This restaurant was recommended by a local resident. I would be remiss not to share a comment he provided us. "Be careful not to fall for the scammers who will try to hustle you to their restaurant." This turned out to be very true. You...see, Dona Eutimia is located at the back end of a tiny street, and there are numerous other restaurants in the same alley with staff out front to try and lure you to their restaurant. These other establishments may very well offer good food as well, I don't know. But I do know they try aggressively to prevent you from getting back to Dona Eutimia! Dona Eutimia offers both indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for inside and were amused by the tiny spiral staircase leading us to the second floor. (We were astonished watching waitstaff speedily go up and down these stairs while carrying plates of food!!) Of all the restaurants we visited during this trip to Havana, this location had the best drinks, hands down. Most at our table had mojitos or caipirinhas, but I opted for a cubanita (not knowing what it was). Turns out it is a variation of a bloody Mary, using rum rather than vodka. It became my drink of choice throughout the rest of our visit to Havana, and no one made a better version of it than Dona Eutimia. Very spicy!! The service was wonderful, and the waitstaff were all very helpful and informative. I LOVE frituras de malanga, and theirs were outstanding. The honey dipping sauce wasn't needed, the fritters were delicious on their own! I also had the Nicoise Salad, which was a beautifully presented dish, and very tasty. Other dishes at our table included chicken and pork, and everyone was delighted with their selections. It was an extremely satisfying lunch, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was delightful. We were so pleased to have had Dona Eutimia recommended to us. We will most certainly return on our next visit to Havana.More
