The best in a quartet of private places in Playa Girón, this family-run joint, known colloquially as Carlito’s, serves what might be the cheapest lobster in Cuba – CUC$7 for a generous portion served with mini-mountains of rice, root veg and salad. Crab, dorado and prawns also available. Served under a thatched shade behind a one-story family home.
