In Old Havana "Los Mercaderes" paladar, combines the atmosphere of a tipical colonial house (the tainted glasses, mural paintings and original XIX century floors) with an excelent variety of plates coming from traditional to international with a special emphasis on fresh seafood. Yamil is an avid spearfisherman and his catch goes to the restaurant kitchen. It is all part of having a connection with the food. “We have contracts with organic farms in Guanabacoa (a neighborhood on the outskirts of Havana)”. Yamil went on to explain that they are even bringing in seeds to grow cherry tomatoes and iceberg lettuce. As his business prospered Yamil moved the family out of Havana Vieja a few miles away to the malecòn sea wall. Considering his success with Los Mercaderes it is probably safe to assume that his next paladar will have an ocean view. Los Mercaderes is opened for lunch and dinner every day of the week with a 3 course “you-pick” lunch special.
