Havana's El Barrio Chino
Description
Calle Dao is a Chinese Cuban Fusion Restaurant concept designed to pay homage to Havana's once-thriving El Barrio Chino (Chinatown). El Barrio Chino occupied 44 square blocks of real estate in the late 1870s. As the Cuban and Chinese cultures mixed, a unique fusion of cuisine emerged.
The cuisine, cocktails, and décor of Calle Dão strive to transport your guests back to El Barrio Chino when it was at the height of its existence. Calle Dão created mouthwatering dishes seamlessly blending Cuban staples with Asian flavors. The cocktails, created by Mixologist Joy Daniel, also meld the old world with the new, using historical names for libations with modern ingredients. Calle Dáo’s décor, the creation of its owner Marco Britti (Favela Cubana), is reminiscent of a sultry, old-world Havana restaurant with white-washed walls, distressed wood, and whirring ceiling fans. Chinese artwork, spices, and bright colors provide the accents.
Step into a bygone era and enjoy a modern dining experience at Calle Dão for your next event!

Imagine you’re in Cuba 🇨🇺 and...
by Eric San José
Imagine you’re in Cuba 🇨🇺 and you want to eat in a Chinese Restaurant. That’s exactly this place. Rice and beans. Plantains. Ropa Vieja Lo Mein. All tastes great. Latin music 🎶 playing all the time. Nice staff. Moderately clean facilities. Manhattan prices so bring your credit cards 💳. Great for date night. We will definitely be going back.

I went to Calle Dao with three friends on a Friday night, and the experience was fantastic. The atmosphere was perfect, and the location felt like a hidden gem. Our cocktails were excellent—I highly recommend the Max Ver—and the crispy pork belly appetizer was out of this world, as was the grilled shrimp with garlic mojo. For my entrée, I had the Ropa Vieja Noodles, and the roasted brisket had some of the best flavor I've ever had—I'm still thinking about it! The black rice seafood paella was another standout. The flavors were excellent, the staff incredibly kind, and I can't wait to go back!
