Finding vegetarian or vegan food in Cuba can be challenging, but it’s becoming easier, especially in tourist areas like Havana, Trinidad, and Viñales. Traditional Cuban cuisine is meat-heavy, but some local dishes, like rice and beans or yuca, can be made vegetarian or vegan. In privately owned paladares, you’re more likely to find plant-based options, and some restaurants in Havana specifically cater to vegetarians and vegans. Customizing dishes by asking for no meat or dairy is generally possible, and fresh fruits and vegetables are available in local markets for self-catering.
