The best and also most authentic cuisine is found at the Casa Particulares (homestays) and the Paladares (restaurants in peoples' houses). Meat features very heavily in Cuban cuisine. Pork and chicken are very common in Cuba but beef is slightly harder to come by because all livestock in Cuba is government property and therefore subject to official rationing and regulations.

Food is generally heavy and fattening with garlic and onion most commonly used as flavouring. Spices are rarely used and the food is definitely not hot. Vegetables do not feature much apart from small side salads. Hence vegetarians are not very well catered for apart from Rice and Beans.
