Best Restaurant in Havana Centre. My suggestion is to book first. I celebrated my mother's birthday here, everybody was very happy with the food. We had a private room which was the room used by Obama and his family during their visit to Cuba. The atmosphere and service was amazing, excellent restaurant.

ALso, FYI: Jose Marti is a national poetry.

You are in Aguila y Neptuno! You have to going out the building, turn right and take the taxi.
My suggestion during peak hours is go up to Prado y Neptuno, 3 blocks back so you don't waste any time waiting to hire an entire taxi.
