best veg food in cuba
We found this in the lonely planet , its was very good food. we even took our friends from Argentina there , they ordered pasta I think , they liked it also.
The casa is spotless , it is a very clean place. The food was very nice made with effort. you have to give your order at lunchtime for dinner so they prepare well.
They are very fair they charge per dish . so if you do not want to eat a lot the price is cheaper
Best vegan and vegetrain food we ate in Cuba, more important was how well organised and clean they are

Guest Reviews
Deisy's house has the best views in the city, they are hosts who know the history very well and with whom it is very nice to have a coffee and listen to what they have to tell. I definitely recommend it and it will be a place to be able to come back! Thank you!
Mis amigos y yo nos alojamos durante nuestro viaje a Cuba, sorprendiéndonos gratamente, pero las habitaciones son muy cómodas, el aire acondicionado funciona muy bien, las camas son muy cómodas. A destacar que el personal es muy atento
Accommodation matches the photos, decorated with taste and with a very nice unobstructed view. We appreciated the size of the room , the storage space for clothes (very rare in Cuba) and the terrace.
It is a very clean place with a very cozy terrace where you can enjoy delicious breakfasts, made with love.
The room was super spacious, clean and comfortable, and the treatment of the people who work there is excellent. I was super comfortable!!
