Café del Oriente Restaurant
Café del Oriente is a Gourmet Restaurant that prides itself on being one of the most luxurious spots in Havana. It has two rooms, the bar cafe, on the ground floor, with a fantastic bar, around which there are stools, tables and Pullman benches; and the five forks restaurant, on the upper floor, which stands out majestically for its soft tones and elegant furniture, combined with curtains and tapestry, under a great colorful stained glass skylight, a work by Cuban visual artist Rosa María de la Terga.

Elegance and a fine service are the main hallmarks of this house devoted to culinary arts, which provides discerning gourmets with over sixty dishes of original recipes from Europe, the Middle East and Cuba. The restaurant was opened on December 17, 1997 by the then Director General of UNESCO, Federico Mayor Zaragoza and the City Historian, Eusebio Leal Spengler.
Situated in the vicinity of St. Francis of Assisi Square, Café del Oriente recreates architectural neoclassic trends. Its beautiful dressed-stone façade stands out in harmony with the neighboring office building known as Lonja del Comercio.
As a result of its work team’s ingenuity, Café del Oriente has developed its own and ground-breaking author’s cuisine in which unique recipes are combined from a careful selection of ingredients, unusual flavors in a single meal and beautifully presented dishes with a bold plating that enhances a variety of textures, flavors, colors and aromas. All of this makes their cuisine an exclusive product in the city.
