Description:
Traditional and high quality Cuban food is a tricky issue to tackle in the majority of restaurants pretending to serve the hefty dishes from the Caribbean nation. Fortunately Ilhe Habana is not amongst the selection of great pretenders as proven once the starter platters hit your table. The
ropa vieja will likely keep you full for going on two days as the staff here ensure that the food sticks to your ribs and that there is plenty of it. Try the
vaca frita, the
Picadillo a la Habana, wash it down with fine Cuban rums and finish off your decadent Marti style lunch/dinner with a
Cohiba cigar. As you can imagine there are all sorts of cultural events that take place up here in the Ilhe Habana, most revolve around salsa dances and of course the ubiquitous dance classes for the more pigeon toed.
