    ABOUT US

    Located between two of Manhattan’s most stylish neighborhoods, SoHo and The West Village, Favela Cubana is dedicated to serving the highest quality food with a focus on traditional Brazilian and Cuban cuisine.

    Favela Cubana is a place where food, music and culture converge. Brazil’s Frango Ipanema and Cuba’s Arroz con Pollo are amongst the delicacies featured on the menu, and fresh tropical cocktails such as their tantalizing “Orange Basil Mojito” highlight the fully stocked bar. Seamlessly fusing the food and culture of these two distinct countries, Favela Cubana continues the experience with a friendly staff and a lively, informal atmosphere. Large murals and festive colors adorn the 1,500 square foot space, and conga drums cleverly double as bar stools for up to fifteen lucky (and thirsty) guests. Able to host up to one hundred patrons for events, Favela Cubana strives to serve as a festive oasis, event space and cultural landmark where all are free to eat, drink, dance, and bond.

    We look forward to hosting you at Favela Cubana.
