Mediterráneo Havana and Vista Hermosa
In the center of the capital’s El Vedado we find the Mediterráneo Havana, a pioneer restaurant on the From Farm to Table platform. Vista Hermosa is the farm that places the products on its healthy and nutritious table. Of the many establishments that offer the demanded service, this is one of the few that is an invitation to genuinely and completely live the complete experience. The peculiar farm awaits us a few kilometers from the busy city life. It belongs to the Emiliano Montes de Oca Cooperative, the province’s biggest producer of goat milk and one of the region’s mayor suppliers of meat. In it you can enjoy the authentic countryside environment, see the making of cheeses and sausages, among other agricultural tasks. The farm also offers a typical country restaurant and a guateque country party to liven up the suppers. Natural and very fresh products can be tasted in both restaurants.
