El Polinesio - Havana

La Habana, La Habana, Cuba

Opened in 1958.

This government-owned restaurant used to be a Trader Vic's.

It was barely finished when Castro took over, and only open for a few months as Trader Vic's.

It's located in the Tryp Habana Libre hotel, also known as the Cuba Libre Hotel. It's been reported that the decor is still in decent shape. Decor borrowed from the Havana Trader Vic's can be seen in the 1964 film "I Am Cuba."

There is another El Polinesio in Cienfuegos.
