Lo de Monik

Not just another gem

November 19, 2020

After decades of a very boring set of options, Cuba's culinary scene seems to have taken off. If one single venue were asked to prove the aforementioned statement, the restaurant Lo de Monik would definitely stand out as a symbol.

Few menu lineups can cover such a wide cooking spectrum, and more in Cuba, where scarcity forces food restaurateurs to use magic and love in huge proportions.

Surprisingly Lo de Monik has managed to perfectly cater the character of an American breakfast and a signature several steps Mediterranean full course. Maybe it's been love. Maybe it's magic. The fact is that the result of this little restaurant in the items and preparations they defend, can be just described as amazing!

You will be in the area. That is for sure. It's not easy to skip hanging out in Old Havana and particularly around the set of blocks where the restaurant is located, right on the corner of Chacón and Compostela, a few steps from famous landmarks such as the National Museum of Fine Arts and the Revolution Museum. So once you realized that you have stepped into the noisy streets of the historic center of Old Havana, let yourself go and swing by Lo de Monik. You will not regret visiting this gem of the most current Cuban culinary restoration.
