We had a great great lunch here. My only regret is that I wish it had been a dinner, because the amount and quality of food was top-notch and it'd be an even-better dinner spot. The band that usually performs here -- Cuarteto Isla -- is perfect. They play "real" Cuban music (not American covers) and they are very skillful,... More

Sol Ananda provided us with one of our best meals in Cuba. The location, close to Plaza Mayor, is great and the restaurant itself has a charming ambience. The decor is very colonial and the table ware antique. Service is good. The menu is very extensive and eclectic - choosing what to eat was therefore not easy. However, we were... More

After reading other reviews on TA we booked here in the 'bedroom' for our Saturday evening meal and were not disappointed. The food was good by Cuban standards but I would say to go here more for the overall experience. The Isla quartet sang a few songs in the bedroom and to be serenaded by such a talented group performing... More

This paladar has a prime location at a corner of the Plaza Major. The decor, the table settings, the artifacts are out of this world as they belong to another time. There is an extensive menu with a distinctive cuban influence on cuisine from all over the world. The service is excellent. We had dined there. The following evening we... More

Stumbled upon this while visiting Plaza Mayor. Great food and extensive menu -- wonderful fusion of Cuban and foreign influences such as Indian and Italian. Reasonable prices. The decor is fabulous, and the entertainment on the day I lunched there was really interesting. Highly recommend it. More

I dined at this restaurant twice--once for dinner with a friend and once for lunch with a group. Both times, the food was great and the entertainment really fabulous. The decor is delightful, the location very central (right on Plaza Mayor) and the staff attentive. I would encourage anyone visiting Trinidad to enjoy an meal at the wonderful restaurant. More

The food and service were very good. The live music was appropriate and relaxing. The bedroom setting has to be used and it was good to see that there was no way they were going to squeeze in extra customers or try to get another cover of the table. More

Hard to add anything new to these other enthusiastic reviews! The house has an elegant slightly faded colonial charm; the place settings are exquisite, and the musicians add more contemporary charm! We were there twice - once with a group of about 12, and once as a twosome. Both times the service was excellent, and the food delicious. The best... More

From the moment I looked into the restaurant on my afternoon stroll around this historic town to the last adios at the end of our meal, this restaurant was a dining experience I will always remember. I looked into the main dining room and admired the lovely antiques and decor of this former residence now turned into Sol Ananda. The... More

Sol Ananda was by a mile the best restaurant we tried in anywhere in Cuba. A Paladar as demonstrated by a bed being in one of the dining rooms to prove that this is a modest house, but like no other. We were stunned by the huge menu of choices, quality of the food, but even more by the decor... More
