Tryp Habana Libre Hotel, Havana City Cuba. 4 stars.

The Habana Libre has an excellent cafeteria and grill, and the restaurants are delightful:

The Polinesio restaurant and bar: Peerless service for over 40 years has made this one of Havana’s best restaurants for Asian food.

El Barracón restaurant and bar: With some of the most authentic Cuban food in town, this eating place is done as a bohío (Cuban peasant hut or cabin). Complete with lanterns, saddles, wooden tables and stools. The private room fits 15, and is perfect for intimate dinners settled in amongst the cedar furniture and wine racks. The house specialties are bona fide representations of the best from this island, and come from many different regions. The Shredded Tasajo (once horse jerky, now made from beef) a la Piña de Ciego is not to be missed. Nor are the fried plantains, tamal casserole, stewed country style chicken, malanga fritters and more.
