What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Fangio Habana offers a chic atmosphere and generally good food, with highlights like the tenderloin of beef and Peruvian ceviche receiving praise. Diners often appreciate the professional service and the romantic ambiance, especially during sunset or with live music. However, some guests have reported issues with food quality not matching the high prices, limited menu options, and occasional service lapses, including finding hair in food.
"UPDATE: The food and service are still top-notch! Ask for servers Claudia in the morning and Christian in the evening. They will treat you right!
We love the food here, high-quality beef including entrecote, beef roast, and pasta such as four cheese gnocchi. Scrumptious desserts and friendly, high-quality servers will bring us back again! There is live music on the terrace on top of the Claxon Hotel and a full menu restaurant in the garden behind the hotel. Wait until the sun goes down for white tablecloths and romantic lighting to appear in the garden."

"While visiting Havana, I decided to try this place for brunch based on a friend’s recommendation, but it was a complete disappointment. Upon arrival, I found that part of the brunch menu was unavailable. The chairs and tables were dirty, which set a poor tone. When my glass of juice was served, it took 15 minutes for them to bring sugar, and there were no napkins provided. To make matters worse, I found hair in the food, which was extremely off-putting. The “crepes” were nothing more than poorly processed, frozen pancakes, and the fruit was far from fresh. I cannot recommend this place at all. There are far better options in Havana."

"Very expensive food, for bad quality,
We were also forced to pay 1000 CUP per person for a live band, which only started when we finished our diner.
There are also so little items on the menu."

The Coolest Places to explore in Havana
The Argentinian racing driver Juan Manuel Fangio had a rocky relationship with Cuba. In 1958, rebels from Fidel Castro’s M-26 group kidnapped him from Havana’s Hotel Lincoln on the eve of the Cuban Grand Prix before releasing him unharmed less than two days later. In the circumstances, it’s perhaps not surprising to find a restaurant named after the sports star.
Restaurants in Havana We Think Are Better Than La Guarida
Located at the Claxon Hotel Boutique in Vedado, Fangio offers a limited, but delicious menu of fish, pasta, salad and vegetarian dishes. With seating indoors, outdoors in the gardens, front portico or rooftop, this is a great option for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They often have live music at night, landing them on our culture nightlife picks as well!

The standout on the menu at Fangio inside the new Hotel Claxon in el Vedado is the tenderest pork cheeks in a Thai curry. At nearby Grados the dedicated owner-chef revives old Cuban recipes in his family’s home.
