Why travellers consider La Rampa

What to ask before ordering
- Which seafood is available today?
- Is lobster priced by plate, portion or weight?
- Which side dishes are included?
- What currency is expected?
- Is service already included?
- Can the restaurant help arrange a taxi?
Ask the final price first
Do not order lobster, a bottle or a special plate until the restaurant clearly explains the final amount and currency.
Cash and payment
Cash is the safest plan for a small restaurant in Cuba. Card terminals may be unavailable, rejected or affected by power and connectivity problems.
- Carry smaller denominations.
- Keep taxi money separate.
- Do not display your full cash reserve.
- Review the bill before paying.
- Ask for clarification when a conversion is unclear.
Reservation and transportation
Because La Rampa is described as a small venue, confirm before travelling specifically for dinner.
- Ask your hotel, casa or driver to verify the restaurant.
- Confirm whether a reservation is needed.
- Save the address offline.
- Agree on the taxi fare before leaving.
- Set a return time when dining late.
See Transportation in Cuba for planning taxis and transfers.
Families and groups
La Rampa may work for families if the restaurant can provide simple dishes and a reasonable wait. Groups should verify seating capacity and whether meals can be served together.
- Carry a snack for young children.
- Ask about non-seafood alternatives.
- Confirm accessibility and washroom conditions when needed.
- Keep the evening short when children are tired.
When to choose another restaurant
- The restaurant cannot confirm the final price.
- You need a specific guaranteed seafood dish.
- You have no cash or return transportation.
- Your group requires more space or accessibility.
