Havana Restaurant

History:
Havana Restaurant is a family business, created and run by Roberto Reyes, his daughter Martha, and her husband Rafael Perez. Since 1993, Havana has been committed to providing the Palm Beaches, with the most authentic Cuban food experience in the area. Roberto and his family know the difference. Born in Cuba, Roberto served in the Cuban Navy until the arrival of Castro in 1959, and then immigrated to the U.S. in 1960. Over the years, he worked his way up the business ladder, to the Vice President of a chain store. His love for food eventually led him to open his own businesses, including a full service restaurant in Puerto Rico and a successful ice cream shop in Miami. Then Came Hurricane Andrew!

With their homes and business devastated by the storm, the Reyes and Perez families decided to pack up and head north to West Palm Beach. Once there, they found that they missed the lively 24 hour Cuban eateries they had grown accustomed to in Miami. That would be their new business! With hard work, dedication and of course, a lifetime of traditional Cuban recipes, Havana became and is, a true star in West Palm Beach.

Along with providing the best Cuban food in town, Havana believes in giving back to the community. You’ll find them supporting groups and events such as the Young Friends of the Kravis Center’s “Reach for the Stars,” CAPS, The American Cancer Society, The Heart Association, numerous churches, schools and so much more. They belong to the West Palm Beach and Palms West Chambers of Commerce, The Hispanic Chamber and Resources Council and serve on numerous boards and committees. Their compassion, commitment and dedication to the community can only be rivaled by their continuous pursuit of extraordinary cuisine.

The Palm Beach Post and Sun Sentinel, along with numerous other magazines and periodicals, have called Havana tops many years running. Havana even has even received rave reviews from critics and writers with Southern Living Magazine, Martha Stewart and the Wall Street Journal. You owe it to yourself to experience the magic of Havana today
