Cuban Restaurant coming to Chiang Mai

[Oscar2]

i seldom ever get excited about restaurants as i don't think too many of them around here are any good so i eat at home 95% of the time. but i just saw an ad about "The Cubano" restaurant and pub opening in November. does anyone have any info about it? i absolutely love Cuban food!

[dru2]

I travelled all over Cuba for a month on an assignment about 10 years ago and the food was - well, less than exciting.

Of course, it may be another story in Miami or Chiang Mai, at least I hope so.

Their sandwiches look good. I was turned onto them by a recent witty feelgood movie called "Chef".

I followed this recipe and it was pretty good.

Although having said that, I can't vouch for the bread, but I substituted a portugese "ciabatta", which was bloody excellent.

What are examples of Cuban food? My experience is limited to the Cuban sandwich served at the Dukes (good) and Mojitos (also good).

Rice. Beans. A touch of saffron. More rice and beans.

Where is this Cuban restaurant opening up? An address would be welcome even a link if there is one.

Unfortunately, Americans will be prohibited by law from eating there.

Hey, don't forget the Cuba Libre... rum and Coke.

Me and most of the other Americans I know eat where we damn well feel like it.

We're not in Kansas anymore.

to each their own but i find Cuban cuisine quite tasty with influences from Spain, Africa, Caribbean, and France. yes the alcoholic drinks are really refreshing.

the ad says the location as Cubano Restaurant and Pub @ "The Pub"???

Yeah, looks like they're taking the existing outdoor bar area (and the covered "bandstand") at The Pub and converting it. This is from the facebook page:

Had to use The Google to find out what that meant. Funny.

I see, did a u-turn there on the MTB a couple weeks back and saw the builders at work.

Does The Pub "serve" from 2-5PM if one is so inclined?

Great.

Another Hotel, Shopping Plaza, or Condominium Tower.

If you substitute "Chiang Mai" for "Streatham", they could almost use this as an advert.

I'm sure the residents of Nimman would be ecstatic about having yet another shopping centre, even closer than Maya and making just as much noise.

True. Plus there are parts of the day when the Nimmanhamin/Huay Kaew intersection isn't in total gridlock. One more shopping center should fix that.

So are the owners of Eastin hotel important enough to prevent another hotel going up on the site of The Pub, blocking the view?
