Lazaro "Lachi" - Gourmet dining in Havana

[Nino]

Continuing on my experiences in Havana during my last trip :

You lose some, you win some, you never know what's next.

That might be the culinary motto in Havana where Paladares will open and close and cooks make a place tall or fall.

My greatest disappointment this trip was the down fall of La Moraleja, a paladar that I loved for its atmosphere, the food, the service, basically my favourite of them all.

But as soon as I stepped inside the charmed garden locale this time I knew the magic was gone....

Good stuff, and great photos, Nino

As for Rio Mar - we ate there 4 times.... So it's clear we liked it i was a big fan of the pork ribs!! Our mate Gary ate there at least once nearly every day!

Sure :

Paladar "Italia en Cuba"

Calle 20 # 721 entre 7-ma y 9-na

Miramar

207 4412

But ring ahead and make sure Lazaro cooks - he's only on-site Thu to Sun.

And he has a 6 month contract with just 3 more left there ...

Last time a chef became too "famous," it didn't end well, right?

It sure looks appetizing Nino.

Da läuft einem das Wasser im Munde zusammen.

I agree. I missed out on Rio Mar, so these two will have to be on the itinerary...
