This restaurant in the heart of downtown Montreal is one of a few opened by the same owners and offers a Cuban themed menu and decor.
The venue is bright and nicely decorated with pictures, plants, and neons lights; the colours and decor make you feel like you're in a small venue in Havana. Small space with minimal tables and chairs but they also have comfortable teal coloured couches for groups as well, that really add that pop of color.
Having visited many times, I can attest that the menu is inexpensive and yummy. Besides maybe one or two dishes, like the plantain tostadas that are not my fave, they're is not a single other item that I don't like. The Cubans sandwich and fried chicken bao buns are so good but the avocado salad is probably the one thing on the menu I can't get enough of!
The service is always friendly and attentive; the food always comes out super fast too.
If you are looking for a casual spot with good inexpensive food and amazing cocktails in the heart of the city, go to Habanera!
