Restaurante Habana La Macarena

In the heart of Bogotá, I had not to travel far to entertain my palette with the delights of Cuba. And delighted they were. For my expectations were surpassed by a furlong or more! Firstly, I should address the matter of portion sizes. Those who know me know I enjoy to eat. A lot. The portions were large not too large mind, but certainly large enough. Even the starter was of generous size. Every spoon or fork full was a delight to behold. The meat was beautifully tender. The wonderful combination of tastes and colourful environs was almost enough to fool me that I had stepped out of Colombia into Cuba. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The owner who is Cuban regaled me of stories of his homeland. Certainly I should like to go back to sample the live music, which I am sure to would only add to the experience!
