Roy's Terrace Inn Roof Garden Restaurant

Top choice in Santiago de Cuba


If only the rest of Cuba could harness this formula: quality homemade food, caring service and excellent atmosphere. Reserve one day ahead for one of only six rooftop tables surrounded by tumbling flowers in candlelight. Cocktails deliver and family-style servings come overflowing. Fish, chicken or pork are served with sides such as crispy tamales or sautéed eggplant. Vegans and vegetarians welcome.
