Charming spot with an odd layout. Somewhat unique menu for Havana if you get bored of the typical "Grilled everything". We had quesadillas that were top notch with very high quality guacamole and hand made salsa. Great for both lunch and dinner for smaller groups.

Great location in one of the most authentic squares downtown, and very cozy decoration. Tried the coffee there and it was really good. I just wish there is no habit of stressing the customers that I see almost everywhere in Havana cafes, and where the waiters come to you every second minute to ask you if you’d like to order something more!!

Great place for cocktails and a light meal. We had their tacos and bruschetta, along with cocktails. We loved the food so much we immediately went back the next day (and ordered the same thing). They even agreed to pour us two wines to go, and put them in plastic (not disposable) cups. It’s right on a corner so good for people watching. Casual atmosphere.

We really loved the Cafe El Dandy. The food was absolutely amazing. We were there for breakfast, lunch as well as dinner and were never disappointed. Every dish was delicious. The staff were amazing. They all had a really great vibe and made the whole experience special. The Ambiente was really cool and comfortable. I can absolutely recommend this lovely place!

Huevos rancheros here were delicious. They brought out a spicy sauce that was delish too. I had a beautiful juice that was amazing. It had beet, ginger, pineapple...I don't know what was in it but she recommended it when I asked for jugo natural. Our server was so cute.
