Cuban gastronomy is the result of a rich fusion of Taíno, Spanish, African and Caribbean influences. It is home-made cuisine, tasty and unpretentious, based on the use of local resources. Pork, chicken, rice, beans and root vegetables (tubers such as cassava or sweet potato) are the stars of the Cuban table.
Considered the national dish of Cuba. It is shredded beef stewed in a tasty tomato sauce with peppers, onion and spices. Its name is due to its appearance, which is reminiscent of shreds of old clothing.
A ubiquitous dish consisting of rice cooked together with black beans, the rice taking on the dark color of the beans. Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, congrí usually refers to the mixture with red beans.
The festive dish par excellence, especially at Christmas and New Year's Eve. It is a whole pig slowly roasted, often on a spike over hot coals, until the skin is crispy ('chicharrón') and the meat is juicy and tender.
Cassava, a tuber of indigenous origin, is boiled until tender and served with a garlic 'mojo'. This sauce is prepared with crushed garlic, hot oil, salt and sour orange or lemon juice.
A strong soup or stew that represents the Cuban mestizaje. It has different types of meats and a wide variety of foods such as corn, cassava, taro and pumpkin, creating a rich and substantial dish.
Similar to ropa Vieja but without tomato sauce. The beef, previously cooked and shredded, is fried in oil until crispy. Served with sautéed onions and a squeeze of lemon.
The national drink par excellence. Cuba is the birthplace of world-famous rums such as Havana Club or Santiago de Cuba. It can be enjoyed alone, with ice, or as a base for the island's most famous cocktails.

The most international Cuban cocktail. A refreshing blend of white rum, mint, sugar, lime juice, ice and sparkling water. La Bodeguita del Medio in Havana is credited with its fame.
Another iconic cocktail, immortalized by Ernest Hemingway in El Floridita. In its classic version, it is a shaken mixture of white rum, lime juice, sugar and frappe ice, creating a kind of slushie.
The juice extracted directly from sugar cane, an incredibly sweet and refreshing drink. It is sold in street stalls where the cane is passed through a sugar mill (mill) at the moment.

Coffee in Cuba is a ritual. It is prepared strong, dark and served in small cups. It is traditionally sweetened directly in the coffee maker when brewed, creating a layer of sweet foam ('espumita').
A very creamy version of flan, often made with condensed milk and evaporated milk, giving it a dense texture. It is served dipped in liquid caramel.
A very spongy cake that is soaked in a mixture of three types of milk: evaporated, condensed and heavy cream. It is an incredibly moist and sweet dessert.
Small puff pastries filled with pasta or guava jam. Sometimes they also have cream cheese, creating a delicious contrast of flavors.
A traditional fry, especially at Christmas. A dough is made from boiled cassava and sweet potato, shaped into a bow or number eight and fried. They are served bathed in a cinnamon syrup.
