Floridita Travel

Here is a novel idea for eating exotic in the UK that has been a common and popular mainstay in Cuba for years. It is called Secret Paladares. Imagine making a dinner reservation but you do not know where you are going to end up.

The locations of the restaurants are secret until the day of your reservation. On the day of your reservation, travel directions are made public and you will be on your way to the most unique and exciting dinning experiences around! You can consider it Guerrilla Dinning! Chefs with local restaurants that invite you to come and dine in their homes host each of these Secret Paladares.

Each of the Paladares offers an adventure as well as fine dining in a variety of themed dining experiences. These secret restaurants have been around since 2007 and have become so increasingly popular that the Michelin guide has even given them a top rating. There are variety of Paladares, which are host to a variety of cuisines.

Of course, you can find Cuban Paladares Restaurants. After all, that is where this type of dining originates from, but now other ethnic restaurants are opening as well. Adventurous eaters can dine on Indian, Chinese, Italian, Colombian, and a variety of other ethnic Paladares. The variety of these dining experiences is amazing and the idea of Guerrilla Dining is becoming increasingly popular. It a great way to experience fine dining and have an adventure at the same time.

Although this type of dining might be exotic and exciting for some, you should keep in mind that the UK had taken this fantastic idea from Cuba, and turned it into a sort of cultural ‘experiment’. They want you to choose from many different ethnic meals rather than only authentic Cuban. The UK does make note that this concept has originated in Havana, but they have made Cuba seem rather unimportant and created it as just one of their ten ethnic restaurants. True Cuban cuisine definitely leads the way.
