Dietary Requirements info
Have dietary requirements? Please read this link first: https://www.cubagrouptour.com/food-and-drink-in-cuba
VEGETRAINIANS: Cubans are gradually awakening to vegetarianism. Many of them are aware of its existence; however, most do not understand its reasoning, and the belief that to eat well means eating meat is still firmly embedded in the nation’s consciousness. However, through the influence of tourism, more and more vegetarian options are to be found on restaurant menus in Cuba, and the cooks in the guesthouses are now quite accustomed to providing vegetarian meals. Therefore, it is not difficult to get a vegetarian meal in Cuba, although you generally won’t find much variety, and you may get tired of being offered the same (i.e., rice, beans, omelet, and salad) every day. A vegetarian dinner in the guesthouses in Cuba isn’t much cheaper than a dinner containing meat, and the reason is that vegetables on the free market in Cuba are of similar prices to those of meat.
Gluten-Free: There is little problem maintaining a strict gluten-free diet in Cuba. This is mainly because the food in Cuba is very natural (there isn’t much processed food available in Cuba). This is especially true in the guesthouses where there is also the additional advantage of being able to order specific meals and give the cook instructions about what you can and cannot eat. The guides are informed about gluten intolerance and know which ingredients to instruct the cooks to avoid.
