Havana
Finding a balance by attracting Cubans (with economical prices and traditional recipes) and tourists (with creative 'fusion' touches), hip C&T is a bistro-style restaurant encased by the Centro Habana 'hood. High-quality, adventurous food, such as lamb with masala or chicken in orange sauce, is backed up with Cuban classics (lashings of rice and beans are served on the side).
Look out for the blackboard specials and admire the artistic presentation of your food when it arrives.
