Paladar Ache
Paladar Aché
One of Cienfuegos's earliest private restaurants, with consistently praised grilled fish, garlic shrimp and caramel custard.
Located at Avenida 38 No. 4106 in a quiet residential area near the start of the Malecón, it is one of the first private restaurants to open in the city and has long ranked near the top of review lists. The signature dishes are grilled fish of the day and garlic-grilled shrimp, served with rice, vegetables and fried banana chips. Lobster, octopus and black rice are also often mentioned, and the caramel custard and mojitos are well liked. The decor is elegant, and prices are high for the area. Some reviewers say the menu has shrunk, so check that the restaurant is open before you go.
