What a gem! We stumbled into La Palada H&H on 242 Bronson while running late for a concert, and the lineup was long, the staff was incredibly accommodating—letting us pop in when I really needed to use the restroom. We decided to stay for a quick drink, and wow, their mojito was absolutely amazing! Fresh, perfectly balanced, and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was top-notch. Can’t wait to come back and properly enjoy this spot. Highly recommend!
The front of this restaurant caught the eye of my group of friends. When lunchtime came around, we headed over. Inside the atmosphere was as expected, it has that Cuban charm with music, decor and Cuban scenes streaming on their screens. There is a good variety of dishes available. The lunchtime sandwiches are delicious and their prices are reasonable. This will definitely be a lunchtime spot the next time we're in Ottawa.
Great restaurant with delicious Cuban food and atmosphere! Have you really tried Cuban food if you haven't tasted Ropa Vieja with Congri and Plantain? I don't think so! Their Pollo Frito (Fried Chicken ) was also really good! I love that they have balsamic vinegar, white vinegar and oil on the table to make your own light vinaigrette for your salad. We will definitely be back here again! Felt like being in Cuba!
This is your to go place for the best Cuban food. Try croquetas, ropa vieja...hmm. everything is delish and the owners are so nice and fun!
From the very first bite of the fish croquette, I knew the experience was going to be great—and it was, all the way to the last spoonful of the delicious flan we had for dessert. The flavor and quality of the dishes are exceptional. What a fantastic example of Latin American cuisine! I’ll definitely be back.
If you are looking for real Cuban food in Ottawa, this is the place. I recommend the Tamales and roasted pork with a tasty mojito.
Amazing Cuban restaurant on Bronson, homey feel and great music. The food was incredible, the lamb was incredibly flavourful and tender. Like butter. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes!
Amazing experience, great food, wonderful atmosphere and ambience. Had so much fun listening to the Cuban music and trying to not dance while eating. Great spot for a family outing.
