traveler reviews
The dining experience at La Giraldilla restaurant was very memorable. We went in the evening. We were able to reserve a table with a view and experienced the cannon event at the fort across the bay. The restaurant is beautiful and the table in the balcony overlooking the bay was amazing! We heard the cannons going off from the fort across the bay! What an experience! The restaurant owner and family welcomed us with open arms and made us feel like family. And the food was amazing! Having the opportunity to book a restaurant ahead of the trip was a big plus. Booking was easy and we would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Havana. Go for the food, stay for the cannon experience, and enjoy a romantic evening at La Giraldilla! You will not regret it!
