“So it begins. In truth it began last year. Negotiations took forever, usual legal shite. In April we broke ground. Literally. Next week, we open the doors.”

Since their first post, they’ve provided some more behind the scenes deets, the reason behind their name for starters.

“In Cuba a Paladar (plural: paladares) is a small, family-run restaurant. The name comes from a Spanish word for “palate.” Paladares are a wonderful way to experience Cuban cuisine and more importantly Cuban hospitality.”

Paladar open daily from 5pm, and from 3pm on Saturdays.
