Viva Cuba! was born on the back of the adventures of two friends to Cuba. Their ensuing food adventures took them to the heart of the Spanish and South American influences. Viva Cuba! opened in 2001 to the people of Leeds, and it’s been going strong ever since.
There are gluten free, vegan friendly, and vegetarian friendly food options available.
