A TRIO OF OUR FAVE FOOD FARES ••• La Moneda Cubana — In this rare paladar (private restaurant), one finds simplicity in culinary form : chicken, fish and pork surrounded by graffitis and visiting cards; San Ignacio 77 corner Brasil (Teniente Rey) ••• Santo Angel — On a patio overlooking Plaza Vieja, the "new Cuban cuisine" is dear but original and tasty; corner San Ignacio and Brasil (7) 861-1626 ••• La Dominica — Next to the Colegio Universitario de San Gerónimo between Plaza Vieja and Plaza de Armas, its facade opens onto the refurbished surface aqueduct on Mercaderes. Outside or in, we treated our taste buds to pastas and pizzas; moderately expensive; caveat emptor : one of those Cuban spots where "Credit card machine does not work" (ie, they only take cash). Calle O’Reilly 108, corner Mercaderes (7) 860-2918 Partial list of Vieja restaurants here.
