Back by popular demand: our fourth night of fabulous Cuban food by Havana Chef Table with live music by Papalote!

Cuba has a remarkable history. Consider that Havana was a diverse, multicultural, global capital of universities and opera houses back when New York City was little more than wooden village. Over 500 years Cuba developed a rich and sophisticated culinary tradition drawing influences from around the world, from Spain and the Americas, to Africa, the Middle East & China. While more recent history may have hampered Cuba’s reputation as a culinary destination, the fabulous home cooking prepared across the island and abroad remains stuff of legend.

Tonight accomplished Cuban Chef Fayad Martin shares some of his favourite traditional Cuban dishes while talented local ensemble Papalote enchant guests with the seductive rhythms of Cuban Son.

Sopa de Pollo
A comforting traditional Cuban broth with tender chicken, root vegetables, and aromatic herbs.
Vegetarian option: Havana-style vegetable soup

Papas Rellenas a lo Cubano

Last Saturday, Chef Martin from HavanaChefTable delighted our guests with an unforgettable “Desde el Mar” experience.

The menu was a true celebration of the sea: lobster, langostinos, shrimps, clams, and mussels, paired beautifully with tamales en cazuela filled with crab meat, scallop rice, and a signature dessert crafted by the chef himself.

The energy was incredible—a full house and a waitlist of guests who couldn’t get tickets because we sold out! The evening was filled with amazing food, great company, and unforgettable moments.

✨ Stay tuned for our next event—you won’t want to miss it! ✨
