That word also refers us to a whole philosophy associated with the restoration, origin and preparation of food products, also known as gastrosophy. The term gourmet, refers to serving and presenting a table, which involves dressing well, good music, and a real bon vivant lifestyle that sublimates pleasures and makes them into spectacle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cuba is going through a gastronomy boom. The perception of basic gastronomy left by the harshest years of economic crisis has been left behind, and excellence is striving to take over, to find a space among the new businesses that are opening. Traditional Cuban cooking is adopting other nuances. Good cuisine is being made from what can be found at the market, and the standards of the most refined palate are being raised.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This momentum is being checked by difficult access to fresh and exclusive products and the impossibility of importing many raw materials that are essential for high-level food services. In the context of the island\u2019s current economic opening, OnCuba selected some of the best restaurants in Havana and launched this questions: Does gourmet exist in Cuba?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oncubanews.com\/wmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Castropol_0605.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-27446\" alt=\"Castropol_0605\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oncubanews.com\/wmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Castropol_0605-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Castropol_0605-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Castropol_0605-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Castropol_0605-245x245.jpg 245w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Castropol_0605-32x32.jpg 32w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Castropol_0605-64x64.jpg 64w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Castropol_0605-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Castropol_0605-128x128.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <strong>\u00a0Adri\u00e1n Riera Mu\u00f1oz<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Chef, Castropol<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0For trying to do gourmet, the most important thing at Castropol \u00a0is the creativity and seriousness with which we work, even when \u00a0we don&#8217;t have the high quality raw materials needed to do so. \u00a0Without that, it&#8217;s very difficult to do gourmet.
