El Templete's the jewel in Old Havana's culinary crown. Its Gallego chef´s Arkaitz Etxarte sophisticatedly simple take on traditional ingredients gladdens the hearts of Havana foodies, who flock to El Templete for his mango duck and chateaubriand accompanied by delightful side dishes and a short but wellchosen wine list. Puddings are Lucullan, too — no — one should leave Havana without experiencing the chocolate brownies (Bohio de Chocolate). The Templete's right by the harbour — best to get a table inside so as not to be engulfed in carbon monoxide by passing lorries, but be sure to get a table by a window to watch the Regla ferry bustling to and fro across the harbour.

arroz con frijoles...

El Aljibe tiene como especialidad el arroz blanco con frijoles negros, papas, plátanos fritos y ensalada, plato creado por la familia que fundó el primer restaurante en la finca del mismo nombre, un rancho de madera con hojas de palma forrando el techo.

This elegant little restaurant sits just off the Plaza San Francisco and, when the weather permits, features a few outdoor tables. Inside you'll find a cool, large room, with a beautiful patterned marble floor, high ceilings, and dark wainscoting on the walls. In the center of the restaurant is a large U-shaped bar. The menu here is one of the more extravagant in Havana, with entrees that include fried frogs' legs and steamed mussels with truffle sauce. For the main course, I like the stewed rabbit with figs and truffles, or the fresh sole in an anchovy sauce. Even if you don't take a full meal here, this is a great place to stop for a drink or cup of coffee while touring Old Havana. In fact, it's open daily 24 hours for a very late night or early morning pick-me-up.

This is the best Italian restaurant in town. Skip the formal and stuffy seating inside and grab one of the outdoor tables under a canvas umbrella on the old brick streets. If the band were playing "'O Sole Mio" instead of "Guantanamera," you might almost forget you're in Havana and think you were dining at a sidewalk trattoria in Rome. There's a wood-burning oven turning out excellent thin-crust pizzas. The pastas are cooked al dente and served in big portions. My favorite is the penne alla pulcinella, which comes in a tomato cream sauce seasoned with anchovies and caviar. For main dishes I'd recommend the saltimbocca alla Romana or the veal alla pizzaiola. Finish everything off with some cassata sicilliana and an espresso.
