    Really great service and food. Music was too loud for us. But that was the only downside to our evening. Thank you!

    This is a long-standing restaurant institution on The Drive. They specialize in authentic Cuban food and they do it well. Service is always prompt and courteous. And the ambiance is lively and fun. Highly recommend this East Van gem.

    The ambiance was informal and not too noisy. I was able to converse with my dining partner without difficulty. The service was attentive and there at the right time. The food was good and priced about what we expect for lunch these days. I choose this as my place to meet and visit with friends and family members on the Drive.

    I have been going to Havana for it feels like 25+ years . Great food, awesome servers and a cool ambience with their artwork in the back. Love the "Weekday Brunch" ! A little gem in the city, and great live shows in The Flamingo Room !
    HavanaResponded on October 25, 2024

We’re delighted that you’ve enjoyed the food, the service, the artwork, and, of course, the Weekday Brunch! We’re also glad you’re a fan of the live shows at The Flamingo Room – it’s a special part of what makes Havana unique. Cheers, Liam Havana Vancouver
