There aren’t many places where we wish that brunch was served in the evening, since La Cubana’s breakfast plate is one of the city’s must-try dishes, this would be one. The Cuban breakfast is perfectly balanced – slow-cooked pork, spicy slaw, rice and beans, and topped with creamy poached eggs. And to finish: a cup of Cuban coffee paired with La Cubana’s just-fried, cinnamon-sugar doughnuts.
You can add a little bit of Cuban flair to your picnic lunch in High Park with something from La Cubana. The Roncesvalles location is near the park, so there’s no excuse not to indulge! Munch on its famous Cuban sandwiches, grab a mini sandwich if you have little ones, and head over to find an excellent lunch spot.
Husband-and-wife duo Corinna Mozo and Victor Coelho head up this now-famed Cuban eatery in Toronto, originally opened on Roncesvalles Avenue and with a newcomer on Ossington (where their own Delux used to be). Not only does the spot offer one of the best happy hours in town (daily food + cocktail specials like pork belly and a daiquiri – ideal for those who didn’t make it to the beach this winter). Must-tries include the Medianoche sandwich, the deep-fried donuts, and Cuban cocktails that spotlight Havana Club and fresh fruit.
