D'Next

Habana Vieja


On the cusp of trendy Plaza del Cristo, the much-loved D’Next is ridiculously cheap, ridiculously busy and ridiculously good. Decorated sports-bar style with plastic seats and paper menus, it’s particularly popular with young Cubans for its cheap burgers, icy air-conditioning and late-night cake indulgences.

Try a large dollop of tres leches cake with a fruit batido (shake) at around 11:30pm and come back in the morning for the CUC$3.95 American breakfast. Table service is as sharp as the fluorescent spotlights.
