Palacio de Valle

Cienfuegos


The food doesn't have as many decorative flourishes as the eclectic architecture, but the setting is unique and it would be a shame to miss it. Seafood dominates the menu downstairs; if you aren't enthralled, use the rooftop bar here for a pre-dinner cocktail or post-dinner cigar.
