From small beginnings, Cubana officially opened in Cape Town 2001 as a single cell Cuban themed resto-bar and very quickly became South Africa’s fastest growing social café franchise.

Our family of franchisees have stood the test of time and seen the competition come and go.

Being an upmarket social lounge with a slogan of ‘come see…and be seen’ it epitomizes our stature and culture within the food, beverage and entertainment industry. Our generally mature clientele is often described as the ‘who’s who’, go-getters and serial socialites or entrepreneurs.

Cubana boasts an extensive a La Carte menu with options that allows for epicurean palates and late night eats. We have a wide range of instant crafted cocktails and a premium drinks selection with some the finest spirits and champagnes available.

For optimal results, franchises should be owner-operated, supported by a dedicated and well-trained, comprised of management; kitchen, bar, and waitron members; quantities naturally depending on store size and location.
