The restaurant was more of a high class place to eat but was very good food in an open atmosphere. The best meal there was the Lobster and seafood platter for two.

Went here as my husband was craving a good steak. Service was good, friendly staff and reasonably priced. It was so good we went back again before returning home.

It was too pricey, the steak had some kind of bland gravy on it. The Lobster $$ was way too over cooked and it didn't smell that good. I did enjoy the wine. I just couldn't keep the food down during dinner. I regret going here, Varadero 60 is the place to go!!!

You have to be patient to eat here. The service is as slow as molasses in January. Slow even in Cuban standards. The food is always good however. Try the Canadian Beef. The best house soup in Varadero.

Been past this restaurant for the last 13 years but never stopped in, until now, invited our Cuban friends along, everything was great, food, drinks, service and atmosphere, Barbacoa deserves a return

Went here with my boyfriend and another couple. My boyfriend and I had the chicken parm to split as we both weren't too hungry and the server was so nice he divided the chicken up on two plates and gave us both or own rice and salad. Restaurants at home don't even do that for you.... we didn't even ask... More

This place is located right beside the Barcelo Solymar Arenas Blancas Resort and was pretty good. I had ordered the onion soup and the grilled lobster that came with rice, potatoes and vegetables. I'm not a big fan of soup but I can honestly say that this onion soup was probably the best I've ever had! Went back on my... More
