One special evening in Cuba
At the entrance to the bay of Havana stands a castle tower . Built in 1585 , El Morro protected the people of Havana from pirates and corsairs and over the centuries , through wars , much damage and reconstruction , it has become an iconic symbol of the history of Cuba . Today El Morro is the centre of a lively cultural life and it is with respect for this important landmark that Restaurante El Morro de la Habana was named .
Step inside and relish the experience of ‘ one day in Cuba ’, where original Cuban artifacts decorate the walls and musicians play Latino rhythms . The intimate courtyard area has a beautiful water feature and a mock ‘ beach bar ’ with a complete menu for Mojito ’ s alone !
El Morro de la Habana serves the best of Cuban dishes , with sharing starters such as Havana Nights - an assortment of pork chunks , potato filled with steak strips , fried sweet plantains wrapped in bacon , tomale and fried plantains with black bean hummus and main courses which include Gambas Camaguey - prawns in Creole sauce , onions , green peppers , wine and tomato sauce with rice and fried plantains and El Matancero - slow roasted pork leg with mojito garlic sauce , rice , black beans and cassava in mojo sauce .
Black rice , plantains , mojo sauce , sweet potatoes and cassava are typically served in Cuban cuisine and make a delicious and refreshing change from usual menus .
The staff at El Morro are also exemplary - courteous and attentive , and we had a wonderful evening . It was finished with house desserts which included Cuban Bread Pudding and Guava Cheesecake . Just one note : Go hungry as the portions are substantial ! To make a reservation call : 952 886 559 ( See also page opposite )
