Opening Soon: La Habanera brings Cuban food to downtown Montreal
The dream team behind delicious eateries biiru and Escondite are back at it again this time bringing us a little slice of Cuba.
La Habanera, their newest concept, is set to open downtown Montreal at 1216 Union street and is already stirring up buzz around town.
The restaurant will be intimate and cozy, housing only 30 seats set amongst a mojito/rum bar, funky and eclectic Cuban décor, and music that will make you feel like you’re on vacation.
