This is probably the best service I’ve had all year… not to mention fantastic food and a kick-ass wine list with some interesting Old World options. Great decor, and food-wise the beef with ras el hanout and the goat’s cheese salad were both stunning… but, hell it was all great.

As vegetarians we chose this as it had options for us and we found the food generous, delicious and interesting. Was worth the 30 minute walk and we would return. It also has a great atmosphere and has an excellent range of cocktails.

A group of six of us had lunch at Havana last Friday, and Havana put on a great performance for us.

The lunch menu really is a series of small plates, and we had at least one of EVERYTHING from the menu – no complaints at all.

The chillied Prawns earned a repeat order (or two), and it all went down very well with a couple of beers. The wine / beer list is good, and we spent a couple of hours at Havana enjoying the tastes on offer.

Price was $82 per head, half of that was alcohol, and seemed very good value for money to us.

Havana is a bit out of the way and it’s surrounds are a bit bleak on a cold windy day – but once you get inside then you will be very pleased that you went.

Recommended!

Everything was amazing! I’ve been to Havana a few times for drinks and love the vibe and atmosphere there, but this is the first time i’ve eaten there..and it was incredible! The service was wonderful, very helpful and easy going. It was such a difficult choice deciding between the shared tapas but the ones we settled on were delicious. I wish my stomach was big enough to have tried more! I will definitely be heading back to Havana to try more dishes! Such a lovely warm, relaxed environment to chill out and enjoy amazing food with friends.

I walk past this place just about every day and finally got around to going. The service was excellent the decor extremely comfortable especially with the open kitchen. The food was with out a doubt nothing short of amazing. If I could I would have eaten everything off the menu. I could not pick a dish which I would label as favourite.

I cant fault my evenings I have had at Havana bar recently. I love the new restaurant and they change the menu weekly with inspired seasonal fresh dishes. I had a wicked girls night catch up here, and it was so nice to be able to drink really good wine with fabulous food and feel safe an relaxed. It’s not a rowdy boys hangout, this one is for the girls no matter your age.

I adore this place and visit as often as I can – and not just because of the wonderful decor that I find rather interesting (check out the canoe). The tapas menu is delicious, I’ve not found a dish I don’t like and it’s consistently high quality, tasty tucker. The service is always impeccable and the wine list has something for everyone. Go, eat, enjoy!
