| - Oh my god! What a nice find!
I loved my experience at La Habarena.
The restaurant is so beautiful! I really felt like I was in La Havana.
The service was friendly, efficient, and we really felt important as customers.
The cocktails are to die for, especially the sea buckthorn mojito! Wow!! Absolutely delicious.
The food is to die for. Very tasty, well cooked, full of flavours. They are small plates meant to be shared. Expect to order 2-3 per person, or more if you're really hungry.
We had the aguacate salad, it was excellent. The mint dressing was sweet and really brought the avocado and papaya together. Heaven.
The ceviche was good, but perhaps the less impressive of the bunch. Portion was a bit small too, for the price.
The croquetas with smoked meat and cheese were perfect. Gooey and crispy. I'm drooling just to think of them.
The pollo a la criolla was excellent as well. The braised chicken was tender and was melting in our mouth, and the sauce had the right level of spice.
The only negative is that we were hoping to order the pinchos de carne and they had none left.
Overall, a great meal in a great setting. I will be back for sure!
