Donde Lis

Habana Vieja


The Lis' interior is like a modern love letter to Havana: iconography from the Rat Pack era of the 1950s, reproduced 20th-century tropical art, and bright colors splashed onto old colonial walls. The menu is a carefully cultivated mélange of flavors, presenting Cuban staples with modern twists – octopus with guacamole, lobster enchilados – along with some Italian and Spanish cameos.
