At a glance
El Libanés is a restaurant and pizzeria on Avenida 25, between 24 and 26, in Jaruco, Cuba. Located on an upper floor, it is presented as a place for sit-down dining as well as a delivery venue. Its menu brings together Cuban, international, Italian and seafood cooking, giving the restaurant a varied identity within the local dining scene.
Italian dishes are a central part of the offering. The menu covers several kinds of pasta, including spaghetti, lasagna, cannelloni and shorter pasta shapes prepared with meat sauces, cured meats, cream-based combinations, cheese or seafood. Baked pasta dishes and options finished with either mozzarella or Gouda add further choice across the menu. The selection also includes pizzas with toppings such as cheese, ham, chicken, sausage, bacon, onion and peppers, along with more elaborate combinations.
Seafood appears in both the starters and main dishes. The menu includes preparations built around shrimp, lobster, tuna, fish and mixed seafood, alongside cold salads, seafood cocktails and filled peppers. Meat-based options, charcuterie, cheese and vegetable preparations provide alternatives for different appetites. Starters range from assorted cold platters and salads to bruschetta, soups, cheese creams and other hot dishes.
One of the venue’s distinctive touches is the inclusion of house-named pasta and baked selections alongside familiar Italian formats. These dishes combine ingredients such as minced meat, bacon, tomato sauce, cream, butter, onion and honey, giving the menu a local restaurant character rather than limiting it to a narrow interpretation of Italian food. The presence of Cuban and international choices broadens the selection further.
El Libanés suits diners seeking a substantial menu with several categories to choose from, particularly groups with mixed preferences for pizza, pasta, meat, cheese or seafood. The upstairs setting and restaurant format make it appropriate for a planned meal in Jaruco, while the delivery classification offers another way to order. The menu’s range, rather than a single signature style, is the main feature of the experience.
