The romantically named five feelings (5 sentidos) ought to excite at least three of yours. The open kitchen allows for the free circulation of inviting aromas, the French-bistro decor (all painted wood and elegant chandeliers) is pleasing to the eye, and your taste buds won’t leave unstimulated after you’ve savored the ceviche, octopus or melt-in-the-mouth lamb stew.
Cuba’s reputation as a place to skip dessert comes a cropper here, too. The multi-textured ‘chocolat’ or the cream cheese coated in guava glaze could compete with anything in Michelin-starred, celebrity-chef-obsessed Europe or North America. The discreet but sharp service is similarly world class.
