Cuba
This probably only happens in low season (we went mid-December), but the ever present touts are actually offering deals - 6 or 7 CUC for a meal that will cost you 10 CUC untouted.
Two paladares stand out in Trinidad:
Sol y Son - very nice comida criolla, in the courtyard of a Trinidad Colonial residence.
Estela - The best paladare in Trinidad, and the only place we ate at twice in Cuba. Brilliant home cooked style comida criolla, with huge portions in a beautiful setting.
Sol y Son - Bolivar 283 e. Pais y Marti
Estela - Bolivar 557 e. Marquez y Mendoza
