Little Havana restaurant and bar is a charming Afro-Caribbean restaurant with Cuban decor and top-notch rum cocktails.
The first Afro-Latino-influenced street cuisine type restaurant and bar in Ghana and West Africa, Little Havana, is located in an old colonial-style building in the young, creative, and enterprising neighbourhood near Osu Ako Adjei Park and it is one of the best restaurants in Osu.
Marcus Morgan-Etty, the founder and designer of Little Havana restaurant and bar (of Santoku, The View, and Burger & Relish fame), has evoked the opulent days of the Cuban capital’s pre-revolutionary era by maintaining the building’s original wooden shutters and art deco detailing and adding opulent chandeliers, charming vintage furniture, and vibrant eclectic décor. This trendy new restaurant offers a tantalizing meal together with exuberant Afro-Cuban and Latino music, expertly made premium rum drinks, and vivacious service, all of which combine to create a new and genuine alternative to Accra’s posh high-end social scene.
Marcus eagerly exclaims, “Latino food is exploding with flavour and fresh ingredients, and has very strong crossovers with Ghanaian foods,” as he bustles about the kitchen creating a Cuban sandwich. Marcus resembles Jon Favreau’s lead character from the 2014 film “Chef” in appearance. I drew inspiration for the Little Havana menu from traditional Cuban and Latin American dishes and ingredients, but I bought everything in Ghana from local vendors.
This afro-Latino relationship produces distinctive but nourishing soul cuisine. Everything is of gourmet quality, but it is presented in a relaxed, street-style setting and is quite inexpensive. Little Havana’s chefs will keep you coming back for more with hearty Ropa Viejo to light nibbles like tostones with mango salsa.
Additionally, the bar staff is comprised of some of Accra’s best bartending talent, and they can whip up a great classic daiquiri for you in no time. Little Havana is the first rum-specific venue in West Africa, supported by Havana Rum.
