboard. The place is nice, the prices are good, service is fantastic… but what is more attractive about this
place is the homemade pastas, they are really good and they are offered with a variety of sauces that are also
very outstanding: four cheeses, carbonara, amatriciana and pesto to name a few. Follow the recommendations
of the owner, Sergio, who will give you personalized service and a detailed description of his Italian creations.
You will want to come back. Beware than even though it is an Italian place, pizza is not served.

Elena's up and downs to dining out in Havana?
by Elena Vega
Baby eels salad at Ivan Justo (aka Aguacate 9): I have to
acknowledge that I might not order baby eels for my last dinner,
actually I might not order baby eels for any dinner; but that is just me,
and I have to say that my Spanish dining accomplices went head over
heals for this menu item at Ivan Justo. Apparently this is one of the very
few restaurants in Havana serving this gourmet tiny creatures. The
paladar is located at Aguacate 9 and often called more by its address
than by its name, it has an interesting menu that includes beef, lamb,
rabbit, suckling pig, paella, appetizers such as the eel’s salad and home
made pastas. The prices are a little bit in the high side, but the place is
very pretty and service is good. No way to lose with this one.
Aguacate 9, esquina Chacón. Habana Vieja. Tel: 863 9697
Hot plate cooking at PPs Teppanyaki: Located in the heart of Vedado this paladar opened just a few
months ago with a Japanese menu that includes a variety of sushi and, of course, teppanyaki, the kind of
Japanese cuisine that involves cooking on a hot plate in front of the customer. The menu at PPs Teppanyaki
includes a variety of meats (shrimp, beef, and pork) prepared and presented in different traditional styles. All
of them were really good during my visit. The skillful cooks explain every step of the cooking process and are
able to make accommodations for any particular taste and answer any question about this cuisine. Prices are
reasonable and reservations are recommended, since there are only two hot plates with about 12 chairs each.
Calle 21 No. 104, apto 4 e/ L y M, Vedado. Tel: 836 2530
Piña Colada at La Casa: La Casa is one of the oldest paladares in
Havana, and it is often missed by many in the expat community
because of its location on a very quiet street in Nuevo Vedado. The
place is nice and has an interesting interior garden. The service,
supervised by owner Alejandro Robaina, is spotless and the food is
fairly good, including the Japanese menu they had on Thursdays. But
one of the high points of this restaurant is their piña coladas; they are
just out of this world. They are served in a carved pineapple and are a
meal in itself made with fresh fruit, a generous serving of rum and ice.
Don’t miss having one of these cocktails!
