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. In A very old and “creepy” neighborhood, once you arrive to the restaurant you feel a very special atmosphere. I went with my wife for dinner; we were seated in the balcony.... more

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

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

I visited this hotel on recommendation from my parents who had been when they visited Havana and am pleased I did. It is highly recommended to book a few days in advance (the Guest Services at the hotel we stayed at in Varadero did this for me) and then you have to reconfirm on the day. We booked for 7.30... more
