In Trinidad we have eaten in Paladar (restaurant in a livingroom)
" La Nueva Era"
At the entrance was a huge stuffed crocodile on the stairs
The restaurant also had
a courtyard with a small cage containing a real crocodile
The paladar was in the center of Trinidad
During the meal there was Cuban music
I loved the old crockery
The homemade meal tasted fine and after dinner we could see the house
We were allowed to take photo`s of the interior
Paladar is a term used in Cuba for restaurants that Cubans employed in
their own homes and you eat homemade Cuban food
The small private restaurants have always existed in Cuba but were illegal at the nineties
After the fall of the Soviet Union and the economic crisis forced the government to reform
One of the points of these reforms was the legalization of
private businesses such as restaurants
The paladares were to be subject to rules of the Cuban government regarding the amount and what food they might offer, hiring of staff and the number of seats they could offer
In 2010, the rules changed and this has resulted in a significant increase
in the number and diversity of paladeres
