If you want to eat the best langostina, it's the place, period! Everything is perfect in this place, in this tourist trap (Varadero). I goes two times in my week, and it was the same experience both night. A must!!!

I'm sorry but I think that friends of Dariel, and he has many, write these reviews. This restaurants is in a backyard, plastic chairs and tables. On the day we were there, there were no other customers, so we had to make small talk with Dariel. It was a good deal for the price, but I'd rather pay more at... More

After reading reviews we made a point of trying this restaurant for the $15 lobster - huge lobster tail grilled perfectly - came with soup salad and a yummy dessert ! Service was very friendly and attentive - would recommend and revisit!

Really good meal. Grilled lobster, soup, salad, rice and the best dessert I think I have ever had. We also had a little entertainment the night we were there.

We heard that the lobster tail at this restaurant was fantastic and cheap - so we decided to go. It's about a block and a half from the large market In Varadero. We sat outside and the waitress came Immediately, she was very pleasant. When you ordered the lobster tail you also received salad, soup, lobster with rice and vegetables,... More

We ate at this restaurant last week and it lived up to the expectations. The food was very good, can't beat grilled lobster meal for $ 14.00. Beers were $2.00 and pop $1.00. There were 3 of us and we ordered 2 lobster meals and told the waitress that we would be sharing the 2 meals. To our amazement and... More

Friendly service, tons of lobster, and as close to reasonably priced as you're going to find in Varadero! Worth the distance to go to the end of the tourist bus route. While you're here, the markets will afford you cheaper prices than in the city center as well.

This is by far one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in all of Varadero. Chef Ramiro Macias serves up the best lobster in Varadero. I've been visiting Varadero for over 17 years and Casa Del Chef is a must on every single trip. The service and food is outstanding! The pricing for a lobster dinner is insane! Don't... More
