⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ¡Qubana – where Wakefield meets Havana! 🇪🇸🇨🇺🔥 From the moment you walk in, you feel that Latino heartbeat — the rhythm, the laughter, the warmth. The food? Increíble. Every dish bursts with sabor and passion. Tapas perfect to share, mains full of colour and life. The cocktails and wine? Pura alegría en una copa. 🍸🍷 But the real magic is Jonny — mi hermano, un caballero con corazón. One of the best men on God’s planet — his energy and kindness light up the whole place. ❤️ Qubana isn’t just dinner — it’s vida, ritmo y amor. Gracias por una noche llena de sabor y sonrisas. ¡Viva la vida, viva Qubana! 🌴💃 — Rob
A lovely work meal. I had steak which was gorgeous, chose not to order chips alongside and genuinely didn't need them, steak was very filling. Friends had club sandwich and wraps from lunchtime menu 😊 Really clean, nice atmosphere.
We have been to Qubana twice in the last few months and both times we have been able to walk in on a Saturday evening without a booking, welcomed warmly by the staff and sat down at a table within 5 minutes. The service has been second to none and the staff are friendly and very knowledgable about the menu. The food is delicious and high quality and we love the atmosphere of the place. We went for a variety of tapas as suggested by the waiter and it was lovely. They offered a free dessert/cocktail as it was my birthday yesterday and made every effort to ensure we felt looked after. Thank you, we will be back soon!
It was on my bucket list to visit since it opened. I had to call to book a table. During the call I stated I would need access for my walking frame and they said it would be fine. When arrived there were a few stairs up to reception and when I was being directed to my table there were a few more stairs. They could see my rollator which is my walking frame and they didn’t give me any other options. My Dad had to help me up the stairs and down again when we had finished. So whether there is any wheelchair access at all or not, I don’t know. I certainly wasn’t offered any. They also add a 10% tip to your bill, so please check for this before you pay. We hadn’t realised it until we got home but we had paid over £8 with this tip, which is more than we would tip normally. The place in general is different from the norm. It has a nice atmosphere and tasty food, but because I use a mobility aid I doubt I will be able to visit this place again because of the stairs.
Having ignored this place for a few years for no particular reason I finally gave the place a try on my latest visit home. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. In the space of a week I came here four times, for drinks and food.A Cuban themed restaurant and bar looking very smart and hitting way above anything else Wakefield has to offer. The drinks, of which I had several margaritas over the different visits, were the best in Wakefield. The food was absolutely gorgeous (great choice of varied dishes). Service was friendly, helpful and professional. Prices were very reasonable considering the quality. I imagine at peak times the place would get very busy so for meals it might be best to book in advance. They also have a terrace bar and also a private dining room in the old vault which doesn't cost any extra but booking advised. They also have live music in the evenings occasionally.I really can't fault this place, it really is one of the best restaurant/bars in Wakefield. Fourth visit... Everything still amazing apart from the margarita I had, not sure the bar person knew how to make it, another member of staff gave her a quick run through but it didn't taste the greatest and the presentation wasn't as good as previous visits. No doubt I'll be back to try again in the future. Fingers crossed. Fifth visit... Food still amazing, service still brilliant (lady with piercings, she was amazing, friendly, helpful and welcoming),the manager still makes a great margarita. Cheers.
