On the main street, through the touristy part of Old Havana, this pleasant bar is never short of patrons. During the day, it serves reasonable food at reasonable prices, but don't expect larger portions of quality cuisine--pizzas, sandwiches, and chips, with the occasional fish dishes, are what's on offer here. The pizzas are tasty but very sloppy, with the oil from the cheese running everywhere! Order anything with chips and you'll get about ten fries! However, given the needlessly high prices at other, similar places, you'd be better off here if you want to sit down rather than eat street food.
A band plays here at around 3pm and then again in the evening. They're actually quite good, although they tend to play the same songs as every other bar band in Havana!
Such is the popularity of this place that you may have to share a table with someone in the evenings, but the place has a friendly atmosphere and attentive staff.
The usual array of drinks is on offer, with Cristal beer and the obligatory Cuba Libres being the most popular.
Cafe de Paris is decorated in the typical Cuban style, with simple wooden chairs and tables and a plain wooden bar--no frills here, but it is pleasant and comfortable nonetheless.
