The whole atmosphere of this restaurant was perfect - loved the decor,friendly server&bartender, music, and overall vibe.

Entering this place felt very good. The ambient was just right. We then joined another person "upstairs". The music was loud,... pretty ok and lively for the place, but way too loud. Later on, the music became reggaeton and some really bad music choices. We witnessed the volume being increased and decreased at times. You could hardly talk. Now lets talk food. I am vegetarianand we did enjoy every bite. The portions were a good size and tasty. The "patacones"/fried plantains in the "Veggie Plate"were excellent, so were the rice and beans. Ok, one of us was not a vegetarian, hence the other picture - 'Guava BBQ Beef ShortRib' The service was friendly, cordial, casual and just right. Good people indeed. I had a 'cafe cubano' (warning: comes withsugar in an expresso cup) and a cafe cortado and enjoyed them sufficiently. For desert, the 'Cuban Coffe Cream Brûlée'... Itwas nice and enjoyable and it came garnished with cookies and blueberries. I do recommend this place and it has a patio as wellat the front. Now with regards to the music...: Management, "please" do something about it. You have a great and beautifulplace, great food, and wonderful staff. Play the music at 30% current volume and please make better choices if you want to seeus, or friends back. Thank you. Read more
Food here is fantastic! New and more secluded spot, so its not as busy (yet). We loved the empanadas, grilled shrimp, belly,... corn and creme brule! Do yourself a favour and grab dinner here! Read more
Vibes of Cuba in leslieville! This spot has all the feels of Cuba with that even better taste of the country! Cuban food while... being tasty and heavy, usually isn?t too attractive to my palate. Bar habana has officially knocked that stigma out of mymind! Had a few dishes, the habanero hot honey squid, the grilled shrimp and the cubano. Squid with that habanero sauce was todie for! Brought the heat, but keeping it just enough that you want more! The grilled shrimp, while being good in its own, evenbetter when you combine your bite with that mango black bean salsa it comes with! Lastly, the cubano, which is the signature ofCuba, the pressed ham & cheese sandwich. This wasn?t your ordinary ham & cheese. The saltiness from the chews combined with thefatty ham, just a marriage of flavours! And to wash it all down with their mojito or cuban style pilsner! The perfect ending isthat Cuban coffee creme brûlée! Nice and creamy with the strong hit of coffee. The other thing that was specially made for us,the donuts that?s usually only available for brunch. The donuts had a nice little crisp on the outside, but soft and pillowyinside. The other thing you want to know is that everything they make here is in house, including the bread they use for thecubano sandwich! Service, just amazing! Everyone was super friendly, and really boosted the atmosphere with their personalvibe! Great job overall! Follow me on IG @thirst_and_taste for better pics, vids and more amazing content! Read more

Stumbled across this cute cuban place for brunch while we were in the area. Love the atmosphere here during early afternoon! The... Cubano might look low-key but it was my favourite of the two things we ordered. Service is also A+++ Read more
