A high-class Italian getaway at Decameron

Dinner for four at Le Cameron might run you close to 200 CUC, but few restaurants in Havana offer the same kind of getaway experience. The long-standing Italian restaurant is remarkably calm and private, away from the buzz of the streets. Start with a bottle of Jacquart Champagne, priced at a very reasonable 35CUC, before jumping into octopus paired with sweet bell peppers and empanadas stuffed with yucca and crab. Standout entrees include baby shrimp scented with coconut juice and ginger and one beautifully medium-rare Canadian beef filet smothered in a hearty mushroom-onion cream sauce. It’s worth the drive from Central Havana to Vedado. Linea Number 753, Vedado, Havana 10400, +5378322444
