Doña Eutimia

A popular restaurant tucked away in an alley next to the Plaza de la Catedral, famous for its lamb-based Ropa Vieja.

Located at the end of Callejón del Chorro, an alley right off Old Havana's Plaza de la Catedral, this restaurant features outdoor seating in the alley where musicians often perform. The signature Ropa Vieja del Chorro is shredded lamb stewed in a tomato-based sauce, served with white rice and black beans. You can also try the caramelized fried pork served with mashed plantains. The place is small and crowded, so it is recommended to avoid peak dining hours or book in advance. There are often touts from other restaurants in the alley, so make sure to look for the correct sign. The average spend is about $15–25 USD, with a 10% service charge added to the bill. The location is immediately adjacent to the Cathedral Square.
