I ordered a burger and chips through ubereats and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the burger-very tasty !!!
My only complaint is the lack of seasoning on the chips and the fact there wasn’t many of them. Saying that though, the sauce that came with them was amazing.

Loved the $45 tasting platter to share, very tasty and good value for money ! Service a bit slow, considering we were the first group there on an early Saturday evening. Once they got busier they were more attentive which was good.

What a great bar and a great place to enjoy vintage runs and cigars. We had the added bonus of live music when we went on a wet Friday night. We will be back!

Loved the platter and service. Its got a funky atmosphere and feel. Menu looked good so ill be back to try it out again one day. Looks like they were setting up a stage for music later on so might go off after 10

This is a nice place to be on a sunny Sunday! It's in the CBD but the decor and greenery makes it feel like you're out of town. There is a good brunch deal available until 3pm which includes a main of your choice, a drink and some toast (which is pretty delicious). I ordered the Cuban Hash which was pretty tasty, only suggestion I'd make is that it could of used a little more pulled pork. The staff were friendly, I'd definitely come back here again.

Called in for a Sunday brunch, and was a great experience! Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful and although I have never been to Cuba the food certainly seemed authentic, and was very nice. Definitely planning on returning to try out the dinner menu next.

Lovely seating areas and good atmosphere. The staff were very pleasant and nice. The food was good but lacked a kick (I.e not sour enough not sweet enough or not spicy enough). The trio sliders, jerk chicken and albondias were good

What a great experience!! Waiting staff are exceptional. I dare say the best I have dealt with In over 20 years of eating out it Christchurch. I knew the place well when it was the stray dog and wow. What a difference! The whole atmosphere has changed with the new lay out. The food was bang on! Never tried these Cuban flavours and spices before but I'm addicted now. Ha. I had the croquet's and the goat meal while my partner had the fish burger meal and the vegetarian one. I will be going back definitely, not just for the food. I might get on the cocktails at night and check it out.

A new fancy and wonderful place in city centre to go for dinner. This is my first time trying Cuban food but I like it. Yummy food, nice decoration, atmosphere and really chatty friendly staffs here. Great experience and not too pricy. We will come back again sometime!

Really nice vibe. Very accommodating for groups as well. Also great to sit by the fire place on comfy couches. Great cocktails almost never have mint for mojitos though.

I really enjoyed the last night with my friends in The Cuban, the team is friendly and happy. I drunk my PISCOLA in Chilean Style and we ate amazing desserts.

Very good food and staff. The seats are very uncomfortable, the place in general is very run down. Decor is pointless and clunky - like fire weapons and machine guns alongside symbols of Catholic religion. Whoever decorated the place has probably never been to Cuba or doesn't respect the culture of the Latin countries very much.

Yummy tapas. Best ribs (says the meat eater) and tasty vegetarian options, like the croquettes.

Awesome staff, cuban bar has so much potential..I love the venue however I think you should play music outside to pull people off the street into the bar and maybe turn the lights on outside...aside from my thoughts on this, my group enjoyed the cocktails and had a good night.

The staff were really friendly. The food was delicious but one of our dishes was definitely on the small side for a main dish. We had to wait over an hour for our main course to come though.

With the abundance of hospitality outfits in Christchurch surely I am forgiven for not discovering this place sooner....the ambience, the decor, the food, the staff and of course the drinks too cannot be faulted. Everything arrived in a timely manner, and was as scrumptious as it looked! Not one item we could fault and it truly showed that everything had been made with love. The staff are lovely and welcoming and special shout out to Gustavo....if you want a cocktail ask for him, that man knows what he is doing!! Great service, superb food, amazing cocktails...5 stars!

Was a quiet Friday night... but must admit Rugby was on. Beautiful food and wonderful service!!! Recommend onion rings, they're to die for. I had the crispy chicken burger which came with wedges, was delicious. Will definitely return for more.

Very welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff, interesting decor. The restaurant is called "The Cuban" but the food is more Mexican/Tex Mex style (tacos etc). They were playing classic salsa music when I arrived - I wanted to dance but there was no one there to dance with! Food was tasty and came out quickly. Would be great to see some authentically Cuban dishes on the menu e.g. Ropa Vieja (Shredded beef), Rice & Beans.
