The Best Sight in Cuba

Cojímar would merit a visit even without its literary significance as home of La Terraza. From the opening curaçao—a frozen daiquirí made with a blue bitter-orange liqueur—and majuas (tiny deep-fried fish) through the ranchito de mariscos (fish, lobster, and shrimp stewed in tomato, onion, and peppers), everything is very good here. The graceful mahogany bar dangerously dignifies the act of drinking, and the Hemingway memorabilia aren't overdone.
