And nearly every single islander nurtures a love affair with spit-roasted suckling pork. To many Cubans, piles of delicious veg and aromatic herbs do not a meal make. The island has come a long way, though, in food choices. In the late 90s, meals were served with a single salad leaf! Today, vegetarian, and vegan restaurants are not common but if you know where to go, you\u2019ll find fresh, organic, tasty meals.<\/p>\n<p>For the only true vegan restaurant in the country, you\u2019ll need to head to Baracoa, more than 600 miles from capital Havana. Chef Aristides Smith preps delicious food and regional specialities using local fruits and veg from Baracoa\u2019s lush fields and forests. Bread and tortillas made from yuca flour known as <em>casabe<\/em> or cassava, feature heavily, as do the tastiest local tomatoes, salad leaves, and rice dishes. <strong>Restaurant Baracoando <\/strong>has been created out of a hurricane-shattered home belonging to Smith. Guests sit in his rustic garden and will be regaled with tales of Smith\u2019s life and cooking. Smith is also on a mission to teach Baracoa\u2019s youngsters how to prepare healthy food. Don\u2019t miss this memorable spot in eastern Cuba!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2046 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture1.jpg\" alt=\"Vegetarian and vegan friendly restaurants in Cuba - Restaurant Baracoando\" width=\"418\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture1.jpg 418w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 418px) 100vw, 418px\" \/><strong>Restaurant Baracoando<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another trailblazing spot is <strong>El Romero<\/strong> in eco-community Las Terrazas, just an hour southwest of Havana. It was set up by vegetarian pioneer Tito N\u00fa\u00f1ez Gud\u00e1s. Tito dabbled in vegetarian cooking at the restaurant in Havana\u2019s botanic gardens after Cuba\u2019s supply lines dwindled following the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 90s. El Romero, with an idyllic terrace overlooking San Juan Lake, has its own organic garden, solar farm, aromatic plant beds and bees, and sources other ingredients it can\u2019t find in the local community that have as few food miles as possible. All waste is recycled. You\u2019ll find reviving fresh juices, lots of soups and salads, eggplant steaks, and tempura. I rarely eat anywhere else in Las Terrazas, the food is so good.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2047 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture2.jpg\" alt=\"Vegetarian and vegan friendly restaurants in Cuba - El Romaero\" width=\"942\" height=\"703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture2.jpg 942w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture2-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture2-768x573.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Picture2-750x560.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>El Romaero<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Havana, seek out the superlative Camino al Sol, and Oasis Nelva, El Caf\u00e9 and Lo de Monik. <strong>Camino al Sol<\/strong>, behind Hotel Melia Cohiba in el Vedado neighbourhood, is a magnet for vegetarians and vegans.
