This place is so cool. Definitely hard to find, as it is located on a questionable looking street in Centro Havana. Especially if you try to find it at 10pm, our cab driver did not even know where it was. We had to ask one of the policeman. Walking into the building, you will immediately question where you are going,... more

This fantastic restaurant is located in a dilapidated tenement building but don't let that put you off!! The entrance is through a ground floor which is completly unfurnished, and then you ascend concrete stairs with no bannisters. But on the first floor you enter an elegantly furnished apartment which is full of little nooks and crannies. It really gives you... more

One of my highlights in Havana. Walking up the stairs I knew it would be something special! The food was delicious and atmosphere amazing- you HAVE to go here! more

Great restaurant. If you are open to new things and you like to see deep inside on the places you travel this is a “MUST” in la Habana.

La Guarida may be the most famous paladar in Havana but I was disapointed with the food. Entering the crumbling apartment building was an experience if you cannot manage stairs you may have a problem. The restauarnt is is quaint and the staff are very frendly. The food was very pricey for havana and I am sorry to say it... more

the food was very good,however for one of the best restaurants in havana i would expect a better location ,not somewhere in the middle of an appartment building devastated by the time and the misery,where you can "enjoy" views of appartments of the locals on the way to the 3 floor where the rest. is the interior is pretty much... more

I'm a New Yorker living in Grand Cayman who went to Cuba for the first time over Easter weekend. I had high expectations for the food because Cuban food in NYC is great. La Guarida DID NOT disappoint!!! This place was recomended to us and was the only MUST DO on our list. We did make reservations by phone about... more
