La Makina Gastro Bar, Havana - Restaurant Reviews, Phone Number & Photos

Our first encounter with this restaurant was when we met a young man on the street, encouraging us to visit the restaurant. We had other plans but promised to come back and we did. It is a magical little place on a narrow street in...old Havana. It is on two levels: street level and a dining room and terrace on the second floor. The staff are so friendly! Many if not all of them speak English which helps if you are Spanish-challenged. The food is a wide variety of Cuban food. Very beautifully presented and very tasty. Back in Canada now wishing I could be there tonight for dinner. We were there four times. Twice we were there ourselves and twice we took guests who were very impressed and enjoyed the place a great deal...More

Fabulous small restaurant

I have been here four times and the food, presentation, waitstaff and decor is outstanding. It is very near the Museum of the Revolution in Havana. On two occasions, Alberto was our server and he as well as others are terrific. The servers are not...intrusive but are there to meet your every need. The Ropa Vieja and civiche are spectacular as well as cocktails. I can't say enough about this wonderful and inexpensive restaurant!More

Lovely experience

On our last visit, we went to this restaurant for dinner twice. It was recommended to us by our host Maria. Lovely little spot on the terrace with live music. The cocktails were great and the food was just out of this world. We had...lobster tails cooked to perfection. The girl serving us spoke passable English. I wish we had asked for her name to compliment her for her caring and always smiling nature. Would highly recommend.More

Reasonable prices, good daiquiris, and delicious food

We like eating on the balcony. Everything is good - service, drinks, food. One evening there was live music, an excellent duo with wonderful voices.

Fantastic Meal on the Terrace!

This restaurant is located right next to the Museo de la Revolución (down a side street). We stopped by for lunch and got the octopus with mango, malanga, fish fillet, and a bread basket. All were delicious and reasonably priced. The octopus was my favorite...that I had in Cuba. Make sure to site upstairs on the terrace!More

Great food with great atmosphere

It is small but it is a great stop for good drinks and great food. The ceviche was fantastic. Didn't have time to eat a second meal there but definitely tried.
