About this spot
Ranchón La Giraldilla is one of the best spots in Vedado, Havana. Cuban food is simple but soulful — slow-cooked meats, rice and beans, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like family.
💡 Tips before you go
- Paladares (private home restaurants) are where the best food is — not state-run spots
- Bring cash — cards barely work in Cuba
- Ask your casa particular host for restaurant recommendations — they know the best spots
- Mojitos are a way of life — but try a daiquiri too (Hemingway's favorite)
