The place was quite dimly lit which makes it sound
like a negative, but it was just super cosy really! Each tables had their own candies
and the booths had lovely cushions. It was beautifully decorated with low
hanging lights and prints on the wall, it was a Pinterest users dream!
We arrived at 6pm on Wednesday and it was already heaving, I
couldn’t believe how busy it was for mid week! We were actually early for our
table but they managed to squeeze us in which was much appreciated.
Whilst looking over the newspaper themed menus we picked our
drinks, James being a typical guy and went for a beer whilst I tried the Ruby Punch which
came in the cutest elephant shaped glass, it went down a right treat let me
tell you!
When it came to ordering the food we decided to start with Tortillas
which were really nice and the portion size was ideal for sharing. It was the
perfect food to have whilst we chatted about our day. Next came the mains, I
decided to go for tapas so I could try a few dishes whilst James opted for
Chimichanga. My dishes were the Serrano Ham Brushetta, Iberico Ham Croquettas, Patatas
Bravas and Albondiga Picante. They were honestly incredible, I was really happy
with ones I chose (although it was very hard as they all sounded amazing), the
dishes were full of flavours, some spicy, some garlicy and some cheesey. I
really couldn’t fault any of tapas dishes at all, they were all fantastic and I
really want to try the rest now!
After our mains we had another drink, this time I picked the
Raspberry Mojito which was seriously refreshing after the hot food. Every day
from 5-7pm they have 2-4-1 cocktails so I got 2 of these bad boys! Ohhhh yeah!
Then it was time to pick our puddings, being the greedy little piggies we were,
we went for the Churros and the Mini Selection which included Strawberry and
Mango Empanadas, Chocolate Rum Truffles, (more)Churros with Caramel Sauce and Mini
Strawberry Daiquiris. You know, just to make sure we hit our sugar allowance
for the day! Again, these were just as yummy as our mains but unfortunately we
couldn’t finish it all despite trying very hard!
After we finished our drinks and settled up the bill we
popped upstairs to have a look at the Havana Bar. We walked in to find a Salsa
class happening on the dance floor which was really unexpected but nice to see.
We didn’t stay for a drink but it looked like a really nice bar, the perfect
place for drinks on a night out.
We had the best evening at Revolución De Cuba and we both left feeling full, happy and would 100% go back again. One thing I do want to say is that there was a really nice waiting
time between courses. I don’t like a restaurant which rushes you and ushers you
out as soon as possible. We were there for nearly two hours and it meant it
gave us time for our tums to settle before indulging some more food so that
gets a big thumbs up from me.
I've been meaning to check this out since it opened and just haven't had the time! The food looks so so scrummy, and that cocktail in the elephant glass is adorable! x
