Sol Ananda

Sol Ananda is situated in the heart of Trinidad, on a prominent corner of Plaza Mayor and in one of the town’s oldest houses. Its building dates back to 1750 and was home to Don Martín de Oliveras, the owner of one of the town’s first sugar mills and later its mayor.

The mansion was fully renovated into its museum-like state in the early 2000s by its owner, architect Lázaro Morgado Orellana, and opened as a restaurant in January 2011. Fine eighteenth-century china, chandeliers, depression-era glassware, lace tablecloths, and antique European furniture, such as a bed, night tables, and armoires, adorn the restaurant rooms, giving guests a flashback to the town’s glorious and prosperous past. Each menu is printed with historic black-and-white photos of Cuban gentry and welcoming text:
