Company Introduction: Be part of our opening team as we make our South Florida debut in early 2021 at 800 East Las Olas Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Our mission is to provide an "escape" to Havana through exciting food, beverage and entertainment experiences that celebrate the Cuban people and culture. Our name, which translates to "a free Cuba," signifies hope for the future of the treasured island nation. Two-time James Beard Award winning Chef-Partner Guillermo Pernot's menus reflect the cuisine served today in paladares (small, privately-owned restaurants) throughout the island nation - chef-crafted versions of traditional and contemporary Cuban dishes that he experiences during his continuing travels to Cuba. Our tropical ambiance, vintage decor, upbeat Latin music and menu of "today's Cuban cuisine", make all of our restaurants a must-see, must-experience dining destination. Our other locations are Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Orlando and Washington, DC, with San Juan scheduled for 2022.
