Description:
Viva Cuba is a much-loved Cuban tapas bar and restaurant on Kirkstall Road, serving Spanish, Cuban and South American-inspired dishes in a colourful, character-packed setting. Open since 2001, it is all about sharing plates, bold flavours, cocktails, wine and the kind of lively atmosphere that makes ordering “a few bits for the table” turn into a full feast.

​

Make a Day of It:
Start with a wander around Kirkstall Abbey or a film at Hyde Park Picture House, then head to Viva Cuba for tapas, cocktails and a proper Leeds favourite. It is also a strong shout for a relaxed group meal before drinks around Headingley, Burley or back into the city centre.

​

The Tidy Take:
Viva Cuba is one of those Leeds places with real personality. Colourful, independent, full of flavour and built for tables that get steadily more crowded with plates. Great for sharing, laughing, over-ordering and pretending you only wanted “something light.”
