First Cuban Restaurant in Lafayette is Foremost.

Cafe Habana City is one of the reasons that Lafayette has an international flair. This was my first time to experience what I now know is a jewel in the Lafayette restaurant landscape.

What is Cuban Cuisine ? Cuban Cuisine has been influenced by Spanish, French, African, Arabic, Chinese and Portugues cultures. It's that a more. This intimate restaurant has fabulous service and an eclectic crowd. The food is beyond authentic; it's quite tasty. The mojitos are probably the best in town. I ought to know. I've tried them everywhere.

Cafe Habana is kid-friendly as well. Our four-year old guest chowed down on empanadas, which she called mini-hamburgers. She's actually quite adventuresome. She was offerd the standard chicken nuggets and opted for the real deal. We tried the tilapia, tostones and the habanas mixed plate.

We will all be back. That's the great thing about EatLafayette. You try places you have never been to in the past.
