Restaurante Santo Angel
Restaurant

Restaurante Santo Angel

Restaurante Santo Angel sits beside Havana’s Plaza Vieja, with daily Cuban music on its broad porch and a bar area called Don Gaspar.

Restaurante Santo Angel sits beside Plaza Vieja in Havana’s Old Town, where a colonial building and its broad porch set the scene for daily traditional Cuban music. The restaurant has several service areas, including the Don Gaspar bar, and its location puts you right by one of the old quarter’s busiest squares. Prices are considered affordable compared with other Havana restaurants. Come for a drink, the music and the square’s atmosphere; allow extra time if you order a full meal, as food service can be slow.
