If you are a pork eater, you can try local restaurants and taste local dishes.. Pork is very common in Cuban cuisine dishes.. But of course, depending on the main dish you choose on your plate, there are usually side dishes such as black beans, rice, fried bananas, salad or sweet potatoes. As I said, there are dishes for every pocket.
For example, Margaritta Pizza varies between 2 Cuc – 5 Cuc, Meat dishes 4-5 Cuc, Chicken dishes 3 – 9 Cuc, depending on the type of seafood it varies between 6 – 13 Cuc. Since we were traveling with 5 people, we had an average of 10 – 15 Cuc daily food costs.
If you can find places that sell only with the local currency CUP, you are lucky (provided that you are a little brunette, of course) at the price that real Cubans eat. you can eat your meals. That’s why I would say that Cuban cuisine prices are divided into two as tourists and Cubans.

As for water prices. Prices vary everywhere.. You can get 500 ml of closed water between 0.50 – 1 Cuc, 1.5 liters of water between 0.85 – 1.5 Cuc. How is it? I figured this one out later on.

As you know Cuba, Rum heaven. At this point, I will point out something very important.. Be the first to mention Bacardi there.. Since Bacardi helped Batista in his time, the only rum in Cuba remained Havana Club and apart from that, there are two or three different brands like Santiago de Cuba.
Rum is sold everywhere in Cuba and the price is almost constant and 3 Cuc. Some bars and restaurants offer special discounts at certain hours and prices drop to 1.5 Cuc.. In luxury places, of course, these prices are around 5-6 Cuc.

“I shouldn’t return without drinking in Cuba. ?” If you ask, don’t come back from Cuba without drinking the cocktails of the same name at the Daiquiri Papa Hemingway in Havana Floridita (aka Ernest Hemingway’s place), Pina Colada in Vinales, and La Canchanchara in Trinidad.
There will also be those who ask what is Cuban local beer. Cristal is lighter and Bucanero is heavier beer brands.
