Story Report

Viva Cuba began when Seb McGowan and Michael Cook, friends from early school days, who after university back packed round the world, worked in bars and restaurants in Leeds and Australia and then decided to take the plunge and set up on their own business. A frantic exercise in "do it yourself " preceded the launch of Viva Cuba, Seb and Michael took off for Cuba determined to research every bar and restaurant in Old Havana - what a sacrifice!

My first time at a tapas, great tasting food and pleasant staff. Only problem it took longer than expected from ordering to getting food as we were a party of 10

Had a wonderful tapas meal. We had last visited about 10 years ago so great to see its still trading. Chose 5 dishes for 2 people but portions so generous we probably had 1 too many. Nice laid back atmosphere inside..
