Santiago 1900

Description:

• Beyond the doorman controlling access with antique red-leather ropes on brass stanchions lies an elegant and reasonably priced restaurant. There are several interior dining rooms, as well as a wonderful open-air ground-floor patio with a stone fountain in its center, and two open-air spaces on the second-floor balcony. Some of the tables up here have a good view of the city's church steeples. The menu is pretty standard Cuban fare, but it is very well prepared, and the ambience is intriguing. This place attracts a mixed Cuban and foreign clientele.
