A pianist plays on a baby grand, chefs work artistically behind a glass partition in the kitchen, and a waiter carves Chateaubriand at your table. New York? Paris? No, the former culinary wasteland of Matanzas. A testament to how things have changed in Cuba is this charming restaurant facing the bay in the city's Versalles quarter.
Starched tablecloths play host to well-executed Cuban food backed up by pizza and pasta.
