La Cubana is one of my favourite restaurants in Dresden! Very delicious, authentic, home-made food! Great cocktails and overall good price for value. The space is nice and great for organizing dinners with friends. I have celebrated there many occasions. You can also find good spots to have a romantic dinner, and in the summer the Biergarten at the back is lovely! I am a regular customer and recommend La Cubana! And of course make sure you meet the beautiful and friendly Claudia, cook and owner, that makes the food with a lot of love!

I wasn’t looking to eat Cuban, but I’m happy that I did. Authentic cuisine served by very friendly staff. I ate in the garden area as it was a pleasant evening. Lovely ambience. Soft Latin music playing. I’d recommend the empanada. They are huge and full of flavour. The Tapas I chose was faultless. All in all a great experience.
