Fodor's Expert Review Restaurante El Salto

This riverside terrace restaurant overlooks the footbridge that leads to the famous waterfall. The idyllic setting and river view make up for an uninspiring menu of simple Cuban fare featuring chicken and the house specialty, Soroa Tentación, a stew of shredded beef with tomatoes, onion, and garlic. The house drink, the daiquiri cascada, is made of various colors of alcohol, in honor of the rainbow that often appears over the falls. The entrance fee to climb the 250-meter path to the waterfall is CUC$3. Unfortunately, the waterfall is usually dry by April, before the rainy season begins.
